Respiratory disease in weaned pigs is a common problem in the field, with a complex aetiology of both viruses and bacteria. In the present study, we investigated the presence of eleven viruses in nasal swabs collected from nurseries (fifty-five clinical outbreaks) under the suspicion of swine influenza A virus (swIAV) by cough and fever. The other ten viruses included influenza B (IBV) and influenza D viruses (IDV), Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV), Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV), porcine circoviruses 2 (PCV2), 3 (PCV3) and 4 (PCV), Porcine parainfluenza 1 virus (PPIV1) and Swine orthopneumovirus (SOV). Twenty-nine swIAV-positive cases and twenty-six cases of swIAV-negative respiratory disease were primarily established. IBV, IBD, PCV4 and PPIV1 were not found in any case, while PRCV, SOV, and PCMV were more likely to be found in swIAV-positive nurseries with respiratory disease ( p<0.05) although, globally, PCV3, PRRSV, and PCMV were the most frequently detected agents on herd level. At an individual level, the prevalence of different viruses was: swIAV 48.6%; PRCV 48.0%; PRRSV 31.6%; SOV 33.8%; PCMV 48.3%, PCV2 36.0%; and PCV3 33.0%. Beyond that, it was common to find animals with low Ct values (< 30) for all agents except for PCV2 and PCV3. When analysed the association between different pathogens, PRCV was the one with the most associations. It positively interacted ( p < 0.05) with swIAV and SOV but was negatively associated ( p < 0.05) with PRRSV and PCVM. Besides these, swIAV and PRRSV were negatively related (p < 0.05). Further analysis of suckling pigs showed that circulation of PRCV, PCMV, SOV, and PCV3 started in the maternities, suggesting a role of the sows in the transmission. Overall, our data may contribute to a better understanding of the complex aetiology and the epidemiology of respiratory disease in weaners. This is the first report of SOV in Spain.

AbstractSwine influenza is an important contagious disease in pigs caused by influenza A viruses. Although only three subtypes of influenza A viruses, H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2, predominantly infect pigs worldwide, it is still a big challenge for vaccine manufacturers to produce efficacious vaccines for the prevention and control of swine influenza. Swine influenza viruses not only cause significant economic losses for the swine industry, but are also important zoonotic pathogens. Vaccination is still one of the most important and effective strategies to prevent and control influenza for both the animal and human population. In this review, we will discuss the current status of swine influenza worldwide as well as current and future options to control this economically important swine disease.

AbstractSwine influenza is an important disease for the swine industry. Currently used whole inactivated virus (WIV) vaccines can induce vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease (VAERD) in pigs when the vaccine strains mismatch with the infected viruses. Live attenuated influenza virus vaccine (LAIV) is effective to protect pigs against homologous and heterologous swine influenza virus infections without inducing VAERD, but has safety concerns due to potential reassortment with circulating viruses. Herein, we used a chimeric bat influenza Bat09:mH3mN2 virus, which contains both surface HA and NA gene open reading frames of the A/swine/Texas/4199-2/1998 (H3N2) and six internal genes from the novel bat H17N10 virus, to develop modified live-attenuated viruses (MLVs) as vaccine candidates which cannot reassort with canonical influenza A viruses by co-infection. Two attenuated MLV vaccine candidates including the virus that expresses a truncated NS1 (Bat09:mH3mN2-NS1-128, MLV1) or expresses both a truncated NS1 and the swine IL-18 (Bat09:mH3mN2-NS1-128-IL-18, MLV2) were generated and evaluated in pigs against a heterologous H3N2 virus using the WIV vaccineb as a control. Compared to the WIV vaccine, both MLV vaccines were able to reduce lesions and virus replication in lungs and limit nasal virus shedding without VAERD, also induced significantly higher levels of mucosal IgA response in lungs and significantly increased numbers of antigen-specific IFN-γ secreting cells against the challenge virus. However, no significant difference was observed in efficacy between the MLV1 and MLV2. These results indicate that bat influenza vectored MLV vaccines can be used as a safe live vaccine to prevent swine influenza.
