Whole-slide imaging, tissue image analysis, and artificial intelligence in veterinary pathology: An updated introduction and review

Aleksandra Zuraw et al.

Summary: Digital pathology has become an expanding aspect of the pathology profession, significantly impacting how pathologists conduct their craft. While some aspects have gained broader acceptance, newer technologies are still met with some reservations. Pathologists need to gain a deeper understanding of digital pathology and tissue image analysis technology in order to fully utilize these tools.

Phenotypic Characterization of a Virulent PRRSV-1 Isolate in a Reproductive Model With and Without Prior Heterologous Modified Live PRRSV-1 Vaccination

Heinrich Kreutzmann et al.

Summary: This study phenotypically characterized a virulent PRRSV-1 subtype 1 isolate (AUT15-33) in a reproductive model and evaluated the protective effect of a heterologous modified live virus vaccine. The results showed promising results of vaccination in reducing viremia, fetal damage, and transplacental transmission of the PRRSV-1 strain.

Description of a New Clade within Subtype 1 of Betaarterivirus suid 1 Causing Severe Outbreaks in Spain

Gerard E. Martin-Valls et al.

Summary: This report describes 28 genome sequences belonging to a new clade in subtype 1 of Betaarterivirus suid 1, previously known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 1. These sequences exhibit a potential recombinant pattern, with a highly pathogenic strain from Italy identified as the likely major parental sequence along with three other possible parents.

Influence of PRRSV-1 vaccination and infection on mononuclear immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface

Melissa R. Stas et al.

Summary: This study investigated the immune cell phenotypes at the maternal-fetal interface during late gestation in response to PRRSV infection. The results showed that infection led to an expansion of effector lymphocytes, while vaccination improved fetal preservation status.

Effect of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 on angiogenesis and cell proliferation at the maternal-fetal interface

Javier A. Barrera-Zarate et al.

Summary: Angiogenesis and cell proliferation are crucial for maintaining pregnancy. PRRSV-2 infection alters placental physiology. This study suggests that fetal resilience may be related to increased cell proliferation in uterine epithelium.

Efficacy of a Modified Live Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus 1 (PRRSV-1) Vaccine against Experimental Infection with PRRSV AUT15-33 in Weaned Piglets

Sophie Duerlinger et al.

Summary: This study assessed the efficacy of a modified live PRRSV-1 vaccine in weaned piglets experimentally infected with PRRSV strain AUT15-33. Results showed that vaccination increased average daily weight gain, reduced viral shedding in oral fluids and tissue samples, as well as reduced the severity of lung lesions.

Genome-Wide Characterization of QYYZ-Like PRRSV During 2018-2021

Hu Xu et al.

Summary: The emergence of QYYZ-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has attracted increasing attention in the last decade. This study reveals that QYYZ-like strains were mainly prevalent in central and southern China and played an important role in the PRRSV epidemic in China.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus whole-genome sequencing efficacy with field clinical samples using a poly(A)-tail viral genome purification method

Carl A. Gagnon et al.

Summary: The genomic surveillance of PRRSV based on ORF5 gene sequencing covers only a small portion of the entire viral genome. Whole-genome sequencing of PRRSV can offer better insight into clinical discrepancies observed in the field. Success of PRRSV WGS is influenced by viral load, sample type, and laboratory skills.

An Automated Approach to Improve the Quantification of Pericytes and Microglia in Whole Mouse Brain Sections

Jo-Maree Courtney et al.

Summary: Whole slide scanning technology allows high-resolution imaging of tissue sections, but commonly used analysis software may struggle with large data files. This study demonstrates the use of QuPath software for detecting and classifying fluorescently-labeled cells in whole brain tissue sections, revealing varying proportions of microglia and pericytes across different brain regions, with no gender differences observed. QuPath could provide a user-friendly solution for important discoveries in research on both health and disease.

International Guidelines for Veterinary Tumor Pathology: A Call to Action

Donald J. Meuten et al.

Summary: Standardization of tumor assessment is crucial for validating grading systems, ensuring reproducibility in oncologic studies, and increasing confidence in study results. This article provides standard guidelines for tumor assessment parameters to address the lack of methodological standardization in veterinary medicine. By updating and revising these guidelines regularly and providing them as living documents on a website, collaboration between pathologists and institutions can be facilitated to advance veterinary oncologic pathology and patient care.
