How does swine influenza virus facilitate secondary bacterial complications?
The influenza virus promotes colonization by secondary bacterial agents in the lung, facilitating their passage into the bloodstream.
Pharmgate: Aivlosin® WSG approved in U.S. and Canada to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
This approval gives Aivlosin® WSG the broadest label indication of any product for the control of swine respiratory disease (SRD).
Principal co-infections of the porcine respiratory system
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?
Swine pneumonias caused by bacteria
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.
Antimicrobial susceptibility, serotypes and genotypes of Pasteurella multocida isolates associated with swine pneumonia in Taiwan
The results of the present study demonstrated that the P. multocida isolated from diseased pigs in Taiwan was resistant to multiple antimicrobials.
Clinical case: Problems with Salmonellosis and PCV2-associated disease in nursery and early fattening
We got a call to visit a fattening farm where 7-week-old piglets presented meningitis and diarrhoea after weaning, with a mortality rate of 5% three weeks after weaning.
Evaluation of pig pleuritis at the slaughterhouse
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.
PRRSV: Interaction with other respiratory pathogens
PRRSV by itself may induce mild-to-severe respiratory disease but rarely results in mortality.
Pleurisy: economic impact and strategies for management in swine farms
The prevalence of pleurisy is surprisingly high among pigs at slaughter. A recent review of available data ranged from 12.5% in the UK, 26% in Spain, to 41% of individual pigs slaughtered in one Norwegian study.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
This report provides the first extensive survey of the antimicrobial susceptibility of major SRD pathogens isolated from swine across the United States and Canada during the years 2001 to 2010.
