      De Conti, Elisa Rigo; Takeuti, Karine Ludwig; Schwertz, Claiton Ismael; Bianchi, Ronaldo Michel; Driemeier, David; Barcellos, David Emilio Santos Neves de (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      A high prevalence of pneumonic lesions has been reported to affect slaughtered pigs in southern Brazil. In order to identify which microorganisms have been causing those lesions, 30 pig lungs presenting pneumonic gross ...
    • Bacterial pneumonia in captive wild boars in Southern Brazil : etiological and pathological causes 

      Biondo, Natalha; Takeuti, Karine Ludwig; Montes, Julia Helena; Almeida, Laura Lopes de; Andrade, Caroline Pinto de; Zlotowski, Priscila; Driemeier, David; Barcellos, David Emilio Santos Neves de (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: Respiratory diseases are one of the major health issues described in intensive pig production, causing important economic losses. However, there is little information on the prevalence, etiology and ...
    • Effect of parity segregation on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection dynamics and pneumonic lesions in pigs 

      Forner, Ricardo Augusto Neves; Takeuti, Karine Ludwig; De Conti, Elisa Rigo; Santi, Mônica; Bortolozzo, Fernando Pandolfo; Barcellos, David Emilio Santos Neves de (2022) [Artigo de periódico]
      Gilts represent a group risk for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vertical transmission in swine herds. Therefore, parity segregation can be an alternative to control M. hyopneumoniae infections. The study evaluated the effect of ...
    • Global analysis of sRNA target genes in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 

      Fritsch, Tiago Ebert; Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Schrank, Irene Silveira (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are noncoding molecules that regulate different cellular activities in several bacteria. The role of sRNAs in gene expression regulation is poorly characterized in the etiological agent of ...
    • Microbiome overview in swine lungs 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Wohlfeil, Esteban Pérez; Carvalho, Fabíola Marques de; Trelles, Oswaldo; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiologic agent of swine enzootic pneumonia. However other mycoplasma species and secondary bacteria are found as inhabitants of the swine respiratory tract, which can be also related to ...
    • Nested-PCR for the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in bronchial alveolar swabs, frozen tissues and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded swine lung samples: Comparative evaluation with immunohistochemical findings and histological features 

      Almeida, Paula Rodrigues de; Andrade, Caroline Pinto de; Almeida, Laura Lopes de; Oliveira, Luis G.S. de; Castro, Luiza Amaral de; Zlotowski, Priscila; Silva, Sergio Ceroni da; Driemeier, David (2012) [Artigo de periódico]
      The diagnosis of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection is often performed through histopathology, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or a combination of these techniques. PCR can be performed on ...
    • Pericardite em suínos ao abate no Rio Grande Sul: avaliação de agentes bacterianos e lesões associadas 

      Coelho, Carolini Fraga; Zlotowski, Priscila; Andrade, Caroline Pinto de; Borowski, Sandra Maria; Gaggini, Thais Schwarz; Almeida, Laura Lopes de; Driemeier, David; Barcellos, David Emilio Santos Neves de (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a frequência de lesões macroscópicas e microscópicas e dos agentes bacterianos envolvidos em pericardites em suínos no abate no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. As amostras foram ...
    • Unravelling the transcriptome profile of the swine respiratory tract mycoplasmas 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Gerber, Alexandra Lehmkuhl; Guedes, Rafael Lucas Muniz; Almeida, Luiz Gonzaga Paula de; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      The swine respiratory ciliary epithelium is mainly colonized by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma flocculare and Mycoplasma hyorhinis. While colonization by M. flocculare is virtually asymptomatic, M. hyopneumoniae and ...
