Enteric Diseases - Common Infectious Causes: What Are The Economic Costs?

摘要

This paper summarizes the estimated economic impact of major infectious enteric diseases in weaned pigs. The most common global causes of infectious enteric disease in swine are: Swine dysentery due to Brachyspim hyodysenteriae group; Proliferative enteropathy (ileitis) due to Lawsonia intracellularis; Epidemic diarrhoea (TGE) due to porcine coronaviruses; Salmonellosis, often in conjunction with PCV 2; Colibacillosis due to enterotoxigenic E coli strains. In many farm situations, these infections may be mixed, leading to an enteric disease "complex" similar to that for respiratory disease.
