Swine Flu [PDF]

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2009
The recent outbreak of human infection with a novel Swine-Origin Influenza A (H1N1) virus is spreading rapidly through sustained human-to-human transmission in multiple countries. Human-to-human transmission occurs by inhalation of infectious droplets and droplet nuclei, and by direct contact, which is facilitated by air and land travel and social ...

Molecular subtyping of European swine influenza viruses and scaling to high-throughput analysis

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Swine influenza is a respiratory infection of pigs that may have a significant economic impact in affected herds and pose a threat to the human population since swine influenza A viruses (swIAVs) are zoonotic pathogens.

Reassortment process after co-infection of pigs with avian H1N1 and swine H3N2 influenza viruses

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background The influenza A virus is highly variable, which, to some degree, is caused by the reassortment of viral genetic material. This process plays a major role in the generation of novel influenza virus strains that can emerge in a new host ...

Antigenic and genetic evolution of contemporary swine H1 influenza viruses in the United States [PDF]

, 2018
Several lineages of influenza A viruses (IAV) currently circulate in North American pigs. Genetic diversity is further increased by transmission of IAV between swine and humans and subsequent evolution.

Serotype-specific role of antigen I/II in the initial steps of the pathogenesis of the infection caused by Streptococcus suis

Veterinary Research, 2017
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important post-weaning porcine bacterial pathogens worldwide. The serotypes 2 and 9 are often considered the most virulent and prevalent serotypes involved in swine infections, especially in Europe.

Implementation of piglet castration under inhalation anaesthesia on farrowing farms

Porcine Health Management, 2022
Background Since 01.01.2021, suckling piglets may no longer be castrated without anaesthesia in Germany. Previous studies showed castration using isoflurane anaesthesia in combination with a suitable analgesic, meet the requirements of the German Animal ...

Defatted Rice Bran Supplementation in Diets of Finishing Pigs: Effects on Physiological, Intestinal Barrier, and Oxidative Stress Parameters

Animals, 2020
Rice bran is a waste product with low cost and high fiber content, giving it an added advantage over corn and soybean meal, which have to be purchased and always at a relatively higher cost.

Cross-protection between antigenically distinct H1N1 swine influenza viruses from Europe and North America [PDF]

, 2011
Background An avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) is enzootic in swine populations of Western Europe. The virus is antigenically distinct from H1N1 SIVs in North America that have a classical swine virus-lineage H1 hemagglutinin, as does the ...
