Porcine Dendritic Cells and Viruses: An Update [PDF]
Several viral infections of swine are responsible for major economic losses and represent a threat to the swine industry worldwide. New tools are needed to prevent and control endemic, emerging, and re-emerging viral diseases. Dendritic cells (DC) play a central role in linking the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, so knowledge regarding ...

Emergence of porcine circovirus‐like viruses associated with porcine diarrheal disease in China
The circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA virus emergence in diverse host has been associated with severe disease. Porcine circovirus-like virus (Po-Circo-like [PCL] virus) is a CRESS DNA virus, the prevalence and pathogenicity of which are rarely studied.We obtained two blood samples, four faecal samples ...

Experimental Infection of Pigs with Recent European Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Viruses [PDF]
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), belonging to the genus Alphacoronavirus, can cause serious disease in pigs of all ages, especially in suckling pigs. Differences in virulence have been observed between various strains of this virus. In this study, four pigs were inoculated with PEDV from Germany (intestine/intestinal content collected from pigs ...
