The period during which pigs are protected after vaccination is important for the successful usage of a marker vaccine against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in an eradication programme. In four animal experiments with different vaccination-challenge intervals we determined the duration of protection of an E2 subunit marker vaccine in pigs after a single vaccination. Unvaccinated pigs were included in each group to detect transmission of the challenge virus.Three groups of six pigs were vaccinated once and subsequently inoculated with the virulent CSFV strain Brescia after a vaccination-challenge interval of 3, 51/2, 6 or 13 months. All vaccinated pigs, 16 out of 18, with neutralising antibodies against CSFV at the moment of challenge, 3, 51/2, 6 or 13 months later, survived, whereas unvaccinated control pigs died from acute CSF or were killed being moribund. A proportion of the vaccinated pigs did however develop fever or cytopenia after challenge and two vaccinated pigs were viremic after challenge. Virus transmission of vaccinated and challenged pigs to unvaccinated sentinel pigs did not occur in groups of pigs which were challenged 3 or 6 months after a single vaccination. Two out of eight vaccinated pigs that were found negative for CSFV neutralising antibody at 13 months after vaccination died after subsequent challenge.The findings in this study demonstrate that pigs can be protected against a lethal challenge of CSFV for up to 13 months after a single vaccination with an E2 subunit marker vaccine.  相似文献

The prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in pigs at abattoirs is higher than in pigs sampled on farms. This study investigated whether MRSA negative pigs can become MRSA positive during transportation from the farm to the abattoir after exposure to other pigs and environmental sources of MRSA. Nasal swabs were collected from four batches of pigs during loading at the farm, on arrival at the abattoir and after stunning. Environmental wipes were taken from lorries after transporting pigs and from lairages after holding pigs. All pigs (n = 117) tested MRSA negative before transportation. On arrival at the abattoir, 12/117 (10.3%) pigs in two batches tested MRSA positive. In lorries that tested positive after transportation, the prevalence of MRSA positive pigs was 21.1%, whereas no MRSA was detected in pigs that had been transported in lorries that tested negative after transportation. At stunning, all batches and 70/117 (59.8%) pigs tested MRSA positive. Pigs can become MRSA positive in the short period of time during transportation from the farm to stunning at the abattoir.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine change over time in sero-prevalence of antibodies against Lawsonia intracellularis among growing-finishing pigs housed in indoor versus outdoor facilities. DESIGN: Serologic survey. ANIMALS: 93 pigs born to seropositive gilts and raised in indoor (n = 49) or outdoor (44) growing-finishing facilities. PROCEDURE: Blood samples were collected from the pigs 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 weeks after birth and tested for antibodies against L intracellularis with an indirect immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS: None of the pigs were seropositive 2 or 6 weeks after birth.Ten weeks after birth, 74% and 76% of pigs in indoor and outdoor growing-finishing facilities were seropositive, respectively, whereas 14 weeks after birth, the percentage of pigs in indoor growing-finishing facilities that were seropositive was substantially higher than the percentage of pigs in outdoor facilities that were. From 18 weeks after birth to the end of the study, none of the pigs in outdoor growing-finishing facilities were seropositive, whereas low percentages of pigs in indoor facilities were seropositive 18, 22, and 26 weeks after birth. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that seroprevalence of antibodies against L intracellularis decreases faster among growing-finishing pigs housed in outdoor facilities than among growing-finishing pigs housed in indoor facilities.  相似文献

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the short- and long-term immunity after intranasal vaccination in pigs with maternally derived antibodies (MDA). In two experiments, 10-week-old pigs with moderate MDA titres against Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) were vaccinated intranasally with the Bartha strain of ADV to evaluate the protective immunity conferred at 2 weeks, 2 months and 4 months after vaccination. Protection was evaluated on the basis of severity of clinical signs, periods of fever and growth arrest, and duration and amount of virus excreted after challenge with a virulent ADV. During the first 2-3 weeks after vaccination, antibodies to ADV continued to decline as in unvaccinated control pigs. After that, antibody titres stabilized or gradually increased. At 2 weeks, 2 months and 4 months after vaccination, vaccinated pigs were significantly better protected than unvaccinated controls. The vaccinated pigs challenged 2 weeks after vaccination hardly developed any sign of disease. Mild signs of Aujeszky's disease and a growth arrest period of 5 days were observed in vaccinated pigs challenged 2 months after vaccination, whereas vaccinated pigs challenged 4 months after vaccination developed severe signs of disease and a growth arrest period of 13 days. Vaccinated pigs challenged 2 weeks after vaccination did not excrete challenge virus, and pigs challenged 2 or 4 months after vaccination excreted far less virus than unvaccinated controls. The results demonstrate that intranasal ADV vaccination of pigs with moderate MDA titres protected them from 2 weeks to at least 4 months after vaccination. Immunity steadily declined, however, after vaccination.  相似文献

Sequential changes in the humoral immune response of pigs to pseudorabies virus (PRV) after each of several exposures to the virus were evaluated by determining virus neutralization (VN) and radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) activities of sera collected at selected intervals. Pigs were vaccinated intramuscularly with live attenuated virus (6 pigs), inactivated attenuated virus (6 pigs), or inactivated virulent virus (6 pigs). All pigs were challenged oronasally with virulent virus 3 weeks later and 12 (4 pigs of each vaccine group) were subsequently treated with dexamethasone in an attempt to reactivate latent virus. The relatively low serum titers of VN antibody that were raised by vaccination (titers ranged from 2 to 32) increased markedly (at least 16-fold) for all pigs after exposure to virulent virus. After dexamethasone treatment, the VN titers of 2 pigs increased 16-fold, whereas those of the other 10 dexamethasone-treated pigs and the 6 nontreated pigs either remained the same or increased only minimally (i.e., no more than 2-fold). The results of RIP using 35S-methionine-labeled viral proteins were initially similar to those of VN in that the low levels of serum RIP activity detected after vaccination increased markedly after subsequent exposure to virulent virus. In contrast to VN, however, most pigs (11 of 12) treated with dexamethasone had a clear increase in serum RIP activity. The increase was particularly striking for viral proteins of relatively low (less than 46K) molecular weight. Precipitating activity for 14C-glucosamine-labeled viral glycoproteins was not detected until after pigs were exposed to virulent virus. The increase in RIP activity detected after dexamethasone treatment was likely due to an additional antigenic stimulus associated with virus reactivation. However, virus was isolated from nasal swabs of only 4 of the 12 treated pigs. None of the results appeared to be affected appreciably by the type of vaccine used for initial immunization.  相似文献

Groups of pigs vaccinated with an inactivated bivalent vaccine containing porcine parvovirus (PPV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) developed geometric mean titers (GMT) of humoral antibody for each of the viruses as high or slightly higher than those of other groups of pigs that were vaccinated with inactivated monovalent vaccines containing one or the other of the same viruses. An increase in GMT after challenge exposure of vaccinated pigs to live virus indicated that vaccination did not prevent virus replication. However, an indication that replication was less extensive in vaccinated pigs was provided by the following. Although neither vaccinated nor nonvaccinated (control) pigs had clinical signs after exposure to the live PPV, the effect of vaccination was evident by the fact that GMT were higher in nonvaccinated pigs after exposure than they were in vaccinated pigs. Conversely, all pigs exposed to live PRV had clinical signs, but these signs varied between mild-to-moderate and transient for vaccinated pigs to severe and fatal for nonvaccinated pigs.  相似文献

Financial impact of transmissible gastroenteritis in pigs   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The financial impact of an epizootic of transmissible gastroenteritis in pigs was evaluated in a California sow herd through estimating growth, feed, and profit functions. Two groups of pigs were studied: pigs born before and surviving the epizootic (epizootic [E] pigs), and pigs born after the epizootic (postepizootic [PE] pigs). Short-term profits were maximized at 165 days for both groups of pigs, ranging from $47.14 for female E pigs to $60.32 for male PE pigs. Accordingly, it was concluded that pigs surviving or born shortly after a transmissible gastroenteritis epizootic are profitable to raise, if raised under management conditions similar to those in the study herd.  相似文献

Female guinea pigs were tested to determine whether they could serve as a model of zearalenone (ZEN) toxicosis during early pregnancy, as observed in domestic swine. Only 1 of 4 female guinea pigs that were given 21 mg of ZEN/kg of body weight orally during the first 8 days after mating was pregnant when examined 22 days after mating. Guinea pigs that were given 7 or 14 mg of ZEN/kg had normal fetal development. Serum concentrations of progesterone were less than 12 ng/ml in all guinea pigs 8 and 15 days after mating. Serum concentrations of progesterone were greater than 100 ng/ml in pregnant guinea pigs on day 22, but remained less than 12 ng/ml in nonpregnant guinea pigs. Three of 5 guinea pigs treated with 20 mg of ZEN/kg and only 1 of 4 guinea pigs given 30 mg of ZEN/kg on days 1 to 3 after mating were pregnant 22 days after mating. Female guinea pigs treated with 20 or 30 mg of ZEN/kg on days 4 to 5 or 6 to 8 after mating and female guinea pigs treated with 60 or 90 mg of ZEN/kg on days 4 and 5 after mating had normal pregnancies. Serum concentrations of progesterone were less than 10 ng/ml in all guinea pigs on day 15 and remained low on day 22 only in nonpregnant guinea pigs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The immune response was compared in pigs given inactivated pseudorabies virus (PRV) antigens (with or without adjuvant) or PRV antigens covalently conjugated with a fatty acid (lauric acid) to enhance delayed-type hypersensitivity. The pigs were given 2 inoculations, 14 days apart, and were challenge exposed 28 days after the 1st inoculation. Pibs inoculated with PRV antigens, with or without adjuvant, had significant virus-neutralizing (VN) antibodies before challenge exposure, but the pigs inoculated with lipid-conjugated PRV antigens had no detectable VN antibodies, with the exception of 1 pig. All inoculated pigs were positive by the microimmunodiffusion test at postinoculation day 14 and remained positive throughout the experiment. The inoculated pigs had delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions when skin tested a postinoculation day 25; the pigs inoculated with lipid-conjugated PRV antigens had a more pronounced reaction. Inoculated pigs had mild respiratory signs on the 3rd through the 6th days after challange exposure, with no observable difference in severity between the inoculated groups. The control pigs had acute signs of PRV, and 3 or 4 pigs died 5 to 8 days after challenge exposure. The average VN titers of the different inoculated groups of pigs were nearly equal 2 weeks after challenge exposure. Results indicated that both humoral antibodies and cell-mediated immunity have a role in PRV infections in swine.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of restricted feeding of a starter diet to suckling pigs (creep feeding) in a model of postweaning colibacillosis. The hypothesis that restricted creep feeding primes an intestinal allergic reaction to starter diet ingested after weaning was tested. Twenty-eight suckling pigs were fed a starter diet for 3 h/d on days 7, 8, and 9 after birth (creep-fed). Twenty-six suckling pigs were not fed the diet until 3 weeks of age (not creep-fed), when all pigs were weaned and given the starter diet. One day after weaning, 24 creep-fed and 22 not creep-fed pigs were inoculated with K88+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, and 4 pigs in each group were kept as noninoculated controls. Among inoculated pigs (principals), 10 creep-fed and 12 not creep-fed pigs were found to be genetically resistant to K88+ E coli and remained healthy during the 6-day postinoculation period, as did the noninoculated controls. Eighteen (10 creep-fed and 8 not creep-fed) of the 24 genetically susceptible principals developed diarrhea after inoculation. There were no significant differences in the incidence and severity of diarrhea, amount of body weight loss, and mortality between creep-fed and not creep-fed susceptible principal pigs. Histologic examination of intestine from control pigs and principals that survived for 6 days after infection did not reveal any substantial morphologic difference between creep-fed and not creep-fed groups. In conclusion, creep feeding was not required for the production of diarrhea in this model. Creep feeding did not induce morphologic changes characteristic of an allergic reaction in the small intestine.  相似文献

Serum titers of virus-neutralizing (VN) antibody were 10 to 16 times higher in neonatal pigs than in young adult pigs, after single oral doses of virulent transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV). To determine the reason for this higher response, sera from neonatal and young adult pigs, 18 to 21 days after exposure to TGEV, were collected and assayed for VN antibody by plaque reduction. In addition, sera of VN-positive and VN-negative neonatal pigs were analyzed for immunoglobulin classes by radial immunodiffusion technique.The competence of neonatal pigs to produce VN antibody with increased IgG levels was demonstrated. The higher antibody response seen in neonatal pigs, when compared to sera of young adult pigs, may be attributed to the increased replication of TGEV in the intestinal tracts of neonatal pigs or to the lack of other immunogens that may interfere or compete with the production of specific antibody.  相似文献

Immunologic reactions of pigs regrouped at or near weaning   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Using 64 pigs, 2 experiments (32 pigs each) were conducted to evaluate the effects of regrouping nonlittermate pigs at weaning or 2 weeks after weaning on mitogen-induced lymphocyte blastogenesis, intradermal reactions to phytohemagglutinin, and primary antibody responses to sheep erythrocytes. Plasma cortisol concentrations were determined in all pigs and behavior of regrouped pigs was monitored. Compared with control values, plasma cortisol concentrations were higher in nonlittermate pigs regrouped at weaning (P less than 0.001) or 2 weeks after weaning (P less than 0.01). However, regrouping pigs at weaning or 2 weeks after weaning did not influence lymphocyte blastogenesis, phytohemagglutinin skin-test responses, or antibody titers to sheep erythrocytes. Plasma cortisol concentrations were not related to agonistic behavior in regrouped pigs or to lymphocyte blastogenic or phytohemagglutinin skin-test responses; however, higher plasma cortisol concentrations were related (P less than 0.05) to lower sheep erythrocyte antibody titers. These data indicate that regrouping nonlittermate pigs at weaning or 2 weeks after weaning is an acute stressor that does not detrimentally affect mitogen-induced lymphocyte blastogenesis, intradermal reactions to phytohemagglutinin, or primary antibody responses to sheep erythrocytes.  相似文献

The efficacy of detecting toxigenic Pasteurella multocida from nasal swabs of slaughtered and live pigs was assessed. The isolation of toxigenic P multocida from nasal cavities of slaughtered bacon pigs from two herds with atrophic rhinitis was reduced by immersion in the hot water tank by 25 per cent and 75 per cent. Individual sows from one of the infected herds were repeatedly swabbed to find the best method of isolating toxigenic P multocida. Toxigenic P multocida were isolated from 50 per cent of cotton swabs inoculated on to selective medium the same day. After 24 hours in the post, 45 per cent of cotton swabs placed in transport medium, 38 per cent of alginate swabs dissolved in transport medium and inoculated into mice, and 36 per cent of the dissolved swabs inoculated directly on to selective medium yielded toxigenic P multocida. These bacteria were isolated from only 25 per cent of cotton swabs held in transport medium at 10 degrees C for 48 hours to simulate prolonged postage times; from slaughtered pigs a similar reduction in isolation was seen with swabs kept for 24 or 48 hours. The reduced isolation caused by a delay before culture was associated with an overgrowth of other flora. The development of this flora was prevented by storage of swabs at 4 degrees C in the laboratory or by the use of cool boxes for postage.  相似文献

The RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii is highly virulent; 1 infective organism is uniformly lethal for mice. Three pigs inoculated SC with 10(3) tachyzoites of the RH strain developed fever, but otherwise remained normal, and T gondii was not demonstrated in their tissues by bioassay into mice. To determine whether vaccination with the RH strain could induce protective immunity to oral challenge with T gondii oocysts, 12 pigs were divided into 3 groups (A, B, C) of 4 pigs each. Pigs in groups A and B were inoculated IM with 10(6) tachyzoites of the RH strain and 4 pigs in group C served as uninoculated controls. Except for fever, the pigs remained clinically normal after inoculation with the RH strain and T gondii was not found by bioassay in mice of tissues from 4 pigs euthanatized 64 days after inoculation. Pigs in groups B and C were challenge-inoculated orally with 10(4) (4 pigs) or 10(5) (4 pigs) T gondii oocysts 72 days after vaccination with the RH strain. The previously uninoculated pigs developed fever, anorexia, and diarrhea from 3 to 8 days after the oocyst challenge. One of the 2 pigs given 10(5) oocysts became moribund because of toxoplasmosis and was euthanatized 9 days after inoculation. Pigs vaccinated with the RH strain remained free of clinical signs after challenge with oocysts. Results of the bioassays indicated that fewer tissue cysts developed in the RH strain-vaccinated pigs than in the previously uninoculated control pigs.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether feeding tylosin, an antimicrobial growth promoter, to pigs was associated with increased risk of infection with and excretion of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium. ANIMALS: 17 healthy pigs. PROCEDURE: A commercial pelleted dry feed was given in 2 feeding trials. In trial A, 11 pigs were given feed with tylosin, 11 pigs were given feed without tylosin, and 11 pigs were given feed with tylosin before and feed without tylosin after inoculation with S Typhimurium. In trial B, 44 pigs were given feed that contained tylosin, and 44 pigs were given feed without tylosin. Three weeks after the start of each trial, pigs were orally inoculated with approximately 5 x 10(6) colony-forming units of S Typhimurium. Feces were examined for S Typhimurium, using semiquantitative microbiologic techniques before and for 5 or 6 weeks after inoculation. Serum antibody titers against S enterica were measured by use of ELISA. RESULTS: None of the pigs developed clinical signs of salmonellosis. However, after inoculation, S Typhimurium was isolated from feces of most pigs, and all but 2 pigs developed serum antibodies against S enterica. Significant differences were not detected between experimental and control groups in either trial. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicate that tylosin fed as an antimicrobial growth promoter to pigs may not be an important factor in promoting infection with or excretion of S enterica serotype Typhimurium.  相似文献

Acute toxicosis developed in a group (n = 35) of fattening hogs and replacement gilts that had excessive vitamin D3 inadvertently added to their feed. All of the pigs were lethargic, and emesis was evident in about half of the pigs 1 to 2 days after they consumed the feed. On the 2nd day, 3 of the pigs died. The remaining pigs were given a different ration. Five additional pigs died during the next 2 weeks. Clinical toxicosis also was observed in 1 of 2 feeder pigs fed the suspect feed in the laboratory and in 2 of 2 pigs fed the suspect feed by the company that had mixed the feed. Gross necropsy findings consistently observed were hemorrhagic gastritis and diffuse interstitial pneumonia. Myocardial degeneration and nephrosis were seen in, respectively, 1 of 6 and 4 of 6 pigs necropsied. Histologically, necrosis and mineralization of variable severity were observed in the fundic gastric mucosa, lungs, kidneys, bone, heart, and small blood vessels of the lungs and heart. Less necrosis and more mineralization were observed in pigs that survived longer than 6 days. The 2 pigs fed the suspect feed in the laboratory had increased concentrations of serum calcium from the 3rd to the 9th days or the 1st to the 3rd days, after feeding the suspect feed. Serum phosphorus concentrations were increased from the 1st until the 2nd or 3rd day, and serum magnesium concentrations were increased from the 1st or 2nd to the 3rd day after feeding the suspect feed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Twenty-eight 10-week-old pigs were inoculated intratracheally with 1 x 10(5) colour-changing units/ml Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strain 232, and another 32 pigs were not inoculated but were divided into 12 direct-contact pigs and 20 indirect-contact pigs. Thirty-five days later, the inoculated pigs were inoculated intranasally with 1 x 10(2.4) tcid50 of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain mn 30-100. Viraemia, seroconversion and the transmission of PRRSV in the M hyopneumoniae-infected pigs were then assessed for four months. Three groups of 10 age-matched gilts were introduced as sentinels into the experimental barn on days 28, 56 and 84 after the PRRSV infection. The persistence of PRRSV was evaluated in both the experimentally and naturally infected pigs, which were slaughtered 120, 135 and 150 days after the infection. The period of viraemia and the extent of seroconversion were similar to those observed in studies of pigs infected only with PRRSV, suggesting that under the conditions of the study M hyopneumoniae did not affect these features of the disease. A delayed pattern in the seroconversion and proportion of pcr-positive pigs was observed in the direct and indirect contact groups, and the persistence of PRRSV in tissues was confirmed by pcr at 120 and 150 days after infection only in the directly inoculated pigs and not in the direct- or indirect-contact groups of pigs.  相似文献
