The major causes of diarrhea in this age group are:
● Clostridium perfringens – type A and C – 1-7 day old piglets
● Clostridium difficile – 1-2 day old piglets
● Enteric colibacillosis (E. Coli) – 1-14 day old piglets and again in first 2 weeks post weaning
● Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) – all ages
● Coccidia (Isospora suis and Eimeria spp.) – 5-15 day old piglets
● Rotavirus – all ages
● Hypoglycemia

Q

Clostridium perfringes Type A and C cause — in — age pigs

A
  • diarrhea- yellow watery, bloody
  • 1-7 days
  • slow spread with intro of new pigs
  • dark red small intestines with hemorrhage
  • type A: high morbidity and low mortality
  • type C: high morbidity and 100% death- often healthiest piglet affected
  • treatment: ineffective, antitoxins and antibiotics can be given, best is to vaccinate sows prior to birth

A

All Ages
● Caused by a coronavirus.
● May be endemic (enzootic) with low mortality/morbidity or epizootic with near 100%
mortality/morbidity in piglets less than 10 days of age.
Vomiting is often initial sign but not always present.
● Diarrhea with curds of undigested milk.
● No specific treatment. Oral hydration with electrolytes. Intestinal immunity is critical. Vaccine is available but not very effective. Biosecurity is key to prevention.

Coccidiosis in pigs affects — old pigs

A

Intestinal Coccidiosis 5-15 Days (Especially 5-7 Days)
* Isospora suis is most common. Also many Eimeria species can infect pigs.
* Fetid, yellow to white diarrhea. Also can see “sheep pellet feces”.
* Can be diagnosed by demonstration of oocysts in feces (see image) or demonstrating parasite in intestinal lesions.
* Treated with sulfamethazine or ponazuril.
* Prevention through fecal removal. Disinfection of farrowing facility is difficult due to hardy spores.

Any Age but Usually Older Pigs (2-3 Months and Up)

Q

what is taeniasis in humans

A
  • humans eating infected pork with taenia solium tapeworm
  • humans eating infected pork that is not cooked eating cysticerci. The cysticerci evaginte and attach to the small intestine. Adult tapeworms then devlop (taeniasis). This is the only way these tapeworms can complete their cycle. The tapeworms shed eggs which can be consumed by humans, but those eggs cannot complete their life cycle and turn in to tapeworms until they are consumed in cyst form. In humans, cysticerosis develops only when tapeworm eggs are ingested.
