CHAPTER 7 (Bacterial disease) Flashcards
(15 cards)
is a chronic nasal condition characterized by the thinning (atrophy) of the nasal lining (mucosa) and bone, leading to abnormally wide nasal passages, dryness, crusting, and a foul odor.
Atrophic rhinitis
The Etiology of Atrophic rhinitis is complex and cause by at least two organism.
Bordetella bronchiseptica
Pasteurella multicida
is a chronic clinically mild, infectious pneumonia of pigs. Characterized by the ability to become endemic in the herd and to produce a persistent dry cough, retarded growth rate, Sporadic “Flare ups” of overt respiratory distress and a high incidence of lung lesions in slaughter pigs
Mycoplasmal Pneumonia
Bacteria causes Mycoplasmal Pneumonia
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Etiology:
* Caused by the bacterium Glaesserella
parasuis (formerly Haemophilus parasuis).
Glasser’s Disease
Bacteria causes Glasser’s disease
Haemophilus parasuis
It is part of the normal flora in the upper respiratory tract of
healthy pigs but can become pathogenic under stress or coinfection.
Haemophilus parasuis
inflammation of pericardium, pleura, peritoneum
fibrinous polyserositis
Etiology:
* Caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
Colibacillosis
Causative agent of Colibacillosis
Escherichia coli
Etiology:
* Caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a gram-positive rod.
* Found in the tonsils and environment; shed in feces, urine, and nasal secretions.
* Can survive in soil and organic matter for long periods.
Diamond Skin Disease ( Erysipelas)
Etiology:
* Caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus hyicus.
* It enters through skin abrasions, often caused by fighting, rough flooring, or poor hygiene.
Greasy Pig Disease ( Exudative Epidermitis)
Can be transmitted to humans, primarily through contact with
infected animals or their products. This infection in humans is
known as erysipeloid.
Erysipelas - Erysipeloid
Etiology:
* Caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), a gramnegative bacterium.
* There are multiple serotypes, some more virulent than others.
Swine Pleuropneumonia
- Found in the tonsils and environment; shed in feces, urine, and nasal secretions.
- Can survive in soil and organic matter for long periods.
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
