Oesophagostomum dentatum and Trichuris suis infections in pigs born and raised on contaminated paddocks [PDF]
, 2006 SUMMARY Transmission of Oesophagostomum dentatum and Trichuris suis was studied in outdoor reared pigs. Six farrowing paddocks were naturally contaminated in May to mid June 2001 by experimentally infected seeder pigs. Early July, 1 sow farrowed on each

Hereditas, 2009 The karyotype of the pig (Sus scrofa domestica) is studied and characterized after applying G-band and C-band staining procedures. The material examined originates from 5 boars and 5 gilts and consists of cells from fibroblast and lymphoblast cultures. The identity of the X-chromosome is discussed.

The prevention of potato volunteers in organic farming systems by using pigs. [PDF]
, 2006 In organic agriculture potato volunteers, presenting an important primary inoculum source for late Blight (Phytophthora infestans), are controlled by mechanical meth-ods. These may be partly replaced by ‘foraging’ livestock animals, such as cattle, sheep,

Nitrogen and energy partitioning in two genetic groups of pigs fed low-protein diets at 130 kg body weight [PDF]
, 2015 The aim was to evaluate the effect of low-protein (LP) or low-amino acid diets on digestibility, energy and nitrogen (N) utilisation in 2 genetic groups (GG) of pigs (129±11 kg BW). Duroc×Large White (A) pigs were chosen to represent a traditional GG for

Guinea pigs sublethally infected with aerosolized Legionella pneumophila develop humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and are protected against lethal aerosol challenge. A model for studying host defense against lung infections caused by intracellular pathogens. [PDF]
, 1987 We have employed the guinea pig model of L. pneumophila infection, which mimics Legionnaires' disease in humans both clinically and pathologically, to study humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to L.
