The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of Salmonella enterica in lymph nodes in sows and market hogs.
Negative cohort study plan for the estimation of diagnostic specificity of Two PCR assays for the detection of Classical Swine Fever, African Swine Fever and Foot and Mouth disease viruses in oral fluid samples
Investigating the effect of stressors on Senecavirus A pathogenesis and the potential occurrence of the “carrier state” in sows
Development of a vector platform to control swine enteric coronavirus disease
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) was first detected in the US in 2013. After its introduction, PEDV rapidly spread throughout the country, causing the deaths of over 7 million piglets and resulting in significant economic losses to the swine industry.…
Development of a bELISA for serological diagnostics and surveillance of SVA infection.
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a member of the Picornaviridae family and is associated with vesicular disease and neonatal mortality in swine. The primary concern of SVA associated disease is the development of vesicular lesions which are clinically indistinguishable from foot-and…
Determination of the Salmonella enterica prevalence in lymph nodes from market hogs and sows.
Survey of Microbiological Status of Offal Products from Pork Processing Facilities in the United States
Evaluation of immunodominant B- and T-cell epitopes as inducers of protective immunity against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
Since its emergence in domestic pigs in the late 1980’s, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused significant economic losses to swine producers worldwide. A recent study in the US has estimated annual losses of approximately 650 million…
Evaluation of a microbially-converted soybean meal as a substitute for fishmeal and a dietary acidifier in nursery pig diets and its effect on post-weaning diarrhea
There is concern that current demands for fish, and its resultant by product fishmeal (FM), are at unsustainable levels, as such, efforts are being placed on finding alternatives sources of quality protein for pig diets. Microbially-converted soybean meal (MCSBM), developed…
PEDV Diagnostic Approaches to Assess Sow Immunity and Piglet Protection
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) was first detected in the U.S. in May 2013 and spread rapidly across the country. PCR assays were quickly developed to detect the presence of PEDV RNA in intestinal contents or fecal material and these…
