Intracellular bacteria of porcine proliferative enteropathy: cultivation and maintenance in vitro [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993 An obligate intracellular bacterium was isolated from the intestines of all 10 cases of porcine proliferative enteropathy from four different pig farms. The organism grew in a rat enterocyte cell line (IEC-18) and was maintained over 20 passages. The growth of the bacteria was assessed by immunostaining of cells exposed to infection.

Seroprevalence of porcine proliferative enteropathy among wild boars in the Republic of Korea. [PDF]
BMC Vet Res, 2014 The importance of the wild boar as a reservoir of Lawsonia intracellularis was assessed by investigating the seroprevalence of this pathogen among wild boars in the Republic of Korea. The extent of exposure to L. intracellularis among wild boars (Sus scrofa coreanus) was monitored by a country-wide serological survey using an immunoperoxidase monolayer

Reduced use of antimicrobials after vaccination of pigs against porcine proliferative enteropathy in a Danish SPF herd [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2009 The present study explored whether the use of group medication with antibiotics in a Danish pig herd was reduced after vaccination of the pigs against proliferative enteropathy (PE) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis.

An Atypical Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy of Malgrowth Piglets
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2010 Two 60-day-old pigs showing clinical signs of malgrowth and diarrhea were diagnosed as atypical porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE). The intestinal mucosal lesions in the piglets were characterized by the adenomatous proliferation of the crypt epithelium together with growth of small curved bacteria within the enterocytes. The lesions could be seen
