Abstract: Ecological Drivers of Evolution of Swine Influenza in the United States: A Review
Abstract: Ecological Drivers of Evolution of Swine Influenza in the United States: A Review Influenza A viruses (IAVs) pose a major public health threat due to their wide host range and pandemic potential. Pigs have been proposed as “mixing vessels” for avian, swine, and human IAVs, significantly contributing to influenza ecology. In the United States, […]
Notes from the Field: Seroprevalence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5) Virus Infections Among Bovine Veterinary Practitioners — United States, September 2024
Notes from the Field: Seroprevalence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5) Virus Infections Among Bovine Veterinary Practitioners — United States, September 2024 Summary What is already known about this topic? Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus infections have been detected in humans exposed to infected dairy cattle. What is added by this report? Public […]
Abstract: Biosecurity measures reducing Salmonella spp. and hepatitis E virus prevalence in pig farms-a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract: Biosecurity measures reducing Salmonella spp. and hepatitis E virus prevalence in pig farms-a systematic review and meta-analysis Salmonella spp. and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are significant foodborne zoonotic pathogens that impact the health of livestock, farmers, and the general public. This study aimed to identify biosecurity measures (BSMs) against these pathogens on swine farms in Europe, the […]
Abstract: Synthesizing evidence and identifying knowledge gaps in the role of swine in Japanese encephalitis virus transmission: a rapid systematic review of the literature
Abstract: Synthesizing evidence and identifying knowledge gaps in the role of swine in Japanese encephalitis virus transmission: a rapid systematic review of the literature The United States is considered a susceptible region with great potential for the introduction of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) given the presence of competent mosquito vector species, susceptible maintenance avian […]
Abstract: Revisiting the risk of introduction of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) into the United States – An updated semi-quantitative risk assessment
Abstract: Revisiting the risk of introduction of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) into the United States – An updated semi-quantitative risk assessment Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is associated with encephalitis in humans and reproductive and neurological illness in pigs. JEV has expanded beyond its native distribution in southeast Asia, with identifications in Europe (2010) and Africa […]
Abstract: A scoping review of studies reporting biosecurity practices in small and backyard farms raising livestock or poultry in developed countries, 2000-2022
Abstract: A scoping review of studies reporting biosecurity practices in small and backyard farms raising livestock or poultry in developed countries, 2000-2022 Over the past two decades, there have been growing concerns around small and backyard farms in developed countries due to the potential risk they pose in introducing and spreading infectious disease agents. Ensuring […]
Abstract: Neither increasing the frequency of sow feedings nor decreasing the interval between feedings prior to farrowing reduced piglet stillbirths
Abstract: Neither increasing the frequency of sow feedings nor decreasing the interval between feedings prior to farrowing reduced piglet stillbirths Farrowing durations that exceed 240 min cause stillborn rates to increase. Therefore, feeding strategies in late gestation have been studied to mitigate the negative consequences of extended farrowing durations. A total of 1,501 sows (PIC […]
JSHAP Online Ahead of Print: Hematological parameters of pigs in different housing systems in Slovenia
JSHAP Online Ahead of Print: Hematological parameters of pigs in different housing systems in Slovenia Objectives: Establish blood reference values and evaluate the influence of age on the hematological profile of indigenous Slovenian Krškopolje pigs and compare these values with conventionally farmed pigs. Materials and methods: Blood samples were taken from 57 grower and 36 finisher Krškopolje […]
Abstract: Prevalence and characterization of Salmonella species on U.S. swine sites as part of the NAHMS 2021 swine enteric study
Abstract: Prevalence and characterization of Salmonella species on U.S. swine sites as part of the NAHMS 2021 swine enteric study Salmonella species are an important cause of systemic and gastrointestinal disease in animals and humans worldwide; they are also increasingly resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobials which may aid in their treatment and control. Salmonella […]
