Abstract: Pradofloxacin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Profiling of Streptococcus suis Isolates: Insights into Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Swine This study evaluated the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of pradofloxacin against various swine respiratory pathogens, including Bordetella bronchiseptica, Glaesserella parasuis, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, and Streptococcus suis (S. suis), associated with disease in swine. This research was conducted in two phases: the initial phase examined isolates from […]

Abstract: Pathogenicity and transmissibility of bovine-derived HPAI H5N1 B3.13 virus in pigs
Abstract: Pathogenicity and transmissibility of bovine-derived HPAI H5N1 B3.13 virus in pigs Since the first emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 viruses in dairy cattle, the virus has continued to spread, reaching at least 16 states and at least 950 dairy herds in the United States. Subsequently, spillovers of the virus from dairy […]
Abstract: Optimizing Tongue Fluid Sampling and Testing Protocols for Enhanced PRRSV Isolation from Perinatal Swine Mortalities
Abstract: Optimizing Tongue Fluid Sampling and Testing Protocols for Enhanced PRRSV Isolation from Perinatal Swine Mortalities Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains a major concern for swine health. Isolating PRRSV is essential for identifying infectious viruses and for vaccine formulation. This study evaluated the potential of using tongue fluid (TF) from perinatal piglet […]
Abstract: Development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for flunixin in cattle and swine following dermal exposure
Abstract: Development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for flunixin in cattle and swine following dermal exposure Flunixin meglumine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Banamine Transdermal is a pour-on formulation of flunixin approved for pain control in beef and dairy cattle, but not for calves and some classes of dairy cattle or swine. Violative […]
JSHAP Online Ahead of Print: Risk factors associated with prolonged infection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus determined by whole-herd sampling methods
JSHAP Online Ahead of Print: Risk factors associated with prolonged infection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus determined by whole-herd sampling methods Abstract: Two naive sow herds became infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and were exposed by live virus inoculation (LVI) on week 0. Serum and tonsil scrapings were collected on week […]
Abstract: Perceptions of swine euthanasia among Brazilian caretakers from non-integrated swine farms
Abstract: Perceptions of swine euthanasia among Brazilian caretakers from non-integrated swine farms Timely and humane euthanasia is crucial for animal welfare on swine farms, yet challenges persist in its implementation, particularly in Brazil, where the responsibility often falls to caretakers lacking training. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of swine caretakers […]
Abstract: The case for development of a core outcome set (COS) and supplemental reporting guidelines for influenza vaccine challenge trial research in swine
Abstract: The case for development of a core outcome set (COS) and supplemental reporting guidelines for influenza vaccine challenge trial research in swine Previously, we systematically reviewed more than 20 years of influenza vaccine challenge trial research in pigs to answer the question, “does vaccinating sows protect offspring?” Overall, most studies were well designed but clinical […]
Abstract: Modified multiplex PCR for serotyping and pathotyping of Streptococcus suis
Abstract: Modified multiplex PCR for serotyping and pathotyping of Streptococcus suis Introduction. Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen that causes invasive infections in humans who have been in close contact with infected pigs or contaminated pork-derived products. There is currently no consensus on the universal virulence factors or markers that can differentiate pathogenic from non-pathogenic or commensal S. suis isolates.Gap […]
Abstract: Overcoming barriers and understanding the psychological impact of timely pig euthanasia on Spanish-speaking swine caretakers in the United States
Abstract: Overcoming barriers and understanding the psychological impact of timely pig euthanasia on Spanish-speaking swine caretakers in the United States Introduction: This study explores the complex experiences of Spanish-speaking swine caretakers with euthanasia, focusing on mental health, stress, burnout, and the impact of cultural factors. Methods: We conducted qualitative focus groups with Spanish-speaking swine caretakers from multiple […]
Abstract: Machine learning models provide modest accuracy in predicting clinical impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome type 2 in Canadian sow herds
Abstract: Machine learning models provide modest accuracy in predicting clinical impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome type 2 in Canadian sow herds Objective To determine the predictive potential of the open reading frame 5 nucleotide sequence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and the basic demographic data on the severity of the […]
