Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae: from disease to vaccine development.

TLDR
In this review, the characteristics of M. hyopneumoniae related to pathogenesis and control measures will be discussed and special emphasis will be placed on vaccination strategies that have been proposed with the use of reverse vaccinology approaches.

Update on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs: Knowledge gaps for improved disease control.

TL;DR: The present paper reviews the current knowledge on M. hyopneumoniae infections, with emphasis on identification and analysis of knowledge gaps for optimizing control of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of reverse vaccinology approaches for the development of vaccines against ticks and tick borne diseases.

TL;DR: The field of reverse vaccinology developed as an outcome of the genome sequence revolution as discussed by the authors, where computers were used to mine genome sequences to rationally design recombinant vaccines, which led to the elimination of several highly infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic and local immune response in pigs intradermally and intramuscularly injected with inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccines.

TL;DR: The results support that the intradermal administration of an adjuvanted bacterin induces both systemic and mucosal immune responses.

Elongation Factor Thermo Unstable (EF-Tu) Moonlights as an Adhesin on the Surface of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae by Binding to Fibronectin.

TL;DR: This work used the virulent M. hyopneumoniae strain 168 to infect swine tracheal epithelial cells (STEC) to identify the infection-associated factors by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and found elongation factor thermo unstable (EF-Tu) exists on the cell surface of M.hyop pneumoniae.

Molecular Biology and Pathogenicity of Mycoplasmas

TL;DR: There is now solid genetic support for the hypothesis that mycoplasmas have evolved as a branch of gram-positive bacteria by a process of reductive evolution and developed various genetic systems providing a highly plastic set of variable surface proteins to evade the host immune system.

Reverse vaccinology, a genome-based approach to vaccine development.

Rino Rappuoli
- 21 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: The complete genomic sequence of a human pathogen represents a new unexploited field, to be used for the design of novel vaccines and antimicrobial drugs and this approach was named "reverse vaccinology".

Control of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs.

TL;DR: The main effects of vaccination include less clinical symptoms, lung lesions and medication use, and improved performance, however, bacterins provide only partial protection and do not prevent colonization of the organism.

Swine and Poultry Pathogens: the Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a Strain of Mycoplasma synoviae

Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, +86 more
TL;DR: Genomic comparisons revealed that reduction in genome size implied loss of redundant metabolic pathways, with maintenance of alternative routes in different species, and indicated a likely transfer event of hemagglutinin-coding DNA sequences from M. gallisepticum to M. synoviae.
Journal Article

Some recommendations concerning primary isolation of Mycoplasma suipneumoniae and Mycoplasma flocculare a survey.

Friis Nf
TL;DR: A description is given of a new medium with which primary isolation of mycoplasma species of the porcine respiratory tract is usually successful, and various additives often recommended for myCoplasma cultivation have been examined for growth promoting effect.
