Objective: To study antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria isolated from food animals different countries using uniform methodology.
The spread of classical swine fever virus was investigated in an isolation unit containing four pens, each six slaughter pigs. One pig the middle pen three adjacent pens inoculated intramuscularly and intranasally with virus. fourth located a separate compartment. were visited strict order to study, first, effect indirect contact via contaminated clothing footwear on and, secondly, airborne transmission between compartments. pigs examined blood samples taken every other day for 62 days...
The objective of this study was to analyse an outbreak classical swine fever under a policy non-vaccination, intensive surveillance and eradication in area high pig density. virus found 52 herds, where some 90,000 pigs were slaughtered. clinical signs vague the reports suspect herds generally coincided with increased mortality. interval between first occurrence report herd shorter when disease diagnosed fattening than it sows, boars or suckling piglets. Among pigs, mortality morbidity...
Summary The spread of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) virus (strain Lorraine), originally isolated in the first CSF infected herd 1993–1994 Belgian epizootic, was examined an isolation unit with three adjacent pens and 15 weaner pigs per pen. Virus introduced through experimental inoculation one pig middle pen (pen 2). experimentally inoculated became viraemic 4 days post‐inoculation (dpi) mates at 12 (n = 9) 14 dpi 5). viraemia 1 3 observed 18 dpi. Pigs were found to be seropositive 1, 2, from...
In 2013, EFSA published a comprehensive systematic review of epidemiological studies from 2006 to 2012 investigating the association between pesticide exposure and many health outcomes. Despite considerable amount information available, quality much this evidence was rather low limitations likely affect results so firm conclusions cannot be drawn. Studies that do not meet 'recognised standards' mentioned in Regulation (EU) No 1107/2009 are thus suited for risk assessment. Scientific Opinion,...
A cross‐sectional epidemiological study was conducted in 150 randomly selected farrow‐to‐finish herds to investigate which non‐infectious factors might act as risk indicators for the prevalence and severity of macroscopic microscopic lung lesions slaughter pigs. Data were collected during herd visits through inspections pigs interviews with farmers. Macroscopic pneumonia pleuritis recorded at from 25 per herd, lymphohistiocytic infiltration 10 herd. The median level prevalences 24 cent...
Safety assessment of chemicals and products in the European Union (EU) is based on decades practice using primarily animal toxicity studies to model hazardous effects humans. Nevertheless, there has been a long-standing ethical concern about experimental animals. In addition, models may fail predict adverse This provided strong motivation develop use new approach methodologies other alternative sources evidence. A key challenge for this integration evidence from different sources. paper call...
Summary An inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccine was evaluated in five pig herds clinically infected with enzootic pneumonia and practising a continuous production system the growing/finishing unit. In each herd, vaccinated control group of approximately 47 pigs were individually monitored from birth until slaughter. Vaccinated received first dose at about 1 week age second 3 weeks later. During all stages, an equal number present same pen. Both groups compared respect to zootechnical...
