Characterization and Recognition of Brachyspira hampsonii sp. nov., a Novel Intestinal Spirochete That Is Pathogenic to Pigs [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2016 ABSTRACT Swine dysentery (SD) is a mucohemorrhagic colitis of swine classically caused by infection with the intestinal spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae . Since around 2007, cases of SD have occurred in North America associated with a different strongly beta-hemolytic spirochete that has been ...

Fecal shedding of Brachyspira spp. on a farrow-to-finish swine farm with a clinical history of “Brachyspira hampsonii”-associated colitis [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2013 Abstract Background Brachyspira associated diarrhea is a re-emerging concern for Canadian swine producers. To identify critical control points for reducing the impact of Brachyspira on production, improved diagnostic tools and a better understanding of the on-farm epidemiology of these pathogens are ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Novel Pathogen “Brachyspira hampsonii” Reveals Relationships between Diverse Genetic Groups, Regions, Host Species, and Other Pathogenic and Commensal Brachyspira Species [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACT Outbreaks of bloody diarrhea in swine herds in the late 2000s signaled the reemergence of an economically significant disease, swine dysentery, in the United States. Investigations confirmed the emergence of a novel spirochete in swine, provisionally designated “ Brachyspira hampsonii ,” with two ...

Confirmation that “Brachyspira hampsonii” clade I (Canadian strain 30599) causes mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and colitis in experimentally infected pigs [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2014 "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. hampsonii" clade II strain 30446 has been shown to be causally associated with mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and ...

Differential expression of hemolysin genes in weakly and strongly hemolytic Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Swine dysentery (SD) is a diarrheal disease in fattening pigs that is caused by the strongly hemolytic species Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae, B. hampsonii and B. suanatina. As weakly hemolytic Brachyspira spp. are considered less virulent or

Characterization of “Brachyspira hampsonii” clades I and II isolated from commercial swine in Western Canada [PDF]
FACETS, 2016 A novel Brachyspira emerged in 2009 and has since become a production-limiting pathogen of pigs in North America. The name “Brachyspira hampsonii” has been proposed for this novel taxon.

Comparison of the Luminal and Mucosa-Associated Microbiota in the Colon of Pigs with and without Swine Dysentery [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Colonic contents and mucosal scrapings from pigs inoculated with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae or Brachyspira hampsonii were collected at necropsy and classified as either positive (n = 29) or negative (n = 7) for swine dysentery (SD) based upon lesions and

An optimized swine dysentery murine model to characterize shedding and clinical disease associated with "Brachyspira hampsonii" infection. [PDF]
BMC Vet Res, 2017 The development of a mouse model as an in vivo pathogenicity screening tool for Brachyspira spp. has advanced the study of these economically important pathogens in recent years. However, none of the murine models published to date have been used to characterize the clinical signs of disease in mice, instead focusing on pathology following oral ...

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

First isolation of “Brachyspira hampsonii” from pigs in Europe [PDF]
Veterinary Record, 2014 Infections with Brachyspira species in swine occur in most swine-rearing countries and can result in substantial economic losses. Of all swine-related Brachyspira species Infections, classical swine dysentery, caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae , results in the most severe clinical symptoms (eg, mucohaemorrhagic diarrhoea, weight loss, poor feed ...
