Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is now endemic in every major pig producing country, causing PCV-associated disease (PCVAD), linked with large scale economic losses. Current vaccination strategies are based on the capsid protein of the virus and are...

Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface (2015)
Journal Article
Wiethoelter, A. K., Beltran-Alcrudo, D., Kock, R. A., & Mor, S. M. (2015). Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1422741112

The role and significance of wildlife–livestock interfaces in disease ecology has largely been neglected, despite recent interest in animals as origins of emerging diseases in humans. Scoping review methods were applied to objectively assess the rela... Read More about Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface.

Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review (2015)
Journal Article
Vergne, T., Del Rio Vilas, V. J., Cameron, A., Dufour, B., & Grosbois, V. (2015). Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 120(3-4), 253-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2015.04.003

In disease surveillance, capture–recapture approaches have been used to estimate the frequency of endemic diseases monitored by imperfect surveillance systems. A standard output of these techniques is an estimate of the sensitivity of the surveillanc... Read More about Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review.

Exposure to environmental stressors result in increased viral load and further reduction of production parameters in pigs experimentally infected with PCV2b (2015)
Journal Article
Patterson, R., Nevel, M., Diaz, A. V., Martineau, H. M., Demmers, T. G. M., Browne, C., …Werling, D. (2015). Exposure to environmental stressors result in increased viral load and further reduction of production parameters in pigs experimentally infected with PCV2b. Veterinary Microbiology, 177(3-4), 261-269. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2015.03.010

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has been identified as the essential, but not sole, underlying infectious component for PCV-associated diseases (PCVAD). Several co-factors have been suggested to convert an infection with PCV2 into the clinical signs...

Enhanced neutralising antibody response to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) induced by DNA vaccination in calves (2015)
Journal Article
El-Attar, L. M. R., Thomas, C., Luke, J., Williams, J. A., & Brownlie, J. (2015). Enhanced neutralising antibody response to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) induced by DNA vaccination in calves. Vaccine, 33(32), 4004-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.06.017

DNA vaccination is effective in inducing potent immunity in mice; however it appears to be less so in large animals. Increasing the dose of DNA plasmid to activate innate immunity has been shown to improve DNA vaccine adaptive immunity. Retinoic acid...
