Traditional Chinese medicine as a promising choice for future control of PEDV.

Virus research
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the major agent of the recent outbreaks of diarrhea in piglets, which has caused huge economic losses to the global swine industry. Since traditional vaccine strategies cannot provide complete protection for ...

Development of deep learning-based mobile application for the identification of Coccidia species in pigs using microscopic images.

Veterinary parasitology
Coccidiosis is a gastrointestinal parasitic disease caused by different species of Eimeria and Isospora, poses a significant threat to pig farming, leading to substantial economic losses attributed to reduced growth rates, poor feed conversion, incre...

Utilizing machine learning and hemagglutinin sequences to identify likely hosts of influenza H3Nx viruses.

Preventive veterinary medicine
Influenza is a disease that represents both a public health and agricultural risk with pandemic potential. Among the subtypes of influenza A virus, H3 influenza virus can infect many avian and mammalian species and is therefore a virus of interest to...

Development of a pig wean-quality score using machine-learning algorithms to characterize and classify groups with high mortality risk under field conditions.

Preventive veterinary medicine
Mortality during the post-weaning phase is a critical indicator of swine production system performance, influenced by a complex interaction of multiple factors of the epidemiological triad. This study leveraged retrospective data from 1723 groups of ...

A Fluorescent Immunochromatography Test Strip for the Rapid Identification of SVV and FMDV.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
Seneca Valley virus (SVV) and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) belong to the Picornaviridae family, which can cause similar symptoms. After infection, pigs will develop fever; loss of appetite; blister lesions on the skin and mucous membrane of th...

Deep learning pose detection model for sow locomotion.

Scientific reports
Lameness affects animal mobility, causing pain and discomfort. Lameness in early stages often goes undetected due to a lack of observation, precision, and reliability. Automated and non-invasive systems offer precision and detection ease and may impr...

Risk Assessment of the Possible Intermediate Host Role of Pigs for Coronaviruses with a Deep Learning Predictor.

Viruses
Swine coronaviruses (CoVs) have been found to cause infection in humans, suggesting that Suiformes might be potential intermediate hosts in CoV transmission from their natural hosts to humans. The present study aims to establish convolutional neural ...

Machine Learning Prediction and Experimental Validation of Antigenic Drift in H3 Influenza A Viruses in Swine.

mSphere
The antigenic diversity of influenza A viruses (IAV) circulating in swine challenges the development of effective vaccines, increasing zoonotic threat and pandemic potential. High-throughput sequencing technologies can quantify IAV genetic diversity,...

Scoring pleurisy in slaughtered pigs using convolutional neural networks.

Veterinary research
Diseases of the respiratory system are known to negatively impact the profitability of the pig industry, worldwide. Considering the relatively short lifespan of pigs, lesions can be still evident at slaughter, where they can be usefully recorded and ...

Deep learning for supervised classification of spatial epidemics.

Spatial and spatio-temporal epidemiology
In an emerging epidemic, public health officials must move quickly to contain the spread. Information obtained from statistical disease transmission models often informs the development of containment strategies. Inference procedures such as Bayesian...
