Detection of Serum IgG Specific for Brachyspira pilosicoli and “Brachyspira canis” in Dogs [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesBrachyspira pilosicoli (B. pilosicoli) is a pathogen in pigs, poultry, and humans causing colitis, diarrhea, and poor growth rates. Its role as a canine pathogen is controversial, and the seroprevalence of specific IgG antibodies against B. pilosicoli in

Control of swine dysentery at national level in Sweden [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria ScandinavicaBackground Swine dysentery, caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, is a severe pig disease. Resistance to tylosins is common and resistance to tiamulin has been reported since the 1990s. Still, dysentery is not notifiable to authorities.
