Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious disease among swine that has an important economic impact on worldwide. One clinical symptom of CSF is leukopenia, in particular lymphopenia, which is a characteristic event that occurs early in the course of CSF. Though lymphopenia associated with apoptosis, the pathogenic mechanism underlying the lymphopenia has not been well studied. To understand these mechanisms, we investigated the response of porcine B cell lines to infection with SW03, virulent strain isolated from swine tissue in Korea. This study demonstrated that SW03-infected L35 cell were induced apoptosis through the detection of activated caspase-3. In addition, SW03 infection leaded to alterations in pro-apoptotic, Bax, and anti-apoptotic, Bcl-xL proteins of Bcl-2 family. Our results would suggest that SW03-infected L35 cells induced apoptosis via intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.

A Total of 703 swine sera from 55 swine farrns (Mar. 1998 through Feb. 2001) were nation-wide collected for the presence of the antibody to influenza A virus H3 subtype isolate. The presence of antibody was tested by hernagglutination inhibition with chicken red blood cells and seropositiveness was determined by HI titer ${\geq}1$: 40. Sero-prevalence was evaluated based on year, season, region and age, respectively. In consequence, there were seme differences by year, season and region, respectively. High susceptibility was routinely observed in 60 and 90 day-old piglets. Therefore, it seems that the sero-prevalence to swine influenza virus H3 subtype isolate is useful for the prevention and control of swine influenza in Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of group-housing facility (GHF), compared to an individual confinement stall (CON), on the reproductive performance, behavior, and stress hormones of gestating sows. A total of 50 primiparous sows (Landrace × Yorkshire) were randomly allocated into either CON (n = 25) or GHF (n = 25) during the gestation period. One week before parturition, the sows were transferred into conventional farrowing crates, and cross-fostering was conducted within 1 d of delivery. Blood was collected for analyses of stress indices at 75 d of gestation and postpartum. Reproductive performance was estimated during the period of birth to weaning. Behavior patterns were identified at 90 d of gestation. Litter size was not different between the CON and GHF treatments. Weaning to estrus interval, however, tended to be lower in the GHF than in the CON (p < 0.1). Activity, treating, belly nosing, and exploring behaviors were observed only in the GHF group, whereas rubbing was shown only with the CON. Serum cortisol concentration was lower in the GHF than in the CON at 75 d of gestation (p < 0.05). Sows housed in the GHF showed lower epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations than those housed in the CON at postpartum (p < 0.05). The GHF sows demonstrated more natural behavior characteristics associated with stress relief than the CON sows with no adverse effects on reproductive performance. Therefore, these results suggest that GHF could be applied as an alternative housing facility to improve animal welfare on swine farms.

The aim of this survey was to investigate the characteristics of outbreak farm determined as the classical swine fever(CSF) at Gangwha-gun and Seo-gu, Incheon metropolitan area from October 7 to November 25 in 2002. Sixty pigs in six different farms were confirmed to the CSF and a total of 9,106 pigs containing 3,194 related epidemiologically was slaughtered to stop spreading of the disease. Clinical signs of pigs diagnosed with the CSF were high fever, anorexia, depression, paralysis of hindlimbs, cyanosis, etc and gross lesions were typically represented with hemorrhage of submandibular and superficial lymph node, infarction of spleen, and petechial (ecchymotic) hemorrhage of kidney and skin. But some outbreak farms had not shown remarkable symptoms, so they were confused with other bacterial diseases. White blood cell (WBC) counts, the classical swine fever virus(CSFV) antigen and antibody enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results about six farms indicated that total 60 pigs were infected with the CSFV. Although the origin and infection route of the CSFV were not clear, but the transmissions between farms were mainly through indirect contact such as the movement of farm personal and vehicles from outbreak farm.

Toxoplasma gondii (Tp), RH strain, was inoculated into cultured buffy coat cells obtained from the swine blood. The main reason for adopting swine lies in the animal's unusual susceptibility to Tp, As for the culture method used in the experiment, those well proved methods practised by Cho, Merchant, Moore and Tarnvik were mainly referred to as a starting point: hence, the author's method has been turned out to be the modified or supplementary form of those methods. Observations were made on the phase of multiplication of Tp in the cytoplasm. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Better growth and multiplication of Toxoplasma gondii were noticeably observed in the swine buffy coat cell, inoculated after three-to-five day cultivation of the cell. 2. In the lapse of the observation period, there appeard Toxoplasma gondii rarely available in the earlier stage, which had been inoculated into the cell after three-to-five day cultivation. In other words, Toxoplasma gondii started to show itself in seven or eight hours after inoculation, most outstandingly noticeable between twenty four hours and forty eight hours. Thereafter the disintegration stage of Toxoplasma gondii was observed.
