Lawsonia intracellularis is among the most important enteric pathogens of swine and has been shown to be a risk factor for increased Salmonella enterica shedding. S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, in addition to being a significant pathogen of swine, also remains one of the most common causes of foodborne illness worldwide. Inflammation and the expression of IL8 and TNFα are an important process in the establishment of S. Typhimurium infection. Yet the effect of L. intracellularis on the expression of these cytokines by enterocytes, the niche both pathogens occupy during infection, is poorly understood. In this study we compared cytokine gene expression between singly and dually infected IPEC-J2 cells, a non-transformed porcine enterocyte cell line. Our results show that L. intracellularis leads to increased expression of IL8 and TNFα and has an additive effect on their expression in co-infection. The increase in expression of inflammatory cytokines may be one mechanism by which L. intracellularis favors S. Typhimurium infection.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how the occurrence of different infectious agents in foals with diarrhea varies by age, using fecal samples sent for testing over two years.
- Results showed that 42.9% of samples tested positive for pathogens, with Rotavirus A being the most common, particularly among foals younger than one month, where it was frequently found alongside other toxins.
- The findings affirm age dependency in pathogen occurrence but suggest that infections can happen outside the expected age range; therefore, a comprehensive diagnostic approach for diarrheic foals should be used to identify all possible pathogens and prevent further spread.

Vaccination is a strategy in pig farming for the control of several pathogens, but commercial vaccines may have detrimental side effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of commercial vaccines on the control of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), (Mhp), and (. ) and their potential side effects on welfare, behavior, acute inflammation biomarkers (C-reactive protein and haptoglobin), and the performance of piglets during the nursery phase.

Twenty-eight mixed-parity sows (Line 241; DNA) and their offspring were used to evaluate live yeast supplementation during lactation with or without a pre/probiotic combination during the nursery period on lactation performance, lifetime growth performance, and immune response. On day 110 of gestation, sows were allotted to a lactation diet with or without a live yeast probiotic (0.10% Actisaf Sc 47 HR+; Phileo by Lesaffre, Milwaukee, WI).

Background: Lawsonia intracellularis is the causative agent of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE), one of the most prevalent pig enteric diseases worldwide, but with sparse information about early infections in suckling piglets in the epidemiology of PPE. With that aim, this study evaluates the prevalence of L. intracellularis in 3-week-old piglets by analysing ileal digesta content and mucosal scrapings from 383 pigs from 16 farms (aprox.
