In May 2008, we collected 1 serum sample and 1 nasal swab from each of 240 pigs (11 herds) in Cairo slums. (cdc.gov)

Altogether, these results suggest an interaction between genetic diversity, host immune system and disease severity. (irta.cat)

African swine fever is a viral disease that only infects pigs, not people - so it is not a public health threat nor a food safety concern. (nzpork.co.nz)

Hong Kong authorities have killed 10,700 pigs in two outbreaks, including one triggered by an animal imported from the mainland that was found to be infected. (molawyersmedia.com)
However, the level of activity is only about 6 percent of the activity found in normal pigs with fully functional CFTR channels. (esiason.org)
Feral pigs are found in every state and territory in Australia, but their highest concentration is in Queensland. (beefcentral.com)
Influenza is one such virus, but a group of Texan scientists have found another example in domestic Philippine pigs, and its one that's simultaneously more and less worrying - ebola. (nationalgeographic.com)
The cloned pigs were born with a mutation in the gene SORL1, which is interesting because the mutations are found in up to 2-3% of all early onset Alzheimer's cases in human beings. (medicalxpress.com)
Also human flu vaccines probably would not offer protection against the viruses that are found in pigs. (cdc.gov)

Typically a combination of signs will occur together in infected pigs. (cdc.gov)
We have shown that if we destroy this gene in pigs, precisely the early changes occur in the animals' brain cells that we had dared to hope for. (medicalxpress.com)

The PRRS vaccination for pigs is not very effective, as the disease has hit many vaccinated animals, the paper quoted Mai Van Hiep, vice head of the Department of Animal Health under the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. (thepigsite.com)
PRRS outbreaks has occurred in 13 cities and provinces across Vietnam since March, affecting 65,000 pigs and causing property losses worth tens of billions of Vietnamese dong (hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars). (thepigsite.com)
PRRS was first recognized in the United States in the mid-1980 sand is now present in most pig producing countries. (thepigsite.com)

We investigated the inflammatory responses of newborn CF and non-CF pig airways following a 4-hour exposure to heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus, in vivo and in vitro. (nih.gov)

A penalty system based on monitoring in the abattoir can result in fewer pigs with antibiotic residues and better food safety. (thepigsite.com)

This week's (4-8 September 2016) first joint international conference of the Association of Institutions for Tropical Veterinary Medicine and the Society of Tropical Veterinary Medicine featured a presentation on results on a survey of Taenia solium cysticercosis risk factors, perceptions and practices in smallholder pig production systems in Uganda. (ilri.org)
Human cysticercosis is a disease associated with poverty in areas where people eat pork and traditional pig husbandry is practised. (who.int)

For each household one person was interviewed about food and hygiene habits, management of the pigs, disease knowledge and practice of treatment with antiparasitic medicines. (slu.se)

To develop, teach and evaluate a training workshop that could rapidly prepare large numbers of health professionals working in hospitals in the Philippines to detect and safely manage Ebola virus disease (EVD). (who.int)

Feral pigs are prolific breeders with one sow being able to produce up to 20 piglets in 12 months. (beefcentral.com)
A strict separation must be enforced between piglets and fattening pigs, by means of separate clothing, foot baths, a walking route. (lovenfosse.com)
In fact, it is now the most common cause of systemic disease in nursery piglets. (capata.online)

Absence of clinical signs in infected pigs was reported ( 8 ) and was attributed to their low susceptibility to influenza (H5N1) ( 7 ). (cdc.gov)
Importantly, significant protection against JUNV challenge was observed even when ARN-75039 was withheld until 6 days after the viral challenge when clinical signs of disease are starting to develop. (bvsalud.org)

Symptoms of ASF are difficult to detect, and infected pigs can take up to more than two weeks to show signs of illness. (ed.ac.uk)
The infected pigs showed symptoms like high fever, difficulty in breathing, bodily weaknesses and loss of appetite. (ifp.co.in)
If we understand what is going wrong, we may be able to develop new therapies that can target the problem and allow more of the CFTR to make it to the cell surface, which may alleviate the disease symptoms. (esiason.org)
These animals developed CF disease symptoms that closely mimicked the human disease. (esiason.org)
These pigs also develop CF symptoms similar to the human disease. (esiason.org)
The question has always been, Is there a minimal amount of active CFTR that would be enough to protect people from the disease symptoms? (esiason.org)

It usually starts out as the pig being curious to investigate its surroundings and begins with harmless nibbling. (wikipedia.org)

In Cambodia, the majority of pigs are raised extensively in family backyards in households with between one and four pigs. (slu.se)
