Assessment of real-time PCR test in oral fluid samples for screening the serotypes of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae circulating in swine herds

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Researchers José Luis Arnal, Ana Belén Fernández, Sonia Lacotoure, Alfredo Ángel Benito, Sofía Lázaro, and Marcelo Gottschalk share their study evaluating oral fluids combined with qPCR for detecting and serotyping A. pleuropneumoniae in swine herds.

Virulence associated factors, antimicrobial resistance, and in silico serotyping of Streptococcus suis

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Researchers from the University of Guelph and the University of Montreal describe the distribution of serotypes of Streptococcus suis in this week’s science page. Thank you to researchers Aradanas, Poljak, Fittipaldi, Ricker, Farzan who worked on this study.
