Frequency of PCV‑2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status

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.

In this week’s Science Page researchers Mònica Sagrera, Laura Garza-Moreno, Marina Sibila, Salvador Oliver-Ferrando, Sonia Cárceles, Carlos Casanovas, Patricia Prieto, Alberto García-Flores, David Espigares, and Joaquim Segalés share the results of their study assessing PCV2 viremia in Spanish nursery piglets based on the farm PRRS status.

Summary: PRRSV-Vaccinated, Seronegative Sows and Maternally Derived Antibodies: Impact on PRRSV-1 Challenge Outcomes in Piglets

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.

In today’s Science Page, we propose a summary of an article by Belgian researchers Jorian Fiers, Dominiek Maes, Ann-Brigitte Cay, Laurent Mostin, Anna Parys, and Marylène Tignon on the influence of maternally-derived antibodies on PRRSV infection.
