Experimental pig-to-pig transmission dynamics for African swine fever virus, Georgia 2007/1 strain [PDF]

, 2015
African swine fever virus (ASFV) continues to cause outbreaks in domestic pigs and wild boar in Eastern European countries. To gain insights into its transmission dynamics, we estimated the pig-to-pig basic reproduction number (R 0) for the Georgia 2007 ...

Modulating Taste Perception in Newly Weaned Piglets: The Role of Palatability Additives in Enhancing Feed Intake and Performance

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Palatability enhancers modulate taste and smell, increasing feed acceptance, reducing weaning stress, and improving piglet performance. ABSTRACT The continuous growth of global agribusiness stimulates the search for alternatives that can enhance the performance and quality of life of production animals.

Genome-wide selection signature analysis identified new candidate genes for the teat number in three distinct strains of Large White pigs

Animal Advances
The number of teats is a critical reproductive trait in sows, exerting a direct impact on the survival rate of weaned piglets. Existing studies on selection signals associated with teat numbers in different strains of Large White pigs are scarce.

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

The course of hepatitis E virus infection in pigs after contact-infection and intravenous inoculation [PDF]

, 2009
Background - Worldwide, hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is observed in pigs and transmission to humans is implied. To be able to estimate public health risks from e.g.

Care and COVID 19: Lessons for liberals and neoliberals

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Within the liberal political traditions, care is regarded as a private matter, a problem of ethics rather than justice. Social justice is framed as an issue of economics (re/distribution), culture (recognition) and/or politics (representation).

HbpA from Glaesserella parasuis induces an inflammatory response in 3D4/21 cells by activating the MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways and protects mice against G. parasuis when used as an immunogen

Veterinary Research
Glaesserella parasuis is usually a benign swine commensal in the upper respiratory tract, but virulent strains can cause systemic infection characterized by pneumonia, meningitis, and fibrinous polyserositis. The intensive pulmonary inflammatory response

Investigating the Heat Stability and Inactivation Conditions of Decapod Iridescent Virus 1 (DIV1)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat treatment effectively inactivates decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) under milder conditions than current WOAH recommendations. DIV1 infectivity was eliminated at 56°C for 30 min, 60°C for 15 min, or 70°C for 1 min, providing optimized heat treatment strategies for aquaculture biosecurity and seafood safety.
