Characterization of the fecal microbiota of pigs before and after inoculation with "Brachyspira hampsonii". [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 "Brachyspira hampsonii" causes disease indistinguishable from swine dysentery, and the structure of the intestinal microbiome likely plays a role in determining susceptibility of individual pigs to infection and development of clinical disease.

Novel multiplex TaqMan assay for differentiation of the four major pathogenic Brachyspira species in swine [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 A novel TaqMan 5‐plex real‐time PCR using a combination of locked nucleic acid‐modified (LNA)‐ and minor groove binding (MGB)‐conjugated DNA probes was developed for identification and differentiation between the four main pathogenic Brachyspira species ...

First identification of "Brachyspira hampsonii" in wild European waterfowl. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Anseriformes deserve special attention in the epidemiology of Brachyspira spp. because diverse Anseriformes species have been described to act as highly efficient carriers of several Brachyspira spp. that can also infect livestock.

Combined in-vitro and on-farm evaluation of commercial disinfectants used against Brachyspira hyodysenteriae [PDF]
Porcine Health Management, 2022 Background Swine dysentery (SD) is a severe infectious disease with a relevant impact on pig production usually caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, although B. hampsonii causes an identical clinical picture.

Investigation of the impact of increased dietary insoluble fiber through the feeding of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on the incidence and severity of Brachyspira-associated colitis in pigs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Diet has been implicated as a major factor impacting clinical disease expression of swine dysentery and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonization. However, the impact of diet on novel pathogenic strongly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira spp.

Experimental natural transmission (seeder pig) models for reproduction of swine dysentery [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Swine dysentery is causally associated with Brachyspira hampsonii and B. hyodysenteriae infection. Given the importance of transmission models in understanding re-emergent diseases and developing control strategies such as vaccines, the objective of this

First molecular detection of Brachyspira suanatina on pig farms in Poland [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023 Prior to the 2000s, swine dysentery was considered to be caused only by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae with contributing commensal intestinal anaerobes.

Improving the consistency of experimental swine dysentery inoculation strategies [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2023 Swine dysentery (SD) caused by pathogenic Brachyspira spp. is an economic challenge for the swine industry. In research settings, experimental reproduction of swine dysentery typically relies on intragastric inoculation which has shown variable success ...

Reproduction of mucohaemorrhagic diarrhea and colitis indistinguishable from swine dysentery following experimental inoculation with "Brachyspira hampsonii" strain 30446. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundMucohaemorrhagic diarrhea caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, swine dysentery, is a severe production limiting disease of swine. Recently, pigs in western Canada with clinical signs indistinguishable from swine dysentery were observed ...

Confirmation that "Brachyspira hampsonii" clade I (Canadian strain 30599) causes mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and colitis in experimentally infected pigs. [PDF]
BMC Vet Res, 2014 BACKGROUND: “Brachyspira hampsonii”, discovered in North America in 2010 associated with dysentery-like illness, is an economically relevant swine pathogen resulting in decreased feed efficiency and increased morbidity, mortality and medication usage. “B.
