Survey on the occurrence of Brachyspira species and Lawsonia intracellularis in children living on pig farms [PDF]
The occurrence of Brachyspira species and Lawsonia intracellularis was investigated by PCR analyses of faeces from 60 children living on European pig farms. In addition, 60 other children were included as controls.

Investigation of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira hampsonii strain EB107 and comparison of diagnostic methods [PDF]
Swine dysentery (SD) is an important cause of mucohemorrhagic diarrhea in pigs. Swine dysentery is associated with infection by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae which has historically been the only recognized strongly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira sp. However, in

Application of nox-restriction fragment length polymorphism for the differentiation of Brachyspira intestinal spirochetes isolated from pigs and poultry in Australia [PDF]
Sixty-nine intestinal spirochetes isolated from pigs and poultry in eastern Australia were selected to evaluate the effectiveness of a species-specific PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the Brachyspira nox gene.

The levels of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae binding to porcine colonic mucins differ between individuals, and binding is increased to mucins from infected pigs with de novo MUC5AC synthesis [PDF]
Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonizes the pig colon, resulting in mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and growth retardation. Fecal mucus is a characteristic feature of swine dysentery; therefore, we investigated how the mucin environment changes in the colon during
