Efficacy of virginiamycin as a prophylactic drug to prevent swine dysentery [PDF]
, 1973 Forty-eight feeder pigs were used in an experiment to determine Virginiamycin\u27s effectiveness in preventing swine dysentery. Thirteen of 24 controls and one of 24 that received the antibiotic at either 25 or 50 grams per ton of feed died of swine ...

From predisposition to recovery: field evidence of interactions between the gut microbiota and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae infection [PDF]
Veterinary ResearchRestrictions on antibiotics use have increased interest in the gut microbiota relationship to host health, particularly in enteric infections. The present field study, performed on two farms with endemic swine dysentery (SD) infection, characterises the ...

Porcine β-defensin 5 (pBD-5) modulates the inflammatory and metabolic host intestinal response to infection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSwine dysentery (SD) presents considerable challenges to both animal welfare and pork industry sustainability. Control and prevention of SD rely on antibiotics and non-vaccine biosecurity practices.

Genomic insights into the population structure, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae from diverse geographical regions [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumSwine dysentery, caused by the anaerobic spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, leads to mucohemorrhagic diarrhea in grower-finisher pigs, impacting swine production. Knowledge regarding its genomic epidemiology is limited.

Scanning Electron Microscopic Observations on Swine Dysentery [PDF]
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1973 SUMMARY Specimens of colonic mucosa from 3 pigs with artificially induced dysentery were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Specimens from the pig killed at 3 days postinoculation (pi) were essentially normal. In specimens from the pigs killed at 5 and 8 days pi, mucohemorrhagic colitis was evident and spirochetes morphologically compatible with

Immune Response of Pigs Vaccinated Against Proliferative Enteropathy and Co-Infected with Lawsonia intracellularis and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae [PDF]
AnimalsVaccination is a tool to control Lawsonia intracellularis (LI) in pigs. However, pigs may have co-infections that worsen clinical signs and lesions. The aim of this study was to characterize systemic and gut-mediated humoral and cell-mediated immune (CMI)

Severity of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colitis correlates to the changes observed in the microbiota composition and its associated functionality in the large intestine [PDF]
Animal MicrobiomeBackground The gut microbiota is essential for maintaining nutritional, physiological and immunological processes, but colonic infections such as swine dysentery, caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (B. hyo) disrupt this homeostasis.
