Genetic diversity of group A rotavirus in swine in Canada
(2014-01-09)
Group A rotaviruses (RVA) in pigs have been poorly investigated in Canada. In a continued effort to fill this gap, ten finisher swine farms in Quebec, Canada, were sampled over a nine-month period. The presence of RVA was ...
Dynamics of viral distribution in a defined swine production network using enteric viruses as molecular markers
(2017-02)
Modern swine production systems represent complex and dynamic networks
involving numerous stakeholders. For instance, livestock transporters carry live
animals between fattening sites, abattoirs, and other premises on a ...
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 ...
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 ...
Unusual central nervous system lesions in slaughter-weight pigs with porcine circovirus type 2 systemic infection
