1. Introduction The intestinal epithelium is a major interface with the outside world. This interface is separated from the body’s internal milieu by a single layer of epithelial cells consisting of absorptive enterocytes, goblet, enteroendocrine and Paneth cells. These cells are exposed, at the apical domain, to an external environment that is continuously changing by types and amounts of microorganisms, microbial products, gastrointestinal secretions and potentially...
INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are secondary metabolic products of fungi with toxigenic effects in other living species. Worldwide, about 88% of animal feed and feedstuffs are contaminated with at least one mycotoxin [1]. Fusarium toxins are the most prevalent, where deoxynivalenol ranks at first with 64% of occurrence, followed by fumonisins and zearalenone [1]. In pigs chronically fed deoxynivalenol contaminated diets, it is observed increased expression of interleukin 8 and...
1. Introduction The microbiota plays important roles on the maturation of the intestine and immune system and consequently affects the health of the host [1,2]. The physicochemical properties and the direct interaction with intestinal cells lead to a distinguishable composition of the microbiota along the gastrointestinal tract [3–5]. The microbiota in the intestinal lumen is more related to dietary compounds, whereas the mucosa-associated microbiota directly interacts...

Main text Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was first described in 1998 [1], and since then, it has become one of the most important pig pathogens, contributing to considerable economic losses by a syndrome called porcine circovirus disease (PCVD). The virus has demonstrated the highest evolution rate among similar DNA viruses, resulting in genetic shifts even over the rather short period of time since its recognition [2]. Today six genotypes of PCV2 are known, PCV2a-f [3]. PCV2d...
