Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is a recently identified RNA virus within the Flaviviridae family, causing congenital tremor (CT) in the piglets of infected sows. We have investigated 25 cases of CT from 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2016-2018, originating from six different farms. RT-PCR has been performed on these samples and all of the affected piglets were positive to APPV. Our phylogenetic analysis showed that Hungarian strains show a high degree of variability and are clustered into five distinct lineages. Four strains originating from one farm have shown exceptional similarity (99.9%) to an Austrian sequence, whereas another one from a different herd was grouped close to a Chinese strain (96.4% similarity). Our results suggest multiple events of introduction of the virus from various sources into Hungary. This is the first report of the presence and clinical relevance of APPV in the Hungarian pig population.

Congenital tremor (CT) caused by atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is a widespread disease in the swine industry. It is characterized by tremors in newborn piglets, but tremor description and association to other clinical signs are not well documented. This study's objectives were to characterize general and neurological clinical signs of APPV-induced CT and describe the progression and associations between the different signs.

Upon host cell infection, viruses modulate their host cells to better suit their needs, including the downregulation of virus entry receptors. ADAM17, a cell surface sheddase, is an essential factor for infection of bovine cells with several pestiviruses. To assess the effect of pestivirus infection on ADAM17, the amounts of cellular ADAM17 and its presence at the cell surface were determined.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Several atypical antipsychotic medications, including paliperidone (PPD), has been developed and proven effective in treating it. To date, four PPD extended-release products have been launched commercially, providing up to six months of therapeutic effect with a single administration.

Article Synopsis
- * Three piglets, aged 20-35 days old, were examined post-mortem after showing signs of neurological disease, leading to the identification of significant damage in the grey matter of their spinal cords and brainstems.
- * This marks the first documented case of PAstV3 in piglets with neurological disorders in Brazil, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of health issues that could affect pig farming efficiency and animal welfare.

Article Synopsis
- Differences of sex development (DSD) in pigs, particularly XX DSD pigs, lead to atypical reproductive organ formation and significant economic losses in farming due to their underdeveloped gonads.
- * Anatomical analyses and whole-genome sequencing identified specific genetic mutations associated with XX DSD pigs, including notable SNPs in genes like IFITM1 and NOBOX.
- * The study's findings suggest that understanding these genetic changes can help explain the underlying causes of DSD in pigs and potentially aid in developing better breeding strategies.
