Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induces a persistent viral infection associated with an inefficient humoral immune response. A study of lymphoid B cells and specific humoral immune response was performed in blood and several lymphoid organs collected from PRRSV experimentally-infected pigs. Groups of specific pathogen-free (SPF) pigs were infected with the LHVA-93-3 isolate of PRRSV, and blood, tonsils, spleen and mediastinal lymph nodes (MLN) were collected at various times postinfection (p.i.) (3-60 days). Lymphoid cells were isolated, immunolabeled for cytofluorometric determination of B cell percentages, used for counting specific anti-PRRSV antibody secreting B cells by an ELISPOT assay, or cultured for metabolic activity. The presence of anti-PRRSV antibodies in the serum of infected pigs was determined using a commercial ELISA assay. Virus detection was performed in all tissues, including lungs, by virus isolation and RT-PCR. The results show that percentages of B cells increased in tonsils as soon as 3 days until 17 days p.i. in PRRSV-infected pigs while they increased in spleen at 3 days p.i. only, due to an increase of larger Ig(high)-producing B cells. Metabolic activity of lymphoid cells from blood and spleen increased at 3 days p.i. only while lymphoid cells from tonsils and MLN transiently decreased at that time and increased thereafter up to 60 days p.i. Anti-PRRSV antibody-secreting B cells occurred in tonsils after 10 days p.i. and strongly increased up to 60 days p.i. However, specific anti-PRRSV-secreting B cells were detected in blood and spleen after 17 days p.i and in MLN only after 45 days p.i. Specific antibodies were detectable in serum at 10 days p.i., reached the maximum level at 45 days and remained high up to 60 days p.i. Infectious virus was detected in lungs and MLN as soon as 3 days p.i., and remained detectable up to 45 days p.i. in tonsils of one pig while viral RNA was detected in most organs up to 60 days p.i. In vitro experiments revealed that inactivated virus induced a stimulation of lymphoid cells isolated from PRRSV-infected pigs while it was cytotoxic for lymphoid cells from control pigs. Taken together, these results indicate that viral infection induced simultaneously a polyclonal activation of B cells, mainly in tonsils, and an exaggerated and prolonged specific humoral immune response due to persistent viral infection in lymphoid organs.  相似文献

An experiment using 32 pigs in a 2(3) factorial arrangement of treatments was used to determine the effects on the (1) level of iron dextran supplementation, (2) iv infusion of an Escherichia coli 263 culture filtrate and (3) presence of E. coli 263 in a ligated intestinal segment, on the ability of the young pig to limit systemic Fe availability. Iron dextran was administered im 3 d postpartum. Culture filtrate was infused iv, E. coli were injected into ligated intestines and blood sampling was started at 14 d postpartum. Blood was taken every 2 h for 22 h, after which pigs were euthanized and livers, spleens and kidneys were removed. Pigs receiving 400 mg of iron dextran (HiFe) exhibited greater serum Fe (SFe) and lower total Fe-binding capacity (TIBC) than pigs injected with 100 mg Fe (LoFe). The effects of the E. coli culture filtrate infusion appeared to be associated with endotoxin-induced circulatory shock. The presence of E. coli in the intestine increased TIBC in LoFe pigs, but not in HiFe pigs. The increase in TIBC coincided with the time of maximal fluid secretion into the intestine. Intestinal E. coli also caused an increase in liver Fe content, particularly in HiFe pigs. These data suggest that intestinal E. coli can cause a shift of Fe from the plasma to the reticuloendothelial system, and pigs receiving high supplemental dosages of Fe are less able to limit the availability of Fe to microorganisms.  相似文献

Reduced levels of total iron binding capacity and unsaturated iron binding capacity were observed in the blood of trichinous and iron-injected trichinous pigs. No change was observed in their serum iron and saturation concentration levels. Also, reduced iron concentration levels were observed in the livers of trichinous pigs, while increased iron concentration levels were observed in the spleens of trichinous pigs and the livers and spleens of iron-injected pigs. No difference was found with regard to weight gains, number of larvae per gram of tissues, or histologic characteristics of 'nurse cells'.  相似文献

The frequency of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection in Nebraska specific-pathogen-free (SPF) pigs was determined by serologic and bacteriologic cultural analysis. Serum samples from non-SPF herds were tested for comparison. A total of 1,282 of 1,397 (92%) of the SPF pigs tested had antibody to B bronchiseptica; 37 of 220 (17%) were culture-positive, and 67 of 4125 (1.6%) were considered suspicious for atrophic rhinitis during slaughter inspection. A higher percentage of the non-SPF pigs had titers to B bronchiseptica (642 of 659 pigs or 97% of the pigs tested). There was no relationship between the B bronchiseptica antibody titer, the isolation of B bronchiseptica, or the frequency of gross lesions of atrophic rhinitis from pigs within the herd. The serum agglutination test may be a more reliable procedure for determining the herd prevalence of B bronchiseptica than isolation of the organism by cultural methods.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the transmission of pathogenic respiratory bacteria to thirteen 5-month-old specific pathogen free (SPF) pigs, during the slaughtering process in a commercial slaughterhouse. Before transportation, the SPF pigs and the lorry were checked to confirm the absence of pathogenic respiratory bacteria.

Nine SPF pigs (group 1) were in contact in a conventional slaughterhouse with finishing pigs, during 4 h before slaughtering. Four SPF pigs (group 2) were slaughtered immediately at arrival in the slaughterhouse.

Five bacterial pathogens (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis) were detected by PCR, after slaughtering, from nasal cavities, tonsils and trachea in the two groups of pigs. Lung samples were PCR negative. Three and four bacterial species were isolated from the pigs of group 2 and group 1, respectively. Cultures were negative from the lungs.

All the bacterial species present in the SPF pigs were detected by PCR. P. multocida was isolated, from three samples of scalding water before the onset of slaughtering.

Our results suggest that the SPF pigs became contaminated mainly by the slaughterhouse environment and the scalding water. Histological examinations revealed that during scalding, contaminated water could reach the trachea and the lungs of pigs. Checks conducted at slaughter for respiratory disorders have to be carried on, but nasal cavities and tonsils are not appropriate for bacteriological investigations. Moreover, bacteriological results obtained from the lungs of slaughtered pigs have to be used with carefulness.  相似文献

The risk of Salmonella shedding among pigs at slaughter with regard to their previous on‐farm Salmonella status was assessed in a group of pigs from a farm from NE of Spain. A total of 202 pigs that had been serologically monitored monthly during the fattening period and from which mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and faecal (SFEC) samples were collected at slaughter for Salmonella isolation were included. A repeated‐measures anova was used to assess the relationship between mean OD% values during the fattening period and sampling time and bacteriology on MLN and SFEC. Pigs were also grouped into four groups, that is pigs seronegative during the fattening period and Salmonella negative in MLN (group A; = 69); pigs seronegative during the fattening period but Salmonella positive in MLN (B; = 36); pigs seropositive at least once and Salmonella positive in MLN (C; = 50); and pigs seropositive at least once but Salmonella negative in (D; = 47). Pigs shedding at slaughter seroconverted much earlier and showed much higher mean OD% values than non‐shedders pigs. The proportion of Salmonella shedders in groups A and D was high and similar (26.1% and 29.8%, respectively), but significantly lower than that for groups B and C. The odds of shedding Salmonella for groups B and C were 4.8 (95% CI = 1.5–15.5) and 20.9 (3.7–118) times higher, respectively, when compared to A. It was concluded that a large proportion of Salmonella seronegative pigs may shed Salmonella at slaughter, which would be likely associated to previous exposure with contaminated environments (i.e. transport and lairage). For pigs already infected at farm, the likelihood of shedding Salmonella was much higher and may depend on whether the bacterium has colonized the MLN or not. The odds of shedding Salmonella spp. were always much higher for pigs in which Salmonella was isolated from MLN.  相似文献

Thirty-two Escherichia coli colonies were taken from the primary step of cultivation of the jejunal contents of each of 10 dead piglets which had suffered from diarrhea. The organisms of each colony were examined for the presence of adhesion fimbria (F4 (K88) and F5 (K99)), production of heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxin and of colicins.The presence of heat-labile enterotoxin in the intestinal content of the necropsied pigs was also tested, and results correlated with enterotoxin production of the isolated E. coli strains. In all but 3 pigs, 50–80 % of the E. coli strains were found to produce one or both of the enterotoxins and to possess the F4 of the F5 antigen. All bacteria producing both heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxin proved to belong toi O group 149 and to possess the F4 antigen. Strains from 1 pig belonged to O group 64 and possessed the F5 antigen; these bacteria produced heat-stable enterotoxin only. Most of the enterotoxin-producing E. coli also produced colicins.After each subcultivation, the strains produced less heat-labile enterotoxin, some becoming negative when assayed.  相似文献

The present study tested the hypothesis that levamisole exerts its immunopotentiating activity in weaned pigs vaccinated against colibacillosis by priming the lymphocytes and macrophages in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN). Ten weaned piglets were used and allocated into two equal groups. The experimental group was intramuscularly primed with levamisole at an immunostimulatory dose of 2.5 mg/kg given daily, in three consecutive days, and controls received saline according to the same schedule. Both groups were orally vaccinated with the vaccinal Escherichia coli strain on day 0 and challenged with the virulent E. coli strain 7 days later. All pigs were killed on postchallenge day 6. Upon virulent challenge the health status of the two groups was evaluated by clinical observations, and expression of CD25, SWC7 and SWC9 activation antigens by MLN and spleen T and B cells and macrophages, respectively, was tested using flow cytometry. Priming by levamisole significantly contributed to the effectiveness of a live attenuated oral vaccine against porcine postweaning colibacillosis, as evidenced by a good health status of primed vaccinated vs. un-primed vaccinated pigs. The CD3+, CD25+ and SWC9+ MLN but not spleen T cells and macrophages increased in experimental vs. control pigs, implying that levamisole exerts its potentiating activity in the MLN by augmenting both recruitment and activation of cells that participate in cell-mediated immunity.  相似文献

In a study of field material and a survey conducted by the authors, typical signs of colibacillosis of 6-to-12-week-old poults included sudden onset, listlessness, rales, and high mortality. Signs persisted for about 2 weeks and were often followed by a low incidence of lameness caused by Escherichia coli. Gross lesions included enlarged and congested spleens and livers, and dilated discolored black or purple duodenal loops. Microscopic lesions included splenic and hepatic congestion. In some birds (freshly killed and fixed immediately), the epithelium at the tips of the duodenal villi was sloughing, but in other birds the villi were intact and normal in appearance. Splenic enlargement, the presence of intranuclear splenic inclusions similar to those found in hemorrhagic enteritis (HE), and the isolation of HE virus from some of the field spleens all indicated that inapparent HE infection often occurs at approximately the same time as this type of colibacillosis. It is therefore believed that HE infection often exacerbates colibacillosis of older poults.  相似文献

Campylobacter jejuni in poultry giblets   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A total of 200 poultry giblets, 50 each of chickens, ducks, squab and turkeys, were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni. In chicken giblets, C. jejuni was isolated from gizzards, hearts, livers and spleens with incidences of 28%, 10%, 40% and 16% respectively while 24%, 6%, 36% and 10% of duck gizzards, hearts, livers and spleens were positive for the organism, respectively. C. jejuni was detected in 6% of squab gizzards, in 10% of squab livers but failed to be detected in squab hearts & spleens. In turkey giblets, 16% of gizzards, 4% of hearts, 30% of livers and 8% of spleens were positive for the organism. C. jejuni was more frequently isolated from liver samples than gizzard, spleen and heart samples, each constituting of 29%, 18.5%, 8.5% and 5%, respectively. High incidence of C. jejuni was recorded among chicken giblets (23.5%), followed by duck giblets (19%), then turkey giblets (14.5%) and finally squab giblets (4%).  相似文献

The effect of a bacterial infection on interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by porcine cells was studied in specific pathogen-free (SPF) pigs, infected intranasally with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2. Three experimental groups of five pigs were used: infected non-treated pigs, infected pigs that were treated with enrofloxacin at disease onset, and non-infected, non-treated control pigs. Blood samples were collected from all pigs on the day of infection and on days 1, 4, 7, 13 and 17 post-infection. Sera were analysed for presence of antibodies to A. pleuropneumoniae and for the cytokines IL-6 and IFN-alpha. Ability to produce these cytokines was tested in vitro using whole blood cultures stimulated with inactivated virus (Aujeszky's disease virus infected porcine kidney cells (ADV/PK-15)), inactivated bacteria (A. pleuropneumoniae) or bacterial plasmid (pcDNA3). All cytokine inducers were used neat or pre-incubated with the transfectious agent lipofectin. IL-6 appeared in the serum of all infected non-treated animals but no IFN-alpha was found in the serum of any of the experimental pigs. Accordingly, the bacteria induced a substantial IL-6 but hardly any IFN-alpha production when tested in vitro. However, following incubation with lipofectin, the inactivated bacteria as well as pcDNA3 became efficient inducers of IFN-alpha in whole blood cultures. The increased IFN-alpha production, previously recorded in vitro during the acute phase of infection with A. pleuropneumoniae, was confirmed using lipofected plasmid DNA and it was indicated that leukocytes obtained from infected but apparently cured animals also exhibited an increased production of IFN-alpha. Thus, even mild/sub-clinical bacterial infections may affect cytokine production in pigs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To identify potential bacterial pathogens in normal and telangiectatic livers of mature cattle at slaughter and to identify consumer risk associated with hepatic telangiectasia. SAMPLE POPULATION: 50 normal livers and 50 severely telangiectatic livers. PROCEDURE: Normal and telangiectatic livers were collected at slaughter for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture. Isolates were identified, and patterns of isolation were analyzed. Histologic examination of all livers was performed. RESULTS: Human pathogens isolated from normal and telangiectatic livers included Escherichia coli O157:H7 and group-D streptococci. Most livers in both groups contained bacteria in low numbers; however, more normal livers yielded negative culture results. More group-D streptococci were isolated from the right lobes of telangiectatic livers than from the left lobes, and more gram-negative anaerobic bacteria were isolated from left lobes of telangiectatic livers than from right lobes. All telangiectatic lesions were free of fibrosis, active necrotizing processes, and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The USDA regulation condemning telangiectatic livers is justified insofar as these livers contain more bacteria than normal livers do; however, normal livers contain similar species of microflora. Development of telangiectasia could not be linked to an infectious process. The finding of E coli O157:H7 in bovine livers suggests that information regarding bacterial content of other offal and muscle may identify sources of this and other potential foodborne pathogens and assist in establishing critical control points for the meat industry.  相似文献

Two serovars of Salmonella enterica, namely serovar Typhimurium (ST) and serovar Choleraesuis (SC) account for the vast majority of clinical cases of swine salmonellosis worldwide. These serovars are thought to be transmitted among pigs in production settings mainly through fecal-oral routes. Yet, few studies have evaluated effects of these serovars on expression of innate immune targets when presented to pigs via repeated oral dosing in an attempt to model transmission in production settings. Thus, a primary objective of the current experiments was to evaluate expression of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and selected chemoattractive mediators (interleukin 8, IL8; macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF; osteopontin, OPN) in tissues from pigs exposed to ST or SC that had been transformed with kanamycin resistance and green (STG) or red (SCR) fluorescent protein to facilitate isolation from pen fecal samples. In vitro studies confirmed that STG and SCR largely (though not completely) retained their ability to upregulate IL8 and CC chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) in cultured swine jejunal epithelial cells. Transformed bacteria were then fed to pigs in an in vivo study to determine tissue specific effects on mRNA relative expression. Pigs were fed cookie dough inoculated with bacteria on days 0, 3, 7, and 10 with 10(8)CFU STG (n=8) or SCR (n=8), while control (CTL) pigs (n=8) received dough without bacteria. Animals were sacrificed 14 days from the initial bacterial challenge and samples of tonsil, jejunum, ileum, colon, mesenteric lymph node (MLN), spleen, and liver were removed for subsequent RNA isolation. Expression of mRNA in tissues was determined using real-time quantitative PCR and expressed relative to 18S rRNA. Within CTL pigs, when expressed relative to the content in liver, mRNA for all targets demonstrated substantial tissue effects (P<0.001 for all TLR; MIF, and OPN; P<0.05 for IL8). Feeding STG and SCR resulted in significant (P相似文献

The in vitro immune response of pigs in herds infected or non-infected with H. parahaemolyticus (HP) was investigated by lymphocyte stimulation and leucocyte migration inhibition tests. The stimulation of pig lymphocytes with HP bacteria has been measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation. The response of the cells seems to be specific, lymphocytes from chronically HP-infected animals showed positive reactions with high frequency, while on the contrary, cells from SPF (specific pathogen free) animals reacted only occasionally to the HP antigens. However, in the leucocyte migration inhibition test the reactions were less specific; the widely occurring H. parasuis bacteria seem to possess antigen(s) which causes cross reactions with HP in this test.Vaccination with HP bacteria induced sensitive lymphocytes in the blood of SPF pigs and an increase of the in vitro lymphocyte reactions in already positive animals.  相似文献

Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen causing important zoonosis worldwide. Pigs asymptomatically infected in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) can be intermittent shedders of the pathogen through faeces, being considered a major source of human infections. European baseline studies of fattening pig salmonellosis are based on Salmonella detection in MLN. This work studies the relationship between Salmonella infection in MLN and intestinal content (IC) shedding at slaughter and the relationship between the presence of the pathogen and the serologic status at farm level. Mean Salmonella prevalence in the selected pigs (vertically integrated production system of Navarra, Spain) was 7.2% in MLN, 8.4% in IC and 9.6% in serum samples. In this low–moderate prevalence context, poor concordance was found between MLN infection and shedding at slaughter and between bacteriology and serology. In fact, most of shedders were found uninfected in MLN (83%) or carrying different Salmonella strains in MLN and in IC (90%). The most prevalent Salmonellae were Typhimurium resistant to ACSSuT ± Nx or ASSuT antibiotic families, more frequently found invading the MLN (70%) than in IC (33.9%). Multivariable analysis revealed that risk factors associated with the presence of Salmonella in MLN or in IC were different, mainly related either to good hygiene practices or to water and feed control, respectively. Overall, in this prevalence context, detection of Salmonella in MLN is an unreliable predictor of faecal shedding at abattoir, indicating that subclinical infections in fattening pigs MLN could have limited relevance in the IC shedding.  相似文献

A total of 72 specific pathogen-free (SPF) and Iberian pigs (three animals per group) were inoculated with 200, 1000 or 20,000 muscle larvae of T. spiralis, T. nativa, T. britovi and T. pseudospiralis. For each animal, the muscle larva burden was evaluated in nine muscle samples by digestion. The anti-Trichinella IgG kinetics in blood samples, taken twice prior and at days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 post-inoculation, and in muscle juice, obtained at necropsy, was evaluated by an ELISA using an excretory/secretory antigen. The mean larval recovery rate in SPF/Iberian pigs corresponded with the level of inoculum dose, and tongue, diaphragm and masseter were identified as predilection muscles. In SPF and Iberian pigs receiving 20,000 larvae of T. spiralis, an earlier seroconversion was detected from day 25 post-inoculation. At a 10-fold dilution, the muscle juice showed a good test agreement with blood serum.  相似文献
