Edema disease
ETEC Heat labile toxin
high molecular weight, strong Ag and used to make vaccines
ETEC Heat stable toxin
low molecular weight, little antigenic
ETEC Clinical signs
watery diarrhea, very smell feces, dehydration
ETEC pathogenesis
ascend from lower bowel or oral uptake and then colonizes small intestine
ETEC epidemiology
infection get from intestine of healthy sows
equilibrium between maternal immunity and infection pressure
low hygiene
