Methods: Medical records and brain MRI of 13 genetically confirmed VWM patients were reviewed. Epidemiological data such as age at symptom onset, gender and main symptoms were analyzed, along with genetic mutations and MRI characteristics, such as the distribution of white matter lesions and atrophy.
This study was designed to characterize the dynamics of infection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in naïve replacement gilts after introduction to positive systems. Ninety-eight naïve gilts were monitored in three positive commercial farms (A, B, and C). The näive gilts were housed for 21 days in pens adjacently located to older gilt cohorts (named seeders), which have been naturally exposed to the positive farms.
