Modeling the ASF (African Swine Fever) spread till summer 2017 and risk assessment for Poland [PDF]
African Swine Fever (ASF) is viral infection which causes acute disease in domestic pigs and wild boar. Although the virus does not cause disease in humans, the impact it has on the economy, especially through trade and farming, is substantial. Recent rapid propagation of the (ASF) from East to West of Europe encouraged us to prepare risk assessment ...

Abstract The emergence of new viruses and the spread of existing pathogens necessitate efficient vaccine production methods. The baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is an efficient and scalable system for subunit and virus‐like particle vaccine production and gene therapy vectors.

Multi-omic characterization of allele-specific regulatory variation in hybrid pigs
Hybrid mapping is a powerful approach to efficiently identify and characterize genes regulated through mechanisms in cis. In this study, using reciprocal crosses of the phenotypically divergent Duroc and Lulai pig breeds, we perform a comprehensive multi-

THE IMPACT OF SWINE PRODUCTION ON LAND VALUES IN ILLINOIS [PDF]
Based on a spatiotemporal hedonic farmland price model and county-level data in Illinois from 1979 to 1999, we examined the impact of swine production on farmland values.

The search for safer and more effective vaccine adjuvants has intensified in recent years, with triterpenoid saponins like QS‐21 and its analogues emerging as promising candidates. We report the synthesis of a novel QS‐21 analogue featuring betulinic acid as aglycone, a lupane‐type triterpenoid with low toxicity derived from white birch bark.

Will the swine strain crowd out the seasonal influenza strain? [PDF]
We use spatial and non spatial models to argue that competition alone may explain why two influenza strains do not usually coexist. The more virulent strain is likely to crowd out the less virulent one. This can be seen as a consequence of the Exclusion Principle of Ecology. We exhibit, however, a spatial model for which coexistence is possible.

OMIP‐113: Characterization of Cytokine Producing T Cells in Swine
ABSTRACT T cells are essential for preventing diseases and providing long‐term protective immunity. The functional capacity of T cells and the quality of their responses to antigens can be measured by the cytokines they produce. We developed a conventional flow cytometry panel utilizing commercially available antibodies to measure antigen‐specific T ...
