1
Swine diseases
2
Mange: Sarcoptes scabei var suis Greasy pig disease: Staphylococcus hyicus: Gram-positive coccus Swine pox: Swine pox virus Erysipelas: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae: Gram-positive, aerobic, slightly bent, thin bacillus
3
Sarcoptes scabei var suis (not zoonotic) represents the most important ectoparasitic disease of swine nursery or grower pigs
4
Clinical signs intense pruritus, lichenification, papules, crusts poor production susceptible to other diseases
6
Diagnosis - clinical signs, skin scrape Treatment and control, acaricide (amitraz) topically, ivermectin injection 0.5 mm in length, gray to white, and just visible to the naked eye when on a black background ova, larvae, nymphs, adults develop in the epidermis Place the scraping on a piece of black paper for a few minutes. Then carefully blow off the superficial debris and examine the site on the paper for the small, light colored mites.
7
Exudative dermatitis Staphylococcus hyicus: Gram-positive coccus Affects late preweaning pigs: few days to about eight weeks of age
8
Clinical signs exfoliation of skin, excess sebaceous secretion pruritis not a feature unless complicated my mange Diagnosis - clinical signs and culture or histopathology Sebaceous glands secrete excessively and there is accumulation of greasy exudate over lesions
9
Treatment: frustrating Injectible penicllin, oxytetracyline Tetracyclines in feed Topicals: 10% bleach, chlorhexidine, Virkon® (Durvet) or dilute tamed iodine Control Sanitation: sanitation for pregnant sows, especially in housing, and washing of sows may be of value Control external parasites Good nutrition
10
Swine pox virus ◦ Poxviridae family Only pigs less than 4months old
11
Clinical signs papules 1-6 mm in diameter pustules, crusts clear spontaenously “round to oval cutaneous lesions that heal in three to four weeks” Diagnosis - clinical signs, biopsy intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies Treatment - not necessary: herd immunity
12
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae ◦ Gram-positive, aerobic, slightly bent, thin bacillus Diamond skin disease: zoonotic pigs 3months - 3years old
13
Clinical signs widespread ecchymotic hemorrhages due to microthrombi arthritis, endocarditis
14
Diagnosis Diamond skin lesions pathognomonic Culture of blood, joints, lung, liver Treatment Penicillin is the drug of choice Control General sanitation Bacterins or attenuated live vaccines
15
Swine lice: louse, Pediculosis Baby piglet anemia
16
Haematopinus suis: zoonotic, 6 mm long (largest louse) Lifecycle ◦ sucking louse (anemia) ◦ entire LC on host Indicator of poor management
17
Clinical signs pruritis (mild), anemia, poor growing Diagnosis visible to naked eye Treatment - same as for mange
18
Iron deficiency Piglets iron demand is greater than the sows milk (15-50%) Pigs raised in the outdoors may not need iron Vit E/ selenium deficiency : Fe toxicity !!
19
Clinical signs anemia within 2-3 days of birth dyspnea, edema, pale skin, lethargy Diagnosis - clinical signs, CBC Treatment - 200mg iron dextran at 1-3 days of age
20
Africa Swine Fever Foot and mouth disease Hog cholera / classical swine fever Swine vesicular disease Malignant catarrhal fever
21
Virus family Flaviviridae, genus Pestivirus Highly contagious viral dz 1978: ‘hog free’ Swine and boars Direct/ uncooked meat CS: High Fever: 106-108 o F (>41 o C) Depression Conjunctivitis Constipation, then Diarrhea Skin hemorrhages/Cyanosis Stillbirths, deformities, mummies neurologic Renal petechiation
22
African swine fever genus asfivirus in the family Asfarviridae Only DNA virus ~ arbovirus hemorrhage in multiple areas: hot sick red pigs is a tick-borne (ornithodorus), contagious, febrile, systemic viral disease of swine 100% mortality No vaccine
23
1. Greatly enlarged dark red to black friable spleen 2. Enlarged hemorrhagic gastrohepatic lymph nodes 3. Enlarged hemorrhagic renal lymph nodes
24
◦ African Swine Fever pigs do not develop conjunctivitis or encephalitis ◦ Despite high fever, ASF infected pigs stay in good condition, whereas hog cholera infected pigs drastically lose weight
25
Foot and mouth disease - apthavirus* Swine vesicular disease - enterovirus Vesicular exanthema - calicivirus Vesicular stomatitis - rhabdovirus
