Answers about App pleuropneumonia (2/2): Diagnosis, monitoring, and eradication
In this second article Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares answer questions about the diagnosis, monitoring, and eradication of pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App).
Answers about pleuropneumonia caused by App (1/2): Evolution and control
We asked Antonio Vela, Francisco José Pallarés, and David Espigares about pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App). In this first article, we will talk about the evolution and control of the disease.
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.
Associations between EP-like lesions and pleuritis and post trimming carcass weights
Enzootic pneumonia risk factors in fattening pigs
Any contact between fattening pigs of different age during restocking of compartments increased the risk.
Control and elimination of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Today, nearly all genetic suppliers of replacement breeding stock in North America are free of M.hyo.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae: Dynamics of Immunity and Physiology
The interaction between M. hyopneumoniae and its host make M. hyopneumoniae one of the most important contributors to porcine respiratory disease.
Mycoplasmal pneumonia: An important issue for the swine industry

Genomics and pig health
One of the greatest long-term potentials for genomic selection is to identify specific genes or genomic regions with a significant impact on pig health and to aid selection for disease resistance and/or disease tolerance.
Noninfectious factors associated with pneumonia and pleuritis in slaughter‐aged pigs
Clinical case: Necrotizing pneumonia in suckling piglets
In a factory farm located in Mexico an increase in the mortality in the farrowing quarters was seen, and this coincides with temperature and relative humidity increases.
