Leptospira spp. and its implication in reproductive disorders. What to consider when choosing a reproductive vaccine
On this podcast Ed Metzger, a Canadian veterinarian will share with us the epidemiological situation in Canada for Leptospira spp., his experience with this pathogen and the reproductive vaccination trends. Apart from that, he will give his opinion about the main reproductive indicators for farm efficiency.
-
Leptospira spp., what you need to know about its diagnosis and interpretation
On this episode, Gema Chacón sheds some light on the diagnosis and interpretation of Leptospira spp. The diagnosis of this pathogen has commonly been done by the MAT, an indirect technique that only shows contact with the bacterium. In recent years, new direct diagnostic tools such as the qPCR have become available even the sequencing of the implied serovar in case of positive cases. Gemma speaks about when to use each method, consider the complicated epidemiology of this bacterium, and how to interpretate the different results obtained.

Porcine Parvovirus, the experience and advice from a vet practitioner
On this episode, Sjouke Van Poucke reminds us of the importance of this old and, sometimes forgotten pathogen, Porcine Parvovirus. She reviews when it should be included in our differential diagnosis, which reproductive indicators can be altered by a Parvo-related problem, how to evaluate the herd susceptibility and other aspects such as the diagnosis.
-
Porcine Parvovirus, can we low our guard?
On this podcast, Hans Nauwynck, a renowned virologist reviews the main insights of Porcine Parvovirus. Understanding the pathogenesis, the key points for its control and how to perform the diagnosis will provide you with a much-needed update, because Porcine Parvovirus is still definitely out there.
