Emergence of Brachyspira species and strains: reinforcing the need for surveillance [PDF]
This short review discusses the increasing complexity that has developed around the understanding of Brachyspira species that infect pigs, and their ability to cause disease.

Colonic mucosal lesions associated with “Brachyspira hampsonii” strain 30446. [PDF]
Gross colonic mucosal lesions observed following inoculation with pure broth culture containing strain 30446. Images are of different INOC pigs euthanized between D6 and D12 post-inoculation.

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae isolated from apparently healthy pig herds following an evaluation of a prototype commercial serological ELISA [PDF]
Swine dysentery (SD) is a disease mainly of grower/finisher pigs characterised by severe mucohaemorrhagic colitis. The classical aetiological agent is the anaerobic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, although “Brachyspira hampsonii” and ...

“Brachyspira hampsonii” strain 30446 in Warthin-Faulkner stained colonic sections. [PDF]
Histologic sections of spiral colon taken from pigs with mucohaemorrhagic diarrhea examined with Warthin-Faulkner silver staining. Spirochetes can be seen in the intestinal crypts (A) and along the epithelial surface (B).

An investigation into the extent of occurrence of novel pathogenic Brachyspira species, including newly recognised agents of swine dysentery, in Australian pig herds. Report prepared for the Co-operative Research Centre for High Integrity Australian Pork [PDF]
Swine dysentery (SD) is a bacterial disease of grower and finisher pigs, causing colitis and bloody mucoid diarrhoea. In infected herds it can have a major economic impact through reduced growth rates, poor food conversion, mortalities and costs of ...
