Association between faecal load of lawsonia intracellularis and pathological findings of proliferative enteropathy in pigs with diarrhoea
BACKGROUND The study was designed to investigate correlation between histological findings of Lawsonia intracellularis in porcine cases of diarrhoea and the quantitative detection of Lawsonia intracellularis in faeces. A total of 156 pigs (10 to 70 days post weaning) with diarrhoea were randomly selected from 20 herds: The pigs were subjected to necropsy, histopathology, immunohistochemistry an...
متن کاملReport of Lawsonia intracellularis Infection in Dogs by Polymerase Chain Reaction
The purpose of this study was to survey Lawsonia intracellularis in dogs in Thailand by using Polymerase chain reaction technique. Lawsonia intracellularis is obligatory intracellular bacterium which causes proliferative enteropathy in animals, including dog. Fecal samples from 48 dogs were collected from Bangkok, Pathumthani and Nakhon Ratchasima and tested for L. intracellularis by PCR techni...
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 کاملProliferative enteropathy: a global enteric disease of pigs caused by Lawsonia intracellularis.
Proliferative enteropathy (PE; ileitis) is a common intestinal disease affecting susceptible pigs raised under various management systems around the world. Major developments in the understanding of PE and its causative agent, Lawsonia intracellularis, have occurred that have led to advances in the detection of this disease and methods to control and prevent it. Diagnostic tools that have impro...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Lawsonia intracellularis Strain E40504, Isolated from a Horse Diagnosed with Equine Proliferative Enteropathy
Reported herein is the draft genome sequence of equine-origin Lawsonia intracellularis strain E40504, an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of equine proliferative enteropathy. The 1.69-Mb draft genome sequence includes 1,380 protein-coding genes and 49 RNA genes, and it lacks a genomic island reported in swine-origin L. intracellularis strain PHE/MN1-00.
