The Role of Short Journey Transportation in the Spreading of Swine Pathogens and Antimicrobial‐Resistant Bacteria

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The transport of live pigs poses a risk to on‐farm biosecurity. Trucks can carry pathogens with significant economic and health impacts, including antimicrobial‐resistant (AMR) bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the microbiological contamination of trucks before and after loading, focusing on AMR bacteria and other major pathogens transmissible ...

Recent Advances in Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Rapid Diagnosis of Viral Diseases

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Viral diseases are a major threat to human and animal health, as illustrated by recent pandemics like COVID‐19 and African swine fever (ASF). Timely, accurate detection of viral infections is critical for effective disease control. Among diverse diagnostic techniques, lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has become a widely used on‐site testing tool, owing ...

A RNase H2‐Linked TaqMan‐MGB Quantitative Real‐Time PCR Assay for Differential Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Live‐Attenuated Vaccine Strains

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae), the etiological agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, is one of the most prevalent and economically significant respiratory pathogens in the swine industry. Vaccination constitutes a primary strategy for controlling M. hyopneumoniae infections.

MHC Class II–Alpha Chain Knockout Mice Support Increased Viral Replication That Is Independent of Their Lack of MHC Class II Cell Surface Expression and Associated Immune Function Deficiencies

, 2015
MHCII molecules are heterodimeric cell surface proteins composed of an α and β chain. These molecules are almost exclusively expressed on thymic epithelium and antigen presenting cells (APCs) and play a central role in the development and function of CD4

Enhancing DNA immunization by targeting ASFV antigens to SLA-II bearing cells

Vaccine, 2011
One of the main criticisms to DNA vaccines is the poor immunogenicity that they confer on occasions, at least in large animals. Confirming this theory, immunization with plasmid DNA encoding two African swine fever virus genes in frame (pCMV-PQ), failed in inducing detectable immune responses in pigs, while it was successful in mice.

Study on the role of the sylvatic cycle of African swine fever in Senegal [PDF]

, 2009
It is generally believed that African swine fever (ASF) virus in Sub-Saharan Africa is maintained in nature by warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) and soft ticks from the genus Ornithodoros (Penrith et al., 2004).

mRNA:guanine- 7 cap methyltransferases: identification of novel members of the family, evolutionary analysis, homology modeling, and analysis of sequence-structure-function relationships [PDF]

, 2001
Background The 5'-terminal cap structure plays an important role in many aspects of mRNA metabolism. Capping enzymes encoded by viruses and pathogenic fungi are attractive targets for specific inhibitors.
