Abstract
Well-intestinal health is crucial for better growth performance in pigs. Type 3 immunity, which is one of the three types of immune responses in mammals, plays a vital role in maintaining intestinal homoeostasis. Therefore, we initially introduce the type 3 immune cells in the intestine of pigs, including their distribution, development, and function. We then discuss the type 3 immune response under infection, encompassing bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. It also covers two major stresses in pigs: heat stress and weaning stress. Lastly, we discuss the effects of various nutrients and feed additives on the regulation of the type 3 immune response in pigs under infection. This review aims to contribute to the understanding of the interaction between infection and type 3 immunity in pigs and to illustrate how various nutrients modulate the type 3 immune response in pigs under diverse infections.
期刊介绍:
Virulence is a fully open access peer-reviewed journal. All articles will (if accepted) be available for anyone to read anywhere, at any time immediately on publication.
Virulence is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind to focus exclusively on microbial pathogenicity, the infection process and host-pathogen interactions. To address the new infectious challenges, emerging infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance, there is a clear need for interdisciplinary research.
