  2. General introduction

  3. Endemic Pneumonia • App- continual outbreaks, chronic pleuropneumonia • Sometimes other bacteria as well • Enzootic Pneumonia • Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae • Pasteurella multocida • Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex • All of the above (especially M. hyo) • PRRSV • SIV • Others: PCV2, PRV, H. parasuis, S. suis,

  4. Diagnostics • Gross pathology: APP versus all others • APP & A. suis vs. others • Organism identification • Culture • FA • PCR • IHC: immunohistochemistry (with histopath) • Fixed tissue, easy sample preservation • Histopath • Prove disease, organism presence is insufficient

  5. Question: Is this mycoplasma?

  6. Diagnostics • Serology: serological profiling • Timing of infection but not necessarily timing of disease • Sampling issues • Tissue preservation in formalin • Buffered • Multiple sites • <1cm tissue thickness • Number of animals • Example on next slide • Sick (necropsy) versus healthy (slaughter checks)

  7. Diagnostic Sampling Strategies • Small numbers of pigs will result in missed diagnosis • PRDC case: 21 pigs submitted for necropsy • Pathology/microbiology: • No lesions =5 Gastric ulcer = 2 • PMWS = 5 PRRSV = 2 • SIV? = 1 APP? = 3 (non-typeable) • P. mult. = 2 Bordetella = 2 • Strep suis = 1 M. hyo = 8 • Serology: M. hyo+, SIV+, PRRSV (late +) • Slaughter check: Low average percent pneumonia, a few pigs severe

  8. Diagnostic Considerations: Value of Tests • Laboratory tests should fit with clinical observations • Pigs cough: Pursue rule-outs (M. hyo, influenza) • Pigs grow slowly without overt disease - diets/environment? • Specific versus non-specific tests • Necropsy and slaughter exams (disease severity) • Laboratory tests (agent identification) • Record analysis (rarely identifies a specific cause) • Documenting management activities • “Gum shoe” approach • One revealing observation is often worth more than 100 serological tests • SOP vs. Actual

  9. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

  10. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae • Primary cause of enzootic pneumonia • Most herds are infected except SPF herds • Transmission is via aerosol • Air is PCR positive • Difficult to prevent between herd spread • Disease often manifested in finishing • Organism very slow to grow (weeks) • A few get infected from sows  spreads slowly through nursery pigs • Lateral transmission from older pigs

  11. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae • Diagnosis • Clinical signs: only cough 10 days after challenge • Severe sickness with infection of SPF herds? • Mild - minimal consequence in otherwise disease free pigs • Macroscopic lesions • Anterior-ventral consolidation • Not specific to M. hyo

  12. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

  13. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae • Diagnosis • Histopathology: • peribronchiolarlymphocytic cuffing • Organism ID • FA- need fresh tissue, approx. 50% sensitivity • Culture - slow grow, overgrowth by M. hyorhinis • PCR - “It’s everywhere” • IHC • Serology: several ELISA’s available • Vaccination will also induce titers that persist for a short time

  14. Mycoplasma Vaccination • Second most common vaccine used in growing pigs • Common in population • Potentiator of other respiratory disease • Issues • Mandatory (?) in herds with continuous flow, multiple rooms within the same building, virulent PRRSV • One vs. two dose products • Use one dose in “controlled” situations or if labor is a big concern • Two doses will almost always be better • Start early (3weeks) • Product cost is usually equal • Many combine with PCV2 vaccination

  15. Mycoplasma Vaccination • Maternal antibody interference • Probably will not interfere with vaccine induced protection • No real reason to vaccinate sows pre-farrow • Only vaccinate gilts before entering herd • PRRS eradication  Mycoplasma eradication • Consider where pigs will be grown and finished • May still need to vaccinate pigs

  16. M. hyo Treatment plan • Antibiotics? • Now • Earlier • Routes • Water • Feed • Injectable • Control other diseases • Vaccination • Other groups • Timing – watch for PRRS seroconversion

  17. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)

  18. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) • Cause of contagious pleuropneumonia • Transmission by close contact and short distance aerosols • Many pigs harbor organism in upper airways • Clinical disease occurs with environmental stress in many cases • Malfunctioning curtain controller  temperature fluctuation  organism gains entrance to lung  severe (bad), rapidly developing necrotizing and hemorrhagic pneumonia with pleuritis

  19. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) • Clinical signs • Sudden death • Sudden onset of rapid, deep breathing • Minimal cough (not an airway irritant) • Fever initially or if mild-to-moderate; subnormal in severely affected pigs • Hemoptosis and blood from nostrils in agonal phase (euthanize if possible) • Mortality can reach 10% of barn in one day • Pigs quit eating AND DRINKING

  20. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) • Post-mortem lesions • Necrotizing, hemorrhagic, usually multi-focal pneumonia • Pleuritis will be present if pig survives for at least 18 hours after challenge • Similar lesions can be seen with Actinobacillus suis • If APP  mass treatment via injection often indicated; other types of pneumonia treated less aggressively; can’t wait for test results to start therapy

  21. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP)

  22. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) • Diagnosis • Initially: clinical signs and gross pathology • Culture: isolation followed by capsular serotyping • Some relationship between capsular serotype and virulence: Type 1’s are worst; followed by 5’s • USA: 1, 5, 7 and 3 are most common (odd numbers) • Europe: 2 and 6 are most common • Serology • Complement fixation: recent infection • ELISA’s: capsule, endotoxin, cross-reactivity problems • Hemolysin neutralization: cross-reactions with A. suis

  23. APP Vaccination • Most commercial vaccines are bacterins • Administer 2X at 2-4 week interval prior to finishing • Capsular serotypes must be matched • Use autogenous vaccines if: • Commercial vaccines don’t contain the correct serotype • May have within serotype heterogeneity • Marginally effective: lack ApX toxins which are the main virulence factors for causing disease • Side effect potential: • Injection site reactions • Fever, off-feed, reduced daily gain

  24. APP Vaccination • Newer vaccines • Capsular deficient mutant (MLV): BINOBL • Given IM • Frozen product: order, shipped on dry ice, use immediately • Limited replication at injection site • Sufficient production of ApX toxins to induce a protective immune response • Riboflavin deficient mutant • Not commercially available • Knock out riboflavin synthetase • Add riboflavin to organism and inject IM

  25. APP Treatment Plan • Antibiotics • YES!! ASAP • INJECTABLE • Water • Feed • Duration of treatment • Ventilation • Vaccination ? • Different source of pigs

  26. Actinobacillus suis

  27. Actinobacillus suis • Will behave like APP but less severe and short term • Problem with “healthier” herds • Generalized septicemia like H. parasuis, erysipelas • Produces Type I hemolysin • No commercial vaccines available • Autogenous vaccines used in refractory cases

  28. A. suis Treatment Plan • Antibiotics • APP vs A. suis need immediate action • Sources • Injectable • Water • Feed ??? • Correct diagnosis is critical • Vaccination with autogenous??

  29. Pasteurella multocida

  30. Pasteurella multocida Pneumonia • Not a primary cause of pneumonia • Experimental infection only with active M. hyo infection present • “Fuzzy thinking”: not important because secondary pathogen but primary causes are nearly always present!! • Medication of pigs with non-App pneumonia is mostly directed at P. multocida • Acute swine influenza outbreaks • Enzootic pneumonia or PRDC • Environmental mishaps

  31. Pasteurella multocida Pneumonia • Little known about pathogenesis • Studies just beginning • Generally Type A, non-AR toxin producing • Normal inhabitant of upper airways • Can cause pleuritis • Diagnosis • Culture and sensitivity • Sort out primary causes

  32. P. multocida Treatment Plan • Antibiotics • Injectable • Water • Feed • Environment – Ventilation • Address other diseases • PRRS • Mycoplasma • Etc.

  33. Atrophic Rhinitis(AR)

  34. Atrophic Rhinitis • Bordetella bronchiseptica • Causes atrophic rhinitis • Enables P. multocida to colonize nasal epithelium • Pasteurella multocida • Causes progressive atrophic rhinitis • Produces AR toxin (dermatonecrotoxin) • Highly potent: inject small quantity  turbinate atrophy • Mainly capsular Type D but also Type A

  35. Atrophic Rhinitis • Clinical signs • Deviated snout: side ways or pushed up • Tear staining at medial canthus • Sneezing • Bleeding from nostrils • Lesions • Turbinate atrophy: primarily ventral scroll of ventral turbinate • Septal deviation

  36. Atrophic Rhinitis

  37. Atrophic Rhinitis • Severity influenced by: • Air quality and environment; especially in nurseries • Genetics • Yorkshires more susceptible to developing severe lesions • Age of sow herd: immunity of dams • Colostral antibody levels • Level of shedding  vertical transmission • Age at infection • Weaning age: <14 days eliminates vertical transmission

  38. Atrophic Rhinitis • Stepwise approach • Sow vaccination pre-farrowing • Gilts pre-breeding is always recommended • LA200 (200 mg/ml oxytetracycline) to piglets • 15 mg/# dose • 1, 7, 14, 21 days or 1, 7-10, weaning • Naxcel (2 mg/# dose) instead of LA200 • No benefit against Bordetella bronchiseptica • Vaccinate pigs • Two doses: 7 days and weaning • One dose: weaning

  39. AR Treatment Plan • Antibiotics • Water • Feed • Injectable • Prevention • Antibiotics • Vaccination • Environment

  40. Psuedorabies(Aujesky’s or PRV)

  41. Pseudorabies Virus • Eradicated from the USA commercial herds in late 2003 to early 2004 • Respiratory disease in any age pigs in addition to CNS signs in neonates and reproductive disease in sows • Occasional necrotic rhinitis  crusty nose and nasal discharge • Important rule-out (along with SIV and PRRS) for sow herd off-feed • Will have fever

  42. PRV Vaccination • Vaccines were highly effective • Regulatory based vaccination in Stage II areas • Vaccinated sow herd 4 times per year- IM • Vaccinated pigs once IM by 12 weeks of age • In herds with active infections • Vaccinated pigs at birth intra-nasally • Used vaccines that were approved for IN use, must replicate in the nasal epithelium to be effective • Vaccinated pigs twice IM • Vaccine reduced shedding in individual pigs • Can stop shedding on a population basis

  43. PRV Eradication • Blanket vaccination to reduce/eliminate shedding and transmission • Improve internal biosecurity • AIAO production • People, equipment movement • Improve external biosecurity • Hog truck sanitation • Monitor closely via serology to determine where failure (active infection) is occurring

  44. Other Viruses

  45. Other Viruses • PRCV • Mild respiratory disease in young pigs • Natural deletion mutant of TGE virus • Can’t attach to intestinal epithelium • Significance ????? • Test cross reacts with TGE • Inclusion body rhinitis • Porcine cytomegalovirus • Common disease in early nursery pigs • High pitched sneezing • Minimal clinical impact if no other problems • Severely affected will develop necrotic rhinitis

  46. Other bacteria

  47. Other bacteria • Will be discussed in other sections • Salmonella cholerasuis • Interstitial pneumonia – Wet lung • Septicemia – purple pigs • +/- diarrhea • Steptococcus suis • Cranioventral consolidation • Haemophilus parasuis

  48. Agents Discussed in future

  49. Swine Influenza(SIV)

  50. Swine Influenza Virus (SIV) • Type A influenza virus • H1N1: traditional strain in US • H3N2: new strain in US 1998 • Present in Europe for many years • Some evidence for presence in US before • Spread throughout country in 2-3 years • H1N2: Detected in Indiana 1999 • Combination of H1N1 and H3N2 • Others: Exposure to water fowl  outbreak limited to a one or a few herds
