Persistence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and porcine circovirus type 2 in bacterial biofilms
(2015)
The aim of this pilot project was to investigate
association of viruses with bacterial
biofilms. Our preliminary data indicate that
important viral pathogens of swine, namely,
porcine reproductive and respiratory ...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Possesses an Antiviral Activity against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
(2014-05)
Pigs are often colonized by more than one bacterial and/or viral species during respiratory tract infections. This
phenomenon is known as the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae ...
In vitro effect of deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication
(2014-03)
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. Among monogastric farm animals,
swine are the most susceptible to DON as it markedly reduces feed intake and decreases weight gain.
DON has also been shown ...
Genetic diversity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolates of abattoir pigs
(2014-01)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, is present in swine herds worldwide. However, there is little information on strains infecting herds in Canada. A total of 160 swine lungs with ...
Exposure of feral swine (Sus scrofa) in the United States to selected pathogens
(2015-01)
Les porcs sauvages (Sus scrofa) sont largement distribués aux États-Unis. En 2011 et 2012, aux États-Unis des échantillons de sérum
et d’amygdales furent obtenus de 162 et 37 porcs sauvages, respectivement, afin d’évaluer ...
In vivo effect of deoxynivalenol (DON) naturally contaminated feed on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
(2014-12-05)
Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, is the most prevalent type B trichothecene mycotoxin worldwide. Pigs show a great sensitivity to DON, and because of the high proportion of grains in their diets, they are ...
Transcriptional approach to study porcine tracheal epithelial cells individually or dually infected with swine influenza virus and Streptococcus suis
(2014-04)
Background: Swine influenza is a highly contagious viral infection in pigs affecting the respiratory tract that can
have significant economic impacts. Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is one of the most important post-weaning ...
Identification of a novel herpesvirus associated with a penile proliferative lesion in a beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)
(2015-01)
The carcass of an adult male beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) was found beach cast in 2008 on the shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary at Rivière-Ouelle, Quebec, Canada. The carcass was transported to the Faculté de médecine ...
Unusual central nervous system lesions in slaughter-weight pigs with porcine circovirus type 2 systemic infection
(2011-04)
Lésions inhabituelles au système nerveux central chez des porcs au poids d’abattage atteints d’une
infection systémique par le circovirus porcin type 2. Une infection systémique par le circovirus porcin type 2
fut ...
Emergence of a New Swine H3N2 and Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza A Virus Reassortant in Two Canadian Animal Populations, Mink and Swine
(2011-12)
A swine H3N2 (swH3N2) and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 (pH1N1) influenza A virus reassortant (swH3N2/
pH1N1) was detected in Canadian swine at the end of 2010. Simultaneously, a similar virus was also detected
in Canadian mink ...
