Vera Letticie de Azevedo Ruiz is a veterinarian who completed her residency in Preventive Veterinary Medicine in 2002, her Masters degree in Sciences (Microbiology) in 2004, and her Ph.D. in Veterinary Medicine (Experimental Epidemiology Applied to Zoonoses) in 2007, all at the University of São Paulo. She undertook a specialization course at Osaka Prefecture University in 2007 and received the title of Livre-Docente (Habilitation) in 2021 in the field of Biosafety and Epidemiology of Transmissible Diseases in Swine at the University of São Paulo. She served as a Research Scientist at the Biological Institute from 2005 to 2011 and is currently an Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Veterinary Medicine program at the School of Animal Science and Food Engineering of the University of São Paulo (ZMV-FZEA-USP). She chairs the One Health Technical Committee of the São Paulo Regional Council of Veterinary Medicine (CRMV-SP) and serves as First Secretary of the São Paulo Regional Chapter of the Brazilian Association of Swine Veterinarians (ABRAVES-SP). She is also the Deputy Coordinator of the USP/FMVZ MBA in the Pet Market and host of the Suinocast podcast (Wisenetix). Her research focuses on transmissible diseases in swine, biosecurity in pig production, and the swine microbiota. In addition to her veterinary practice, she has experience in implementing and auditing quality management systems. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Several research groups studied swine microbiome of different samples, generally finding high frequency of Bacteriodetes e Firmicutes phyla, but no group studied the microbial composition of oral fluid until the present moment. Infection with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica in pigs can cause negative impacts on farm productivity, and contamination of carcasses has been considered as o…
The importance of the enteric infections in swine has increased and they represent one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality during the neonatal period, bringing on a great impact for the swine production. Diarrhea in animals is characterized by an etiological complexity syndrome that depends on the influence of environmental conditions, management and physiological factors, which…
Circovirosis has been reported in several countries and it has been considered an emerging wasting syndrome in swine, responsible for economic losses for pig farmers. Since 1991, Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) has been associated to Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS), clinically characterized by wasting and growth retardation in young animals, even though other signs suc…
The intestinal microbiota plays a central role in host homeostasis, influencing digestion, immune esponses, and the gut-brain axis. Diet is one of the main modulators of this microbial ecosystem, nd bovine milk, widely consumed by humans, contains bioactive peptides such as beta-casomorphin-7 BCM-7), primarily derived from the digestion of A1 beta-casein. BCM-7 has been associated with…
Several research groups studied swine microbiome of different samples, generally finding high frequency of Bacteriodetes e Firmicutes phyla, but no group studied the microbial composition of oral fluid until the present moment. The collection of oral fluid is presented as an alternative for the search for antibodies and pathogens, with sensitivity similar to traditional methods and smalle…
