| experimental challenge of mallards (anas platyrhynchos) with brachyspira hyodysenteriae and "brachyspira suanatina" isolated from pigs and mallards. | brachyspira hyodysenteriae, the aetiological agent of swine dysentery, and a recently proposed and closely related enteropathogenic spirochaete "brachyspira suanatina", originally isolated from pigs or mallards (anas platyrhynchos), were used to inoculate week-old mallard ducklings orally or cloacally. the colonization rate, clinical outcome, faecal dry matter content, blood leucocyte counts and gross, microscopical and electron microscopical features 14-16 days post-inoculation were investigate ... | 2009 | 19640549 |
| brachyspira suanatina sp. nov., an enteropathogenic intestinal spirochaete isolated from pigs and mallards: genomic and phenotypic characteristics. | the genus brachyspira currently encompasses seven valid species that colonize the intestines of mammals and birds. in a previous study a group of strongly haemolytic isolates from pigs and mallards was provisionally described as a new species within genus brachyspira, "b. suanatina", and enteropathogenic properties were demonstrated in a porcine challenge model. | 2015 | 26458507 |
| an investigation into the etiological agents of swine dysentery in australian pig herds. | swine dysentery (sd) is a mucohemorrhagic colitis, classically seen in grower/finisher pigs and caused by infection with the anaerobic intestinal spirochete brachyspira hyodysenteriae. more recently, however, the newly described species brachyspira hampsonii and brachyspira suanatina have been identified as causing sd in north america and/or europe. furthermore, there have been occasions where strains of b. hyodysenteriae have been recovered from healthy pigs, including in multiplier herds with ... | 2016 | 27907102 |
| brachyspira hyodysenteriae isolated from apparently healthy pig herds following an evaluation of a prototype commercial serological elisa. | swine dysentery (sd) is a disease mainly of grower/finisher pigs characterised by severe mucohaemorrhagic colitis. the classical aetiological agent is the anaerobic intestinal spirochaete brachyspira hyodysenteriae, although "brachyspira hampsonii" and brachyspira suanatina also cause sd. this study reports on the unexpected isolation of b. hyodysenteriae from pigs in apparently healthy herds that gave positive reactions when tested with a prototype commercial serological elisa for detecting her ... | 2016 | 27374902 |
| swine dysentery. | swine dysentery is a severe enteric disease in pigs, which is characterized by bloody to mucoid diarrhea and associated with reduced growth performance and variable mortality. this disease is most often observed in grower-finisher pigs, wherein susceptible pigs develop a significant mucohemorrhagic typhlocolitis following infection with strongly hemolytic spirochetes of the genus brachyspira. while swine dysentery is endemic in many parts of the world, the disease had essentially disappeared in ... | 2017 | 27288432 |
