Seroprevalence of porcine proliferative enteropathy before initiating vaccine marketing in Korea
نویسنده
چکیده
Proliferative enteropathy caused by Lawsonia intracellularis is one of the most common enteric diseases in pigs. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of serum antibodies against L. intracellularis in the general swine population of Korea from 2005 to 2008. In total, 8,008 swine serum samples obtained from 1,001 herds were tested. The samples were analyzed with an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay to detect anti-L. intracellularis antibodies. The overall 4-year average true prevalence was 40.0% (CI: 39.4 40.6%) at the individual animal level and 71.9% (CI: 70.3-73.4%) at the herd level.

Seroprevalence of porcine proliferative enteropathy among wild boars in the Republic of Korea
BACKGROUND The importance of the wild boar as a reservoir of Lawsonia intracellularis was assessed by investigating the seroprevalence of this pathogen among wild boars in the Republic of Korea. The extent of exposure to L. intracellularis among wild boars (Sus scrofa coreanus) was monitored by a country-wide serological survey using an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay. RESULTS In this study,...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of two Lawsonia intracellularis isolates associated with proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy and porcine intestinal adenomatosis in South Korea.
This study represents the first published data on antimicrobial susceptibility of Asian isolates of Lawsonia intracellularis. We assessed MICs of 16 antimicrobials for two isolates of L. intracellularis recovered from diseased pigs in South Korea, one from a finisher pig with acute proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy in 2002 and the other from a grower pig with porcine intestinal adenomatosis...
متن کاملPrevention and Control of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (“Ileitis”)
Porcine proliferative enteropathy is an enteric disease, primarily affecting young growing pigs and associated with the end of the small intestine i.e. the ileum, hence, it is more commonly called ‘ileitis’. The proliferative lesions can also extend down into the caecum and proximal colon. The disease is caused by the obligate, intracellular-living bacterium, Lawsonia intracellularis, named aft...
متن کاملField Evaluation of the Efficacy of Vaccination against Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy Depending on the Vaccination Protocol and Farm Management System
The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of Enterisol Ileitis vaccine administered orally in water against porcine proliferative enteropathy. For a comparison, two administration protocols were used for the vaccination: individual oral drench or via drinking water accessible to the herd. The efficacy of the vaccine was studied on breeding, commercial, and fattening swine farms. As...
متن کاملUpdate on epidemiology and diagnosis of porcine proliferative enteropathy
Proliferative enteropathy (PE) is an enteric disease that occurs in pigs1 and a number of other species.2 The etiologic agent of PE in swine is the obligatory intracellular bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis.3–6 The disease in pigs, commonly referred to as ileitis, occurs in two major clinical forms. Acute hemorrhagic diarrhea and sudden death of replacement animals and finishing pigs close to ...
