need good ____ because originates in ____
takes ___-___ ____ BEFORE seeing CLINICAL SIGNS, which includes ____ ____

may be ____ to recover
morbidity/mortality?
4 clinical signs?
1. D+

may be SLOW to recover
VARIABLE morbidity/mortality
COCCIDIOSIS/CYSTOISOSPOROSIS…
main NECROPSY finding?
what 2 pathologic changes can we see?
diagnosis? (2)
NECROPSY = THICKENED JEJUNAL & ILEAL WALLS in SI
2 pathologic changes?
1. FIBRONOUS ENTERITIS in SI
2. VILLOUS ATROPHY
diagnosis?
1. FECAL SAMPLES
2. HISTOPATH AT NECROPSY
PREVENTION for COCCIDIOSIS? (three)
- better SANITATION on SURFACES
- ELIMINATE/SEAL POROUS SURFACES where OOCYSTS CAN SIT
- ALL IN ALL OUT, ONE GROUP OF PIGS WILL STAY TOGETHER/SEPARATE FROM OTHER GROUPS
what drug should we NEVER use for treating pigs?
SULFONAMIDES!!
CLOSTRIDIAL ENTERITIS…
MAIN etiologic agent?
which one is UBIQUITOUS?
clostridium can produce ____, this is a GOOD clinical sign for..
____-FORMING BACTERIA
infects the ____ ____
can come from the… (2)
MAIN etiologic agent = C. PERFRINGENS
UBIQUITOUS = C. DIFFICLE
clostridium can produce GAS, this is a GOOD clinical sign for DIAGNOSIS on NECROPSY
SPORE-FORMING BACTERIA
infects the SMALL INTESTINE
can come from the…
1. ENVIRONMENT
2. SOW
CLOSTRIDIAL ENTERITIS…
etiologic agent?
pathogenesis? (2)
if no tx/severe, can see ___ within ____ ____ after infection
etiologic agent = C. PERFRINGENS
pathogenesis?
1. CLOSTRIDIUM produces TOXINS
2. toxins cause TISSUE NECROSIS
if no tx/severe, can see DEATH within 12 HOURS after infection
C DIFF tends to cause more MORBIDITY/MORTALITY while C PERFRINGENS tends to cause more MORBIDITY/MORTALITY in pigs
C DIFF = MORBIDITY
