mathematical modeling of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus dynamics within a farrow-to-finish swine farm to investigate the effects of control measures.porcine epidemic diarrhea (ped) is a highly contagious enteric disease in swine that can cause devastating economic damage to pig producers. japan was severely affected by ped epidemics from 2013 through 2015, with over 1000 farms were affected during this period. although many studies have unraveled pathological and molecular characteristics of ped virus (pedv), the mechanism for within-farm spread is largely unknown. here, we constructed a deterministic compartmental model to quantitatively de ...201829290292
identification of two antiviral inhibitors targeting 3c-like serine/3c-like protease of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (pedv) are highly virulent and contagious porcine pathogens that cause tremendous economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. currently, there is no effective treatment for prrsv and pedv, and commercial vaccines do not induce sterilizing immunity. in this study, we screened a library of 1000 compounds and identified two specific inhibitors, designated compounds 2 and 3, which target the prrsv 3c ...201829291994
vaccination of sows with a dendritic cell-targeted porcine epidemic diarrhea virus s1 protein-based candidate vaccine reduced viral shedding but exacerbated gross pathological lesions in suckling neonatal piglets.porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (pedv) poses a serious threat to swine worldwide as evidenced by its recent introduction into the usa and the devastating economic impact it caused to the usa swine industry. commercial vaccines against pedv are available but their efficacies are inadequate. therefore, vaccines with improved efficacy are needed to effectively control pedv infections. we previously determined the immunogenicity of a novel dendritic cell (dc)-targeted pedv s1 protein-based subunit v ...201829300158
dietary probiotic compound improves reproductive performance of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus-infected sows reared in a japanese commercial swine farm under vaccine control condition.lactogenic immunity transferred to piglets after inoculation of a live vaccine to pregnant sows was proved limited to control porcine epidemic diarrhea (ped). hence, here we evaluated the efficacy of administration of a probiotic compound containingbacillus mesentericus, clostridium butyricum, andenterococcus faecalistogether with a commercial live-attenuated ped vaccine (nisseiken ped live vaccine, nisseiken, tokyo, japan) to improve the health and reproductive performance of ped-infected sows. ...201729312349
