Management and intradermal vaccination as a tool to control M. hyo

摘要

Respiratory disease in pigs is considered a significant disease condition in intensive pig production worldwide and Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) is a major contributor in this.M. hyo is the primary agent of enzootic pneumonia, a chronic respiratory disease caused by mixed respiratory infections with M. hyo and one or more secondary bacterial pathogens. Nowadays, these bacteria also play a central role in Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC). The multifactorial aetiology of PRDC includes both viral and bacterial pathogens, and is also influenced by management and environmental conditions.
