Since the placenta is multilayered, there is no transfer of maternal antibodies into the pig fetal circulation, so passive immunity is completely acquired by post-farrowing colostral intake. When speaking about investigation of maternal immunity, the problem of lasting colostral protection of piglets deriving from sows that were repeatedly vaccinated with modified live vaccine (China strain - C strain) is stressed. The objective of this investigation was to detect the presence of maternal antibodies against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in piglets of different age deriving from sows that were repeatedly vaccinated with China strain CSFV. The examination was carried out on 35 piglets of different age deriving from sows that were repeatedly vaccinated with C-virus strain of CSF by applying immunoenzyme method (ELISA test). On the bases of obtained serological results, it may be concluded that in farm conditions there was a certain number of piglets that did not suck sufficient quantity of colostrum in early post-farrowing period and the problem may be analyzed from the aspect of half-life time of maternal antibodies against CSF. Certainly, future research should include laboratory methods that can provide more precise control of changed values of antibody titre against CSFV, both in sows and in piglets of different age with the aim to view the dynamics of persistence specific antibodies against CSFV in vaccinated pig population.

Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious disease of swine caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV). For decades the disease has been controlled in China by a modified live vaccine (C-strain) of genotype 1. The emergent genotype 2 strains have become predominant in China in the past years that are genetically distant from the vaccine strain. Here, we aimed to evaluate the current infectious status of CSF, and for this purpose 24 isolates of CSFV were identified from different areas of China during 2016–2018. Phylogenetic analysis of NS5B, E2 and full genome revealed that the new isolates were clustered into subgenotype 2.1d and 2.1b, while subgenotype 2.1d was predominant. Moreover, E2 and Erns displayed multiple variations in neutralizing epitope regions. Furthermore, the new isolates exhibited capacity to escape C-strain-derived antibody neutralization compared with the Shimen strain (genotype 1). Potential positive selection sites were identified in antigenic regions of E2 and Erns, which are related with antibody binding affinity. Recombination events were predicted in the new isolates with vaccine strains in the E2 gene region. In conclusion, the new isolates showed molecular variations and antigenic alterations, which provide evidence for the emergence of vaccine-escaping mutants and emphasize the need of updated strategies for CSF control.

The aim of this study was to survey the serological response to classical swine fever disease in vaccinated pigs in Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City. By using the PrioCHECK® CSFV Ab 2.0 ELISA test kit to detect antibodies against CSF in 410 vaccinated pigs and IDEXX CSFV Ag Serum Plus Test to detect the Erns protein of the CSFV in pigs without antibodies against CSFV. Results showed that the overall seroprevalence observed in vaccinated pigs in other Farms varied from 70% - 100% (P < 0.05), but in Farm 5, no pigs produced a positive humoral response against CSFV were found. The highest seroprevalence of antibodies against CSFV was found in Farms with a herd size of ≥ 1000 - < 6000 animals (91.26%) and the lowest was a Farms with less than 1000 animals (51.81%). The highest ratio of positive pigs for antibodies against CSFV belonging to Group of > 40 - ≤ 60 days post-vaccination was 98.36%. The lowest rate was found in Group of 30 - ≤ 40 days postvaccination (51.96%). That grower pigs had the highest proportion of positive pigs for antibodies against CSFV accounting for 81.40%; next, the proportion of positive sows was 73.24%. Significant differences in the seroprevalence observed in vaccinated pigs across herd size, days post-vaccination, type of pigs (P < 0.05). In this study, no pig was found to contain CSFV antigen.

The efficacy of a novel subunit vaccine candidate, based in the CSFV E2 glycoprotein produced in plants to prevent classical swine fever virus (CSFV) vertical transmission, was evaluated. A Nicotiana benthamiana tissue culture system was used to obtain a stable production of the E2-glycoprotein fused to the porcine Fc region of IgG. Ten pregnant sows were divided into three groups: Groups 1 and 2 (four sows each) were vaccinated with either 100 μg/dose or 300 μg/dose of the subunit vaccine at 64 days of pregnancy. Group 3 (two sows) was injected with PBS. Groups 1 and 2 were boosted with the same vaccine dose. At 10 days post second vaccination, the sows in Groups 2 and 3 were challenged with a highly virulent CSFV strain. The vaccinated sows remained clinically healthy and seroconverted rapidly, showing efficient neutralizing antibodies. The fetuses from vaccinated sows did not show gross lesions, and all analyzed tissue samples tested negative for CSFV replication. However, fetuses of non-vaccinated sows had high CSFV replication in tested tissue samples. The results suggested that in vaccinated sows, the plant produced E2 marker vaccine induced the protective immunogenicity at challenge, leading to protection from vertical transmission to fetuses.
