TRANSMISSION

• mechanical carriers
 INCUBATION PERIOD

one to three weeks Affected pigs show

diarrheaeven serious illness and
death
 DIAGNOSIS

Clinical signs of diarrhea with blood

and mucus.
• Necropsy - this disease is restricted
to the large intestine.
• Special bacterial culture and
identification of a verybeta
hemolytic.
• PCR of feces
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

• Lawsonia intracellulans.
• B. pilosicoli,
• Brachyspira spp,
• Salmonella,
• Escherichia coli,
• Trichuris suis
 CONTROL AND PREVENTION

• Rodent and wildlife control.

• Handling all in / all out.
• Complete cleaning and disinfection in the romos
• Do not mix pigs.
• Antibiotics can be used for its control, but it requires
long periodsand it can be quite expensive
• Depopulate and refill infected farms.
• All replacement animals must come from a negative
supplierto dysentery.
• In some areas there are vaccines available that may
be helpful
 In outbreaks of the disease, pigs should be treated with
antibiotics; the drug of choice is tiamulin, although
lincomycin is also effective in most cases. The
medication can be administered with feed or in water (the
latter is preferable because sick pigs usually stop eating
and thus will not take the medication). Individual sick
pigs should be treated with antibiotics by injection as
well
