Isolation, Passage, and Pathogenicity of a Newly Isolated Lawsonia intracellularis Strain From Hubei, China [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Lawsonia intracellularis is the causative agent of porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE)—a disease of great economic impact to the global pig industry, but the isolation and continuous passage culture of this bacterial species is very difficult which limits the development of inactivated or live vaccines.
