    Abstract Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a picornavirus that produces a highly transmissible vesicular disease that can devastate meat and dairy production to such an extent that FMDV-free countries commit significant economic resources to maintain their FMDV-free status. Senecavirus A (SVA), also a picornavirus, causes vesicular disease in swine that is indistinguishable from FMDV. Since 2015, SVA outbreaks have been reported around the world requiring FMDV-free countries to investigate these cases to rule out FMDV. Understanding the pathogenesis of the SVA and its ability to transmit to naïve populations is critical to formulating control and prevention measures, which could reduce FMDV investigations. The primary objective of this study was to determine the infectious dose of SVA in market weight and neonatal pigs. A 2011 SVA isolate was serially hundred-fold diluted to create four challenge inoculums ranging from 106.5 to 100.5 TCID50/ml. Four market weight pigs individually housed were intranasally inoculated with 5 mL of each dose (n = 16). Serial ten-fold dilutions were used to create 6 challenge inoculums ranging from 105.5 to 100.5 TCID50/ml for neonatal pigs. Again, four animals in individual housing were challenged orally with 2 mL of each dose (n = 24). Detection of SVA by PCR in collected samples and/or neutralizing antibody response was utilized to classify an animal as infected. The minimum infectious dose for this study in market weight animals was 1,260 TCID50/ml (103.1 TCID50/ml) and for neonates it was 316 TCID50/ml (102.5 TCID50/ml). Knowledge of the infectious dose of SVA can guide biosecurity and disinfection measures to control the spread of SVA.

    Abstract Senecavirus A (SVA), commonly known as Seneca Valley virus (SVV) is a causative agent for vesicular disease in swine. It has been found across the globe including the United States, Brazil, and China. Clinical disease caused by this virus is identical to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Since FMDV has the potential to cause severe economic consequences in FMDV-free countries, those countries are on high alert for signs of vesicles in swine and an investigation is performed to rule out the presence of FMDV if observed. In countries where SVA cases have continued to occur, investigations and testing can cause a burden on personnel and resources. The objectives of this study were to test the efficacy of a whole-virus inactivated SVA vaccine against challenge in nursery-aged pigs, mature sows, and to assess the protection of passive maternal immunity generated by immunized dams. Animals were given two doses of the vaccine intramuscularly three weeks apart and challenged intranasally two weeks after the second dose. Non-vaccinated animals challenged with SVA developed clinical signs of disease, replicated virus, and developed a neutralizing antibody response. Vaccinated animals had robust neutralizing titers after two doses; and after challenge, did not develop vesicular disease and had limited rectal shedding. Piglets suckling immunized dams and challenged with SVA at 3-6 days-of-age had neutralizing titers prior to challenge and did not replicate or shed virus. An efficacious vaccine could improve swine welfare and reduce the economic consequences of continued foreign animal disease investigations.

    Abstract Senecavirus A (SVA) is a causative agent for vesicular disease in swine, which is clinically indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases of swine including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Recently, it was reported that buffalo in Guangdong, China were experiencing clinical symptoms similar to FMD including mouth ulcers and lameness tested positive for SVA.

    Abstract Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (SEZ) is a zoonotic pathogen capable of causing severe disease in many mammalian species. Historically, SEZ has not been a common cause of disease in pigs in North America; however, in 2019, SEZ caused mortality events leading to severe illness and 30–50% mortality in exposed animal groups. Because of the rapid progression of disease, it is important to investigate intervention strategies to prevent disease development. In this study, pigs were divided into four groups: (1) vaccinated with an inactivated SEZ vaccine generated from a highly mucoid 2019 mortality event isolate; (2) vaccinated with an inactivated SEZ vaccine generated from a genetically similar, non-mucoid isolate from a guinea pig; (3) and (4) sham vaccinated. Following boost vaccination, groups 1–3 were challenged with a 2019 mortality event isolate and group 4 were non-challenged controls. Antibody titers were higher for SEZ vaccinated animals than sham vaccinated animals; however, no anamnestic response was observed, and titers were lower than typically seen following the use of inactivated vaccines. Vaccination did not provide protection from disease development or mortality following challenge, which could be associated with the comparatively low antibody titers generated by vaccination. Surviving pigs also remained colonized and transmitted SEZ to naïve contact pigs 3 weeks following challenge, indicating that healthy animals can act as a source of SEZ exposure. Future investigation should evaluate different vaccine formulations, such as increased antigen load or an alternative adjuvant, that could induce a more robust adaptive immune response.

    Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses have potential to cross species barriers and cause pandemics. Since 2022, HPAI A(H5N1) belonging to the goose/Guangdong 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin phylogenetic clade have infected poultry, wild birds, and mammals across North America. Continued circulation in birds and infection of multiple mammalian species with strains possessing adaptation mutations increase the risk for infection and subsequent reassortment with influenza A viruses endemic in swine. We assessed the susceptibility of swine to avian and mammalian HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strains using a pathogenesis and transmission model. All strains replicated in the lung of pigs and caused lesions consistent with influenza A infection. However, viral replication in the nasal cavity and transmission was only observed with mammalian isolates. Mammalian adaptation and reassortment may increase the risk for incursion and transmission of HPAI viruses in feral, backyard, or commercial swine.

    Abstract Pork has become the number one meat consumed worldwide. Meeting the demand for pork has forced the revolution of swine production from traditional husbandry practices that involved a few pigs or small herds to intensive concentration of swine raised in multisite production systems. This dramatic change has made the production of pork very efficient, but it has also changed the ecology of many swine diseases, may encourage the emergence of new diseases, and amplifies the economic impact of swine diseases. Sustained treatment of diseases in livestock production is not feasible making prevention of disease a priority. Prevention of livestock diseases involves eliminating exposure to pathogens and anti-viral strategies to prevent or reduce clinical disease. For some swine diseases, efficacious vaccines can be made, however, for other diseases the host/pathogen relationship is more complex and efficacious vaccines are not available. Given the increasing demand for pork, the development of new approaches to improve swine anti-viral immunity is critical. Rate-limiting steps to improving vaccines are understanding how the pathogen interacts with the host's immune system, any immunopathology resulting from such interactions and how the host's immune system resolves the infection. Solving this puzzle will require sustained research and may require new technologies to battle contemporary diseases now wreaking havoc in swine production systems around the world. This Special Issue will focus on current swine viral diseases that are the most challenging to the global production of pork with contributions focusing on anti-viral immunity.
