Swine Dysentery: Aetiology, Pathogenicity, Determinants of Transmission and the Fight against the Disease

[EN] Swine Dysentery (SD) is a severe mucohaemorhagic enteric disease of pigs caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, which has a large impact on pig production and causes important losses due to mortality and sub-optimal performance. Although B. hyodysenteriae has been traditionally considered a path...
