Abstract: Enhancing immunogenicity and antiviral protection of inactivated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine in piglets OBJECTIVE Porcine interferon-γ (poIFN-γ) and porcine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (poGM-CSF) are multifunctional cytokines that exhibit robust antiviral activity against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). In this study, the immunoadjuvant effects of recombinant poIFN-γ-poGM-CSF fusion protein in […]

Abstract: Risk assessment of influenza transmission between workers and pigs on US indoor hog growing units
Abstract: Risk assessment of influenza transmission between workers and pigs on US indoor hog growing units On pig farms ample opportunity exists for pig-to-human and human-to-pig (cross-species) influenza transmission. The purpose of this study was to assess the risks of cross-species influenza transmission within an indoor pig grower unit in the United States and to […]
Abstract: Analyzing the intrastate and interstate swine movement network in the United States
Abstract: Analyzing the intrastate and interstate swine movement network in the United States Identifying and restricting animal movements is a common approach used to mitigate the spread of diseases between premises in livestock systems. Therefore, it is essential to uncover between-premises movement dynamics, including shipment distances and network-based control strategies. Here, we analyzed three years […]
Abstract: Determination of the frequency of individuals with broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against PRRSV in the sow population under field conditions
Abstract: Abstract: Determination of the frequency of individuals with broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against PRRSV in the sow population under field conditions Background: Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is a significant swine pathogen, yet the immune response components contributing to protection remain incompletely understood. Broadly reactive neutralizing antibodies (bNAs) may play a crucial role […]
Abstract: Experimental reproduction of viral replication and disease in dairy calves and lactating cows inoculated with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b
Abstract: Experimental reproduction of viral replication and disease in dairy calves and lactating cows inoculated with highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 of the hemagglutinin clade 2.3.4.4b was detected in the United States in late 2021 and continues to circulate in all four North American flyways to date. […]
