Vera Letticie de Azevedo Ruiz is a veterinarian and completed her residency in Preventive Veterinary Medicine in 2002, a Master's in Science (Microbiology) in 2004, and a Ph.D. in Veterinary Medicine (Experimental Epidemiology and Applied Zoonoses) in 2007 from the University of São Paulo. She attended a specialization course at Osaka Prefecture University in 2007. She was awarded the title of Livre Docente in 2021 in the field of Biosafety and Epidemiology of Transmissible Swine Diseases by the University of São Paulo. She was a Scientific Researcher 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). Her research lines include the study of transmissible diseases in swine, biosafety in pig farming, and swine microbiota. In addition to her work as a veterinarian, she has experience in the implementation and auditing of 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…
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…
