articles about Haemophilus parasuis - Glasser in Articles

When losses and costs from poor health threaten the current and future farm profitability, perhaps a “clean slate” should be considered.

How do turbinate atrophy and the effect on cilia caused by B. bronchiseptica affect the incidence of S. suis and porcine respiratory disease complex?

What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose Glässer disease? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?

The influenza virus promotes colonization by secondary bacterial agents in the lung, facilitating their passage into the bloodstream.

What factors cause increased mortality and slow-growing piglets in the nursery phase? How can we address these issues?

M. hyopneumoniae is involved in most of the co-infections of the porcine respiratory system. How does it act and what effects does it have?

This article describes the principal lesions that characterize the main bacterial pneumonias. Although most are opportunistic agents, there are two primary bacterial agents capable of causing lesions on their own.

More than 50% of all systemic samples tested by HPS PCR at the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (ISU VDL) are positive.

The recent development of PCR serotyping is a step forward that allows any laboratory to determine the serotype of the isolated H. parasuis strain.

An erythema multiforme (EM) was noticed in the majority (90%) of breeding stock, associated with respiratory problems and without mortality.

PRRSV does not favour infection by H. parasuis by reducing the population of alveolar macrophages, but by reducing their ability to inactivate the bacteria.

The abattoir is a useful endpoint to collect data on herd health status and a valuable tool for monitoring the effect of disease control measures.

A sudden death of animals, with no prior symptoms of disease, and clinical symptoms such as massive facial, ears and forechest oedema, as well as an increase of body temperature to 41.5ºC, were observed.

In reproductive disease, submission of several whole affected litters is advisable to provide material for diagnosis of PRRSV and other diseases causing reproductive or neonatal problems.

You might also say that there are a variety of conditions which occur to the skin because it is a limiting membrane surrounding the pig’s organs.

Skin disease is one of the most difficult areas to assess clinically and on gross pathology.
