Time to rethink Mycoplasma surveillance protocols for gilt introduction to negative sow herds
Traditional surveillance protocols for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae should not become a tradition. In this article, the authors give us their field-based research approach for an updated surveillance protocol with increased diagnostic accuracy.
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.
The different sounds of cough
Respiratory pathogens produce different coughs. Any coughing by pigs in a grow-out barn can vary according to the infection present, so it is worthwhile to listen carefully.
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae variability: Current trends and proposed terminology for genomic classification
A commonly employed molecular typing method for M. hyopneumoniae is Multiple‐Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA).
Acclimation strategies in gilts to control Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae: what strategies can we use?
Exposure methods: natural, intranasal, intra-tracheal, aerosol or vaccination.
Which route of exposure is best for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae gilt acclimation?
Intranasal and intratracheal inoculation routes as well as aerosolization with foggers are discussed.
Gilt Acclimatization for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in the field
Traditional gilt exposure to seeder animals is being substituted by intratracheal inoculation and aerosol exposure.
Clinical case: Influenza type A outbreak in a minimal disease farm
The farmer contacted the veterinary surgeon concerning an increase of respiratory distress and mortality in the finishing pigs during the previous 3 days.
Achieving Day 0 for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae: What is it? Why should it be done?
Establishing Day 0 is a crucial step in disease control and elimination programs and should be carefully performed by swine health professionals.
What happens when M. hyopneumoniae enters a herd? Assessment of natural infection in gilts
Some of the take-home messages of this article are: M. hyo transmits slowly within exposed populations, but pigs can shed for long periods of time.
Replacement acclimation practices for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae used in Europe
Gilt acclimation was performed in 78% surveyed European farms; vaccination, alone or combined with natural exposure to infected animals, was the main used strategy.
