MANHATTAN — The usual suspects are not to blame for recent cases of respiratory disease in domestic pigs. Researchers in the 1xbet sports betting Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory have successfully published the first formal identification and characterization of porcine parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting 1 from U.S. pigs, which had previously only been detected in Asia.
Benjamin Hause, an assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and Rachel Palinski, doctoral student in diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, worked with a team of scientists that published its findings in the Nov. 17, 2015, issue of the Journal of General Virology in the article "Widespread detection and characterization of porcine parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting 1 in pigs in the United States."
"The Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory received diagnostic samples from pigs that showed signs of acute respiratory disease, sent to us from multiple states," Hause said. "The common agents are usually influenza or porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome 1xbet sports betting ; however, these samples were negative for both of these viruses. To identify other possible viruses present in the samples, we utilized advanced DNA sequencing methods, and the common finding was porcine parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting 1. It's the first formal identification of this relatively newly described 1xbet sports betting in the U.S. We were also surprised to find there is considerable genetic variability for porcine parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting 1 between the different samples. They're not all identical viruses. There are mutants and probably different subtypes in the U.S., so there is genetic variation no one knew about before."
Hause said the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory developed PCR — polymerase chain reaction — tests and diagnostic assays specifically for this parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting .
"We screened 300 random samples, including nasal swabs, lung tissue or oral fluids, and found that 6 percent tested positive for the parainfluenza 1xbet sports betting ," Hause said. "We were also able show that the 1xbet sports betting replicates in the upper respiratory tract. We then developed a serology assay to look for antibodies to see how common it is for pigs to have been exposed to this, and about 50-60 percent of the samples were positive. This suggests the 1xbet sports betting did not just arrive here or that it is in just one area of the country."
Hause said demand is building for the development of a vaccine.
"Talking to swine veterinarians, this 1xbet sports betting is something that likely causes respiratory disease in pigs," Hause said. "It does not typically cause severe disease, but it's the kind of disease that causes an infected pig to fall behind. A pig will get a mild cold, won't eat as well, wean as fast or take off like its litter mates, so there is likely economic significance with the disease."
