Q

How do pigs get salt poisoning?

A

as a consequence of water deprivation or from sudden ingestion of too much salt. (in water deprived normal salt levels can be consumed and still cause this) freezing water source cna cause this

A

5-7 day course and a relatively low mortality in uncomplicated outbreaks

25
Q

Where is swine influenze common and what age group does it normally effect, in the location most common what type is MC

A

Common in USA and occurs in all ages (H1N1 is the common subtype in the USA)

26
Q

What type of production system is swine influenza most common in?

A

Continuous production system

27
Q

How do we control swine influenza?

A

vaccination, maintaining closed herd, access to fresh feed and water, all in and all out

28
Q

How do we treat swine influenza?

A

antimicrobials for secondary bacterial infections

29
Q

What are common CS with swine influenza?

A 
Prostration
Weakness
Fever (104-106) 
Paroxysmal coughing 
anorexia
conjunctivitis with occulonasal discharge
growth retardation
high morbidity and low mortality
abortion during pregnancy or weak litters
transplacental infection possible
30
Q

Name the widespread, chronic respiratory disease of swine characterized by
coughing, growth retardation and reduced feed efficiency

A

Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia)

31
Q

What form of Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia) is more apparent and why?

A

often is more apparent in chronic form on premises where there is continuous flow production and management, and where husbandry and environmental conditions are poor

32
Q

When do we commonly see Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia) in terms of stage of the pig?

A

affects pigs early after weaning but more common during growing and finishing phases

33
Q

Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia) often interacts and contributes to other respiratory diseases and is considered to have a central role in this disease?

A

porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC)

Potentiates other infections but can cause diseases on its own

34
Q

What are the two other pathogenic mycoplasmas are recognized in swine:

A
  • Mycoplasma hyosynoviae

* Mycoplasma hyorhinis

35
Q

Name the one of the 2 other pathogenic mycoplasmas that causes a infection is common and it causes fibrinous polyserositis in young pigs

A

Mycoplasma hyorhinis

36
Q

Name the one of the 2 other pathogenic mycoplasmas that is a sporadic cause of epidemic synovitis in growing swine.

A

Mycoplasma hyosynoviae

37
Q

Describe the epidemiological transit of Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia) ? Which pig is the most common source of infection

A

carrier swine are the most common source of infection,

does not survive long in environment, Poor air quality (dust or noxious gases) a risk factor, isolated from nasal secretions so transmission by nose-to-nose contact and coughing are likely, also aerosols

38
Q

What are the clinical signs of Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia)?

A

chronic, persistent, nonproductive cough (usually persistent), dyspnea, growth retardation and reduced feed efficiency, high morbidity and low mortality

39
Q

How do we control Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia)?

A

proper biosecurity, depop and repop with negative stock, all in all out, vaccination, early weaning

40
Q

How do we TREAT Mycoplasmal Pneumonia (Enzootic Pneumonia)?

A

Mostly in water or feed: lincomycin, tiamulin, tetracyclines, tylosin, tilmicosin, tulathromycin, enrofloxacin

41
Q

Name the infectious disease of pigs, often acute, characterized by various combinations of meningoencephalitis, polyserositis and polyarthritis as well as a contributor to bacterial pneumonia

A

Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease)

42
Q

What age does Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease) affect?

A

occurs sporadically among swine herds and is usually observed in three week to four month-old pigs

43
Q

When do we often see Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease) after what occurs?

A

often occurs subsequent to stressful events such as weaning, changes in environment, commingling, or as coinfection with other disease agents

44
Q

How many serovars are there of Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease)?

A

21 serovars have been identified, some more pathogenic than others. Cross protection occurs but is incomplete

45
Q

Where can we isolate Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease in the pig?

A

often can be isolated from the nasal cavity or tonsil of normal pigs

46
Q

Describe the affect of Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease and neonates and their exposure and protection?

A

Neonatal pigs are exposed to and colonized by the organism early in life but
protected by colostral antibodies.

47
Q

__________ is widely distributed in the swine population and usually causes NO DISEASE

A

H. parasuis

48
Q

What are the CS of Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease?

A

Clinical signs: usually sudden onset in best conditioned pigs, sudden death, signs depend on affected organs.

septicemia or myositis related signs. Less frequent signs in all swine include rhinitis, dyspnea, reddening of the conjunctiva, cyanosis of the extremities and edema of the eyelids or ears

49
Q

What are the CNS CS of Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease?

A

fever, anorexia depression followed by tremors, incoordination, posterior paresis or lateral recumbency

50
Q

What are the joint related CS of Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease?

A

swollen leg joints, in some outbreaks arthritis predominates

51
Q

Describe the mortality and morbidity of Haemophilus parasuis Glasser’s Disease in untreated pigs?

A

Normally low morbidity but high mortality in untreated pigs

52
Q

What is the most important differential with Haemophilus parasuis Glasser’s Disease?

A

Streptococcus suis

53
Q

How do we control Haemophilus parasuis Glasser’s Disease?

A

sound husbandry, control of primary diseases such as PRRSV, prophylactic antimicrobials, or vaccination, acclimatization and vaccination of breeding stock, minimize stress during weaning and in nursery.

54
Q

How do we TREAT Haemophilus parasuis Glasser’s Disease?

A

sensitive to many antibiotics and sulfonamides
