Evaluation of the field efficacy of an avirulent live Lawsonia intracellularis vaccine in foals.
Equine proliferative enteropathy caused by Lawsonia intracellularis is an emerging disease with as yet unaddressed preventative measures. The hypothesis of this study was that vaccination will prevent clinical and sub-clinical disease. Weanling Thoroughbreds (n=202) from Central Kentucky were randomly assigned into two groups (vaccinated and non-vaccinated). Vaccinated foals received 30 mL of a...

متن کاملHow to Diagnose and Treat Lawsonia intracellularis
Proliferative enteropathy (PE) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis has emerged as a significant equine pathogen in recent years. Early diagnosis of this disease allows prompt initiation of appropriate therapy to help decrease the severity of this disease. Lawsonia intracellularis is an obligate intracellular, gram-negative, curve-shaped bacteria. In pigs, the organism results in lesions in the l...
متن کاملLawsonia Intracellularis: A Constant Challenge to Modern Swine Production
Lawsonia intracellularis (LI) is an obligate intracellular proteobacteria that causes porcine proliferative enteritis. The disease affects mainly piglets and has an important role in economic losses in the swine breeding chain, chiefly because it is usually hardly noticed swine herds. Being a disease with cosmopolitan distribution it triggers reduction in average daily gain of weight and feed c...
متن کاملEpidemiological investigations on Lawsonia intracellularis infections in pig herds
Objective: A serological screening study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Lawsonia (L.) intracellularis infections in German pig herds. Additionally a cross-sectional study of eight farrow-to-finish herds which was designed to investigate the dynamics of seroconversion. In addition, bacteriological tests were carried out on faec-al and intestinal samples from herds with diarrhoea ...
