<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p id="para33">Swine have been increasingly used in biomedical research both as general large-animal biological models in teaching and research, and for the study of specific disease conditions due to their anatomic and physiologic characteristics (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
). Textbooks specific to the use of swine as laboratory animals are available (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>

<title>Availability and Sources</title>
<p id="para37">Commercial breeds of domestic swine raised for meat production are readily available worldwide. There is a wide variability in the health status of the various herds. In the United States the designation SPF (specific pathogen-free) has a proprietary connotation. It is a program based on management procedures that reduce or eliminate diseases that stunt growth. Pigs designated SPF are a good source for biomedical research; however, it must be remembered that the designation does not mean that the animals are completely free of diseases that may interfere with research. It is best to buy animals from a herd in which the institutional veterinarian has screened for complicating diseases. Commercial breeds have limited availability from commercial suppliers of laboratory animals (<xref rid="bib248" ref-type="bibr">Saffron and Gonder, 1997</xref>
; <xref rid="bib282" ref-type="bibr">Swindle <italic>et al.,</italic>
1994</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para38">When using domestic breeds of swine, the growth factors are a major consideration. Swine reach sexual maturity and a commercial slaughter weight of approximately 250–280 kg at 5–6 months of age. At birth, swine weigh approximately 3 kg (average); consequently, there is an exponential growth phase during the adolescent period. Most swine used in research programs are 15–30 kg and are 8–12 weeks of age. Weight gain during this period may be 2–5 kg per week. When selecting a model, the age and maturity factors must also be considered. Consequently, domestic swine are rarely used for long-term projects unless the study includes the effect of growth and maturity factors or the animals are involved in agricultural research. Generally, most projects involving a length of > 3 weeks would best be performed in miniature swine (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
; <xref rid="bib282" ref-type="bibr">Swindle <italic>et al.,</italic>
1994</xref>
; <xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para39">Miniature swine are available from commercial breeders of laboratory animals. Commonly used breeds include Yucatan, Hanford, Sinclair, Hormel, and Gottingen. Other breeds of miniature pigs are available in limited quantities from some market areas and include the Panepinto, Vietnamese potbellied, Ohmini, Pitman-Moore, and Chinese dwarf. Generally, the health status of these animals is higher than that of SPF animals, and they are suitable for most biomedical research projects. These animals range from 30 to 50 kg in body weight at sexual maturity and, consequently, are more amenable than larger commercial breeds to long-term projects (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
; <xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>

<title>Laboratory Management and Husbandry</title>
<p id="para40">Individual shipments of swine are best separated by time and distance and in particular, mixing animals from multiple vendors is poor practice. Swine should be purchased from vendor herds that are validated brucellosis-free and qualified pseudorabies-negative by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Commercial sources typically implement a vaccination and parasite-control program beginning at weaning age and dependent on the intended experimental use of the animal, such efforts may or may not need additional attention at the research facility. Quality source herds will worm piglets at 4- to 6-week intervals and administer preventive treatments for ectoparasites.</p>
<p id="para41">Weanling animals are commonly vaccinated against erysipelas and leptospirosis, and breeding-herd animals should be vaccinated in addition against porcine parvovirus, <italic>Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida,</italic>
and <italic>Escherichia coli.</italic>
Newly received animals should be given a minimum of 72 hr to adjust to the new environment during which time physical exams and screening tests for parasites can be performed. Diet changes should be gradual over several days, with fiber increased if stress-induced diarrhea develops. Adult swine that are housed long-term should have, at a minimum, periodic physical exams that include weight and parasite checks. Vaccination programs for adult swine should be implemented based on risk assessment that considers how the animal will be used in research, what the housing conditions are, and how close the research herd is to new animals of uncertain health status. Ideally, pigs should be purchased from one source of established health status to take advantage of natural herd immunity. The value of good herd health management is illustrated by the observation that swine herds that maintain specific pathogen-free status have an odds ratio of 0.2 relative to that of conventional herds for the development of diarrhea (<xref rid="bib188" ref-type="bibr">Moller <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para42">Swine are best housed in pens rather than cages. Pens may be constructed of either chain-link fencing or stainless steel or aluminum bars. Wood is best avoided because of pigs’ ability to chew it and the difficulty of sanitation. The chosen material should be of sturdy construction because swine can be very destructive. It is best to provide them with indestructible toys or balls to preoccupy them and to satisfy their rooting instincts (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para43">Flooring for swine deserves special consideration. Smooth flooring, such as seamless epoxy, is best avoided. Swine have difficulty with firm footing on these floors, especially when the floors are wet. If contact flooring is used, it should either have a rough surface to provide traction and provide wear on the hooves or it should be covered with deep wood-chip bedding. Wood-chip bedding keeps swine clean and satisfies their rooting instinct. However, wood-chip bedding is eaten by swine, especially when they are fasted. Raised flooring has been found to be satisfactory in many laboratory situations. Plastic-coated metal grids are sturdy and easy to sanitize. However, if a cut becomes apparent in the plastic, swine will strip the flooring and eat the plastic. Slatted fiberglass floors with grit to provide hoof wear are generally ideal in most situations. They are lightweight and easy to remove from pens for sanitation (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para44">Swine readily use automatic watering systems. The system should be checked daily to ensure that the water supply is functional because swine are susceptible to “salt poisoning,” which results in a neurologic syndrome when they are deprived of water. Food dishes should be secured to the cage or flooring. Swine will tip movable dishes and lose their feed, especially on raised flooring. They will also chew their feeders, which are best made of an indestructible material such as stainless steel (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para45">Swine prefer to have contact with other members of their species. They may be housed together in groups, but dominance fighting will occur unless animals are socialized. This social instinct may also be satisfied by providing cage walls that allow visual and snout contact between animals (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
; <xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>
; <xref rid="bib213" ref-type="bibr">Panepinto, 1986</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para46">Swine can be restrained in slings, such as the Panepinto sling (<xref rid="bib214" ref-type="bibr">Panepinto <italic>et al.,</italic>
1983</xref>
). This method of humane restraint is preferable to agricultural methods such as snout tying. Small swine can also be restrained manually in a manner similar to that of dogs. Swine may be trained to walk on a leash and can also be restrained against the side of the cage with movable handheld panels (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para47">Intramuscular injections may be administered in the neck or hindlimb. Venous access sites include the following veins: auricular, cephalic, external and internal jugular, precava, lateral saphenous, cranial abdominal, and femoral (<xref rid="f1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>

). Most of the peripheral vessels are deep and not visible; consequently, a knowledge of their anatomic location is essential. Most of the vessels can be accessed with standard-sized needles and a 20-gauge 1.5-inch needle is the largest size that will be required in swine up to 50 kg (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>

<title>Use in Research</title>
<p id="para49">Swine have been used mainly for research involving the cardiovascular system because of their unique anatomy and physiology, which makes them similar to humans (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
; <xref rid="bib274" ref-type="bibr">Stanton and Mersmann, 1986</xref>
). Cardiovascular diseases of interest include atherosclerosis, coronary arterial stenosis and infarction, congenital heart disease, volume- and pressure-overload heart failure, electrophysiology, and testing of grafts, stents, and interventional devices. Swine are uniquely susceptible to atherosclerosis, which may be induced by feeding of cholesterol and fat-enhanced diets. A more rapid form of atherosclerosis may be induced by damaging the endothelium with a balloon catheter. The induced form has the advantage of producing a lesion in a specific anatomic region. Genetic models of high membranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) and von Willebrand's disease are also available (<xref rid="bib283" ref-type="bibr">Swindle <italic>et al.,</italic>
1996</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para50">Nutritional and gastrointestinal models in swine are studied because of the physiology of their digestion, which is similar to that of humans, and their omnivorous diet. Areas studied include nutrient absorption and growth, gastrointestinal transport, hepatic metabolism, total parenteral nutrition, and necrotizing enterocolitis.</p>
<p id="para51">Renal diseases are another area of interest in research. Swine have been used in studies of renal hypertension, vesicoureteral reflux, intrarenal reflux, and urinary obstruction.</p>
<p id="para52">Swine have been increasingly used in research and teaching studies that involve surgery, both as a substitute for dogs and as a model based on physiologic characteristics (<xref rid="bib278" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1986</xref>
). Swine are the model of choice for most of the laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures because of their size and anatomy. Catheter delivery of interventional devices has also been studied extensively in swine. Transplantation research has been performed on heart, lung, liver, kidney, and viscera. The size of the organs, the surgical anatomy, and response to immunosuppressive therapy make them ideal for many of these studies. Swine are being developed as models and donors for xenotransplantation, which has included the development of transgenic strains (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
a). The anatomic and physiologic characteristics of the skin have made swine a definitive plastic surgical model. Swine have also been developed as models in a wide variety of other surgical procedures, including fetal surgery and procedures in the musculoskeletal, central nervous, gastrointestinal, urogenital, and cardiopulmonary systems.</p>
<p id="para53">Many other biological models have been developed in swine, including the areas of systemic and dermal toxicology, septic and hemorrhagic shock, immunology, diabetes, malignant melanoma, malignant hyperthermia, and gastric ulceration. An exhaustive list of all the developed and potential models in swine is beyond the scope of this chapter. Extensive reviews of that information may be found in general reference and proceedings books.</p>

<title>Unique Physiologic Characteristics and Attributes</title>
<p id="para54">References with complete descriptions of swine anatomy and physiology are available (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
). However, some of the unique characteristics of swine will be covered in this section.</p>
<p id="para55">The cardiovascular system is similar to that of humans, especially the coronary anatomy (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
). The blood supply from the coronary artery is right-side dominant and does not have preexisting collateral circulation. This makes the coronary blood flow situation similar to 90% of that of the human population, unlike that in other species such as the dog. The electrophysiologic system is more neurogenic than myogenic, and there are prominent Purkinje fibers. The left azygous (hemiazy-gous) vein drains the intercostal vessels into the coronary sinus unlike in most other species. This vessel may be ligated or blocked with a balloon catheter to provide total coronary venous drainage into the coronary sinus. The aorta has a true vaso vasorum like that of humans.

<p id="para56">The gastrointestinal tract has unique anatomic characteristics (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
). The stomach has a muscular outpouching, the torus pyloricus, near the pylorus. The bile duct and pancreatic duct enter the duodenum separately in the proximal portion. The anatomic divisions between the duodenum, ileum, and jejunum are indistinct. The mesentery is thin and friable. The mesenteric branches form their vascular arcades in the sub-serosa rather than in the mesentery as in other species. The majority of the large intestine is arranged in a spiral colon in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. This series of centrifugal and centripetal coils includes the cecum and ascending, transverse, and majority of the descending colon. Tenia and haustra are present on the cecum and large intestine. In spite of the anatomic differences from humans, the physiology of digestion and intestinal transport are very similar.</p>
<p id="para57">Other unique anatomic features need to be considered (<xref rid="bib280" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1998</xref>
). The lymph nodes are inverted with the germinal centers being located in the internal portion of the node. The thymus is located on the ventral midline of the trachea near the thoracic inlet rather than proximal to the larynx. A major portion of the thymus is located in the neck, and the single pair of parathyroid glands is located in the medial aspect of the proximal portion of this gland. The penis is fibromuscular with a corkscrew-shaped tip located in a preputial diverticulum near the umbilicus. The penis has a sigmoid flexure. The male accessory glands include the ductus deferens, prostate, vesicular gland, and bulbourethral gland. The female reproductive system is bicornuate with lengthy tortoras fallopian tubes. The pancreas is bilobed and surrounds and encompasses the superior mesenteric vein. The liver is divided into lobules by microscopic fibrous septae. The cytochrome P450 system is similar to that in humans.</p>

<title>Nutrition</title>
<p id="para58">A comprehensive text on swine nutrition has been published (<xref rid="bib162" ref-type="bibr">Lewis and Southern, 2000</xref>
). There is considerable variation of the genetic capacity for accretion of lean body mass among the various breeds of swine utilized in biomedical research. The “farm swine” include breeds developed for meat production and at 6 months of age may have a lean body weight 5- to 6-fold greater than that of a micropig breed. The published research on swine nutrition is focused on farm swine and maximization of lean growth (<xref rid="cetable3" ref-type="table">Table III</xref>
). The majority of mini- and microswine nutritional research is proprietary and is reflected in the commercially available formulations offered by feed companies. In general, the nutrient requirements of these breeds are similar; however, the small breeds often require fixed-quantity feeding to control obesity, especially for long-term research studies. This in turn necessitates a higher margin of safety for many nutrient concentrations to prevent deficiencies, since most commercially available diets are designed for free-choice feeding. Diets formulated for the mini- and microbreeds generally have lower-energy and higher-fiber concentrations. The daily energy (<xref rid="f10" ref-type="fig">Fig. 10</xref>
) and quantity of feed (<xref rid="f11" ref-type="fig">Fig. 11</xref>
) required by farm pigs will predispose the mini- and microbreeds to obesity.<table-wrap position="float" id="cetable3"><label>Table III</label>

<p id="para59">One nutrient requirement that is particularly important for newborn piglets is iron. Nursing piglets require 21 mg of iron for each kilogram of growth (<xref rid="bib201" ref-type="bibr">National Research Council [NRC], 1998</xref>
), and sow's milk contains approximately 1 mg of iron per liter (<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Brady <italic>et al.,</italic>
1978</xref>
). Therefore, a microcytic, hypochromic anemia can develop. Nursing piglets can obtain some additional iron if allowed access to the feces of the sow; however, deficiency is still a common clinical problem. Consequently, it is routine practice in most swine herds to give 100–200 mg of iron dextran IM within 48 hr of farrowing to prevent iron deficiency anemia.</p>
<p id="para60">Swine, unlike ruminants, do not require elemental sulfur in their diets when adequate sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cystine) are available. Sulfur is essential for synthesis of various body compounds such as taurocholic acid, chondroitin sulfate, glutathione, and lipoic acid. Methionine alone can meet the total sulfur-containing amino acid requirement in swine because cystine can be synthesized from methionine. The amino acid requirements (<xref rid="cetable3" ref-type="table">Table III</xref>
) refer to the L-isomer, which is the most biologically active form in swine and most common form found in plants and animals (<xref rid="bib200" ref-type="bibr">NRC, 1988</xref>

<title>Reproductive Physiology</title>
<p id="para61">Swine reach sexual maturity at 3–7 months of age, with most miniature breeds becoming sexually mature at 4–6 months of age. Litter size varies among breeds, with domestic swine usually having an average of 8–12 pigs per litter and miniature breeds, 4–6 pigs. Litter size also varies with parity, being smallest at the first parity, increasing to a maximum between the third and seventh paritities, and then remaining stable or decreasing (<xref rid="bib200" ref-type="bibr">Dial <bold>et al</bold>
., 1992</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para62">The average estrous cycle is 21 days with a range of 17–25 days. Estrus typically lasts 48 hr (range 1–3 days). Prior to the onset of estrus, sows will exhibit signs of vulvar reddening and swelling, mucous discharge, nervousness, and increased activity. During estrus, sows will stand immobile when pressure is applied to the rump (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
). Silent estrus is common in swine, but the presence of a boar can facilitate estrus detection (<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <bold>et al.,</bold>
1992</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para63">Optimal fertilization rates occur when insemination takes place 12 hr prior to ovulation. However, the variability in the interval between onset of estrus and ovulation makes it difficult to determine when females ovulate. As a result, commercial producers usually breed sows twice during estrus to maximize conception rates. Litter size also tends to increase with multiple matings per estrus. In pen mating, the sow and boar are left together during estrus. Hand mating involves placing the sow and boar in the same pen at 12–24 hr intervals during estrus until the female is no longer receptive (<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
). Swine may also be bred by artificial insemination; however, conception rates are typically 10–15% lower than when natural service is used. Satisfactory results are obtained if sows are inseminated 10–30 hr after the beginning of estrus (<xref rid="bib87" ref-type="bibr">Einarsson, 1980</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec11"><label>2.</label>
<title>Pregnancy</title>
<p id="para64">Failure to return to estrus 18–24 days following mating is the first sign of pregnancy. Nonestrous sows are most easily detected by daily exposure to a boar during this time. Behavioral changes are seen in only 50% of sows in the absence of a boar. In the absence of a boar, determination of pregnancy can be based on whether or not the physical and behavioral changes of estrus are observed (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
). Estrus detection has been reported to be 98% accurate and can be used to determine pregnancy status soon after failure of conception or death of a litter (<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para65">Other pregnancy-detection procedures include the use of ultrasound and hormone assays. Ultrasound is < 90% accurate and cannot be performed prior to the fourth week of gestation Amplitude-depth ultrasound units can be used to detect pregnancy reliably between 30 and 90 days and as early as 18 days with some equipment. They are handheld devices that detect interfaces between fluid and tissues, which is the reason why they lose sensitivity at either early or late gestation. Doppler ultrasonography can be used from 4 weeks until farrowing and can also be used to determine litter size as well as fetal viability in late gestation (<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
; <xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para66">Activity of the corpora lutea can be measured by progesterone assays. Progesterone concentrations of < 1 ng/ml on days 17–19 of the estrous cycle are typical of nonpregnant females. An elevated progesterone concentration on day 18 after breeding is indicative of pregnancy. Estrone sulfate assays are more accurate for determining pregnancy status than progesterone assays. Estrone sulfate, produced by the fetus, reaches peak blood levels at 23–30 days gestation (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
).</p>

<sec id="cesec12"><label>3.</label>
<title>Parturition and Neonatal Care</title>
<p id="para67">The gestation period of miniature pigs and commercial pigs is typically 114–115 days. Signs of impending parturition are usually evident during the last week of gestation. The vulva becomes swollen and more reddened during the last 3–4 days. Development and distension of individual mammary glands occur during the last 2–3 days of gestation, and drops of clear or straw-colored fluid can be expressed. This is followed by the initiation of milk secretion. Characteristically, abundant milk can be expressed at the onset of farrowing. The interval between the initiation of milk flow to parturition is typically 6–12 hr and provides a somewhat reliable sign of farrowing. Respiratory rate is most reliable. Behavioral changes occur during the 24 hr preceding farrowing and include restlessness and nesting. Frequent urination, defecation, and chewing or biting on surrounding objects may also be noted. However, just prior to birth, this activity diminishes and the sow becomes recumbent (<xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">Day, 1980</xref>
; <xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para68">Use of a farrowing crate is seldom necessary. The week prior to the anticipated farrowing date, sows should be placed in a quiet room in a stall with abundant bedding material for nest building. Wood chips are ideal for farrowing stalls since they allow the sow to engage in nesting behavior. They also help maintain the neonates’ body temperature since newborn piglets lack the ability to effectively thermoregulate. Environmental temperature should be 85°–95°F with a supplemental heat source in the stall that results in a temperature of approximately 90°F at pig level (<xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>
). Hanging heat lamps are commonly used and should be positioned to be effective without causing burns. The sow's comfort level is approximately 68°–70°F, which is the reason for having a supplemental heat source just for the neonates. Newborns should not be exposed to drafts or moisture.</p>
<p id="para69">The duration of farrowing ranges from less than 1 up to 8 hr, but typically lasts 3–4 hr. Larger litters may have a longer farrowing duration. The sow displays little physical exertion during the birth process. Sows generally remain laterally recumbent while giving birth but will occasionally change to a standing or ventrally recumbent position. The interval between the birth of piglets is typically 15 min. Assistance should be provided if more than 30–60 min elapse between the delivery of piglets (<xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">Day, 1980</xref>
; <xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Braun, 1993</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para70">The most important factors that contribute to neonatal survival are the ability of the piglets to receive colostrum within the first 12 hr of birth, adequate nutrition, and appropriate environmental conditions (<xref rid="bib231" ref-type="bibr">Reeves, 1993</xref>
). Competition is normal among littermates during nursing and can result in inadequate colostrum and milk intake in less dominant animals. Neonates will compete for, and establish, teat order on their day of birth. This hierarchy remains until weaning (<xref rid="bib256" ref-type="bibr">Sawatsky, 1993</xref>
). If necessary, the technique of split suckling can be used to ensure that all animals can nurse. This involves removing half of the litter comprising the largest piglets 3–4 times a day to allow the smaller animals to nurse adequately (<xref rid="bib231" ref-type="bibr">Reeves, 1993</xref>
; <xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
). The sow's milk supply should be checked daily to prevent piglet deaths from dysgalactia. Commercial pig milk replacers are available and should be provided to piglets by bottle or pan feeding if the sow is unable to produce an adequate milk supply.</p>
<p id="para71">Preweaning mortality is endemic in most herds, but mortality varies depending on the prevalence of the various causes, which include poor viability at birth, chilling, starvation, trauma, diarrhea, and other diseases (<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">Dial <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
). Trauma includes incidences of piglets that are stepped on, suffocated when lain on, and savaged by the female. Savaging is a behavior observed occasionally in individual animals, resulting in injury to and/or death of the piglets. The only recourse is to remove the piglets from the sow and to cull her from the breeding herd.</p>
<p id="para72">Day 1 care for piglets includes disinfection of the navel, clipping of the canine or “needle” teeth, injection of an iron supplement, identification of individual animals, weighing, and clinical exam (<xref rid="bib231" ref-type="bibr">Reeves, 1993</xref>
; <xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>
). The environmental temperature should remain at 85°–90°F for animals up to 3–4 weeks of age. Animals 4 to 8 weeks old can be housed in rooms with temperatures at 75°–80°F. Swine are generally weaned at 3–5 weeks by allowing them access to a solid ration.</p>

<sec id="cesec13"><label>D.</label>
<title>Behavior</title>
<p id="para73">Swine are highly social and intelligent animals. They have a highly developed sense of smell, but poor eyesight. Group-housed swine are frequently observed vocalizing to each other. Pigs have an innate need to root, which can become destructive if they are not provided with an adequate outlet for expression. Housing strategies should accommodate swine behavioral needs as much as possible within the constraints of experimental design. Group housing or housing 2 animals per cage can be used to allow social interactions among animals. If individual housing is necessary, cages should be close together, and their design should include openings at the bottom to facilitate contact. Providing bedding material such as wood shavings is an excellent way to satisfy pigs’ rooting behavior. Bedding material has the additional advantage of absorbing excreta but can be more labor-intensive for the husbandry staff than slatted or mesh flooring. Alternatively, a variety of toys, such as balls, chains, or hoses, can be supplied to help provide cage enrichment (<xref rid="bib256" ref-type="bibr">Sawatsky, 1993</xref>
; <xref rid="bib95" ref-type="bibr">Fisher, 1993</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para74">Swine are readily trained and respond well to positive reinforcement in contrast to conventional agricultural handling practices. This characteristic can be used to advantage in the research setting when animals must be handled or restrained for research manipulations. Acclimating and training swine to tolerate research equipment that will be used on them should be a standard procedure and can include the use of various types of food rewards given for reinforcing wanted behaviors. Gentle handling and the use of a humane restraint sling is warranted whenever swine need to be transported from their home cages or when restraint is necessary during noninvasive procedures. Many pigs respond to gentle rubbing of the ventral abdomen by rolling over onto their sides, enabling caregivers to perform such minor procedures as wound cleansing or suture removal without restraining the animals. This type of handling is very effective for positively reinforcing contact between pigs and their caretakers and has a calming effect on most animals.</p>

<title>Immunology and Use of Swine in Xenotransplantation</title>
<sec id="cesec15"><label>1.</label>
<title>Immunology</title>
<p id="para75">Swine immunology is of increasing interest because of the potential for using pigs in xenotransplantation. The comparable anatomy and physiology of the pig and the human, the availability of inbred lines with a defined health status, and the emerging abilities to genetically modify the pig to lessen the risk of rejection make it an attractive source of much-needed transplant organs. Comprehensive reviews of swine immunology (<xref rid="bib220" ref-type="bibr">Pescovitz, 1998</xref>
) and xenotransplantation (<xref rid="bib100" ref-type="bibr">Gianello <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
) have been published.</p>
<p id="para76">In comparison to those of most other mammals, cortical and medullary areas of lymph nodes have an inverted relationship, a trait shared with the elephant, rhino, dolphin, hippo, and warthog (<xref rid="bib220" ref-type="bibr">Pescovitz, 1998</xref>
). Afferent lymph percolates from the central cortex to the outer paracortex (equivalent of medulla), where cells migrate through high endothelial venules and back into the blood; thus, efferent lymph is relatively acellular. Medullary areas of the porcine lymph node are denser in cell numbers than those of most other species, being rich in macrophages, plasma cells, and eosinophils. The pig also has prominent intraluminal macrophages within respiratory airways. Similar to ruminants, pigs have two types of Peyer's patches present in the small bowel. Although there is no clearly established functional distinction, the multiple (20 ±) discrete Peyer's patches found in the jejunum contain B and T cells, while the singular long ileal Peyer's patch contains B cells almost exclusively (<xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Barman <italic>et al.,</italic>
1997</xref>
). Due to a relative lack of specific antibodies, identification of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers to phenotype lymphocyte subsets has lagged such studies of the mouse and the human. Two International Swine Cluster of Differentiation Workshops have been held for comparison of novel antibodies to swine CD antigens and cross-reactive antibodies available from mouse and human studies (<xref rid="bib245" ref-type="bibr">Saalmuller <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). Many homologous CD markers have now been identified, and a limited number are available commercially from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, Virginia) and Pharmingen, Inc. (San Diego, California). A monoclonal antiporcine CD3 antibody has been identified that is capable of activating or depleting T cells <italic>in vitro</italic>
and inducing an immunosuppressive state <italic>in vivo,</italic>
which will greatly facilitate studies of the swine immune system, in particular, induction of tolerance in xenotransplantation research (<xref rid="bib130" ref-type="bibr">Huang <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). Bone marrow of swine is more similar to that of humans than of rodents in toxicity response to lethal irradiation, allowing studies that have demonstrated the benefit of T-cell depletion of donor tissues in preventing graft-versus-host disease.</p>
<p id="para77">Normative data for the swine immune system, such as lymphoid tissue weights and percentages of cell subsets represented in different tissues, are influenced by the animal health status, as data derived from animals of conventional health status (i.e., farm environments) differ significantly from data derived from those housed under specific pathogen–free, gnotobiotic, or axenic conditions. The pig has a large population of what were initially considered as “null” cells, lacking expression of CD2, CD4, or CD8, but now known to express CD3, classifying them as T cells. This lymphoid population is largely γδ T cells and is found in large numbers in various tissues, especially mucosal sites, as in ruminants (<xref rid="bib70" ref-type="bibr">Davis <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). Expression of CD4 (T helper) and CD8 (T cytotoxic or T suppressor) is mutually exclusive in most species, but swine have a unique lymphocyte subset that expresses both CD4 and CD8 (Thome <italic>et al.,</italic>
1994).
This subset may represent a type of memory cell or a lineage that differentiates into CD4<sup>+</sup>
CD8<sup>−</sup>
, since CD8 expression is low and the CD8 dimer, normally αβ in chain structure, is αα in these cells.</p>
<p id="para78">Immunoglobulins (Ig) of the pig are the most studied of those in farm species (reviewed in <xref rid="bib207" ref-type="bibr">Ober <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). There is no transplacental transfer of maternal immunity; thus, neonates are colostrum-dependent. Access to IgG-rich colostrum within the first 6 hr postpartum is most critical for 3-week survival rate and weight gain. Colostral leukocytes, largely neutrophils and T cells, are also absorbed by intercellular migration. Intestinal closure for absorption of colostrum is complete by 24 to 48 hr of age. In contrast to most other species, the pig lacks the gene for IgD, which is a precursor immunoglobulin in the differentiation pathway to IgM. The pig does have a large number of IgG subclasses: IgG<sub>1;</sub>
IgG<sub>2a</sub>
, IgG<sub>2b</sub>
, IgG<sub>3</sub>
, and IgG<sub>4</sub>
. Immunoglobulin A circulates as a dimer in blood and tissues and as a monomer in mucosal secretions; IgE is found in serum and mucosal tissues. High endothelial venules of transplanted swine tissues express adhesion molecules, but information on the relative homology of these “addressins” is limited in scope due to lack of reagents.</p>
<p id="para79">Cytokines and lymphokines in the pig have been studied in models associated with inflammation, such as sepsis, atrophic rhinitis, erysipelas, arthritis, and viral infections (<xref rid="bib199" ref-type="bibr">Murtaugh, 1994</xref>
; <xref rid="bib207" ref-type="bibr">Ober <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). Reports on swine cytokine regulation and function suggest that the biology is similar to that of humans and mice and that there is some limited homology; swine lymphocytes will respond to recombinant human interleukin (IL)-2 <italic>in vitro</italic>
(<xref rid="bib311" ref-type="bibr">Whary <italic>et al.,</italic>
1995</xref>
). Located on chromosome 7, swine leukocyte antigens (SLA), the equivalent of the mouse major histocompatibilite complex (MHC), have been cloned and sequenced. As they are in other species, SLA class I genes are universal in tissue expression and function to restrict T-cell activation, particularly antiviral immune responses, and are pivotal for inducing tolerance for “self.” The SLA class II genes have been cloned and are restricted in expression to B cells, activated macrophages, a subset of CD8<sup>+</sup>
T cells, and vascular endothelium. The number of SLA class III genes that have been cloned is lower than that found in other species. Member genes of the SLA class III complex function in the complement system, which in the pig is closely aligned with the human systems of classical and alternative pathways of complement activation. One difference is that elimination of antigen–antibody immune complexes occurs through the lung in the pig, in contrast to the target organs of liver and spleen in humans (<xref rid="bib66" ref-type="bibr">Davies <italic>et al.,</italic>
1995</xref>
). Red blood cell antigen classification is very complex in the pig, with 16 genetic systems having been developed that consist of 78 blood factors, which are either antigens of the red blood cell itself or become cell-associated from other tissues when serum concentrations are high (<xref rid="bib220" ref-type="bibr">Pescovitz, 1998</xref>
). Knowledge of red cell surface expression of carbohydrate antigens is important to xenotransplantation because of their role in complement activation, which mediates hyperacute rejection of transplanted tissues.</p>
<p id="para80">There are no primary immunodeficiencies that have been identified in the pig, but acquired immunodeficient states can be surgically induced (thymectomy, splenectomy). Spontaneous cases of immunodeficiency have been attributed to inadequate colostrum, stress, or poor nutrition (<xref rid="bib220" ref-type="bibr">Pescovitz, 1998</xref>
). Autoimmune disease in swine is largely undocumented except for hemolytic disease in neonates related to postnatal absorption of maternal immunoglobulins (erythroblastosis fetalis) and two forms of glomerulonephritis. One form appears to be inherited in Norwegian Yorkshire swine, and a second involves spontaneous IgA nephropathy reported in Japanese slaughter pigs (both reviewed in <xref rid="bib207" ref-type="bibr">Ober <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). Arthritis in pigs attributable to infection with <italic>Mycoplasma hyorhinis</italic>
or <italic>Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae</italic>
has similar pathogenesis to human rheumatoid arthritis.</p>

<sec id="cesec16"><label>2.</label>
<title>Use of Swine in Xenotransplantation</title>
<p id="para81">Experimental use of swine organs or tissues for humans faces significant scientific challenges of overcoming hyperacute and chronic rejection by the host as well as societal issues involving ethics, cost, and the risk of zoonotic diseases. Nonetheless, the pig is considered to be the prime candidate for systematic production of suitable organs because of its many advantages. Miniature swine are readily available and have body weight, organ size, and physiology similar to those of humans. Additionally, their transplant potential is supported by emerging transgenic technology to minimize rejection and by a large database of technical information generated by their use in other areas of biomedical research (<xref rid="bib279" ref-type="bibr">Swindle, 1992</xref>
). Disease resistance of swine organs has also been promoted as a strategy to circumvent failure of transplanted organs resulting from infectious agents specific to the human, such as hepatitis B virus (<xref rid="bib195" ref-type="bibr">Mueller <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para82">Three lines of miniature swine homozygous for a different set of SLA alleles have been developed by David Sachs of the Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston) (<xref rid="bib170" ref-type="bibr">Lunney <italic>et al.,</italic>
1986</xref>
). Designated as SLA<sup>aa</sup>
, SLA<sup>cc</sup>
, and SLA<sup>dd</sup>
, these lines are heterozygous at minor histocompatibility and other loci and thus are useful genetic models for studying rejection. Pairing donor and recipient within a line is used to model for transplants between identical human siblings, between lines as a model for nonidentical siblings, and between F<sub>1</sub>
hydrids for parent-offspring transplants. Intra-SLA recombinant strains have permitted study of SLA class I and II differences and demonstrated the effect of SLA mismatches on graft survival of various tissues. Matching SLA skin grafts typically survive for 7 to 12 days, but vascular grafts and liver transplants survive much longer, some indefinitely. One-third of renal transplants have survived indefinitely, and when rejection did occur, it led to discovery of non-SLA-linked genes that promoted immune-mediated rejection. Acceptance of vascular grafts has been shown to induce tolerance to minor histocompatibility loci, and when performed prior to skin grafting, skin graft survival time was extended. Reversing this process (skin graft first) apparently sensitizes the host to reject vascular grafts hyperacutely.</p>
<p id="para83">The swine-to-baboon xenotransplantation model holds the promise of future technology transfer to enable swine-to-human donation. Lack of long-term success has generated multiple strategies to minimize rejection. Hyperacute rejection of organs occurs within minutes to hours and is mediated by complement when pig organs are perfused with human or nonhuman primate blood (<xref rid="bib244" ref-type="bibr">Saadi and Platt, 1999</xref>
). High titers of natural “xenoantibodies” in the human (or experimentally, in the nonhuman primate) target carbohydrate antigens, such as Gal(αl-3),Gal(αl-4),GlcNAc-R, expressed on donor tissue endothelium, resulting in complement activation and subsequent vascular injury and in severe cases, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). One strategy has been to eliminate natural xenoantibodies from the circulation of baboons using α-Gal immunoaffinity columns or extracorporeal perfusion through pig liver; depletion is temporary, on the order of days to weeks (<xref rid="bib151" ref-type="bibr">Kozlowski <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
). Sachs unsuccessfully attempted to identify an inbred swine genotype of low α-Gal expression with the objective of using selective breeding of pigs to decrease α-Gal expression (<xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">Chae <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). Others have suggested screening specific donors for carbohydrate antigen expression levels as a means to diminish antigenic stimulation of the recipient (<xref rid="bib215" ref-type="bibr">Papalois <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). <xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">Brenner <italic>et al.</italic>
(2000</xref>
) reported that nonspecific depletion of the majority of recipient immunoglobulins of all isotypes by column immunoapheresis significantly improved graft survival of pig hearts in baboons.</p>
<p id="para84">In addition to the antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection, delayed rejection of xenografts through cell-mediated responses develops over 3 to 4 days, involving activation of endothelial cells of the graft as in the acute rejection response (<xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Brouard <italic>et al.,</italic>

). Activation leads to loss of thrombomodulin and adenosine triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase), which leads to prothrombosis, proinflammatory gene activation increasing the expression of adhesion molecules, prothrombotic factors, and cytokines. Adoptive cell transfer experiments in immunodeficient rodents have demonstrated that engrafted human CD4<sup>+</sup>

<p id="para85">Early attempts to promote immunologic tolerance have included bone marrow ablation of the recipient, therapy with complement inhibitors (cobra venom factor or soluble complement receptor I), preadsorption of natural antibodies, immunosuppressive drug regimens, antithymocyte globulin, and splenectomy (<xref rid="bib258" ref-type="bibr">Schmoeckel <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). An attractive approach that has shown early promise is the induction of donor-specific tolerance using bone marrow transplantation to create chimeras. Tolerance to fully MHC-mismatched allografts has been demonstrated in mice and primates after first creating a mixed allogeneic hematopoietic chimerism by engrafting donor bone marrow cells into the recipient. However, this hematopoietic chimerism has been difficult to achieve in the discordant pig-to-primate xenogeneic model (<xref rid="bib246" ref-type="bibr">Sablinski <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
), most likely due to species-specific differences in regulatory cytokines and elements of the stromal microenvironment (<xref rid="bib91" ref-type="bibr">Emery <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). Representative of a typical experimental protocol and illustrative of the complexities involved, recipient primates underwent whole-body irradiation on days 6 and 5 prior to infusion of pig bone marrow. Primate antipig xenoantibodies were immunoad-sorbed by extracorporeal perfusion of recipient blood through a pig liver immediately before the intravenous infusion of porcine marrow (day 0). In addition to cyclosporine for 4 weeks and 15-deoxyspergualin for 2 weeks, recombinant pig stem-cell factor and interleukin 3 were given for 2 weeks. Recipient primates required 4 weeks to recover from pancytopenia from whole body irradiation, and antipig IgM and IgG antibodies were temporarily depleted by the liver perfusion for 12 to 14 days. About 2% of the myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow of the recipient were of pig origin, and the chimeric animal was less responsive by mixed lymphocyte reaction to pig-specific stimulators. This was the first report of long-term survival of discordant xenogeneic bone marrow in a primate recipient. Others have reported on the poor function of porcine hematopoietic cells in primate marrow microenvironments. <xref rid="bib306" ref-type="bibr">Warrens <italic>et al.</italic>
(1998</xref>
) found differences between swine and human bone marrow cultures in function of two well-characterized ligands known to be important in hematopoiesis, CD44 and very late antigen-4 (VLA-4), but they concluded that the differences were not significant enough to explain lack of effective porcine hematopoiesis in the primate marrow, suggesting that other unknown interactions may be important.</p>
<p id="para86">Gene therapy using retroviral transfer to minimize rejection has been investigated. In a mouse model, inhibition of xenoantibody production was accomplished by retroviral transfer into mouse bone marrow of a gene encoding the enzyme that synthesizes swine carbohydrate antigens (<xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Bracy <italic>et al.,</italic>

). Gene therapy to express swine SLA class II antigens on baboon autologous bone marrow cells has had limited success (<xref rid="bib133" ref-type="bibr">Ierino <italic>et al.,</italic>
1999</xref>
). Transcription of the transgene was transient, and xenografts were rejected after 8 to 22 days. This experiment was important because it demonstrated that transfer and expression of xenogeneic class II transgenes can be achieved in baboons, and this therapy may prevent late T cell-dependent responses to porcine xenografts, which include induced non-α-Gal IgG antibody responses. Porcine thymic grafts in immunodeficient mice have been found to support normal development of polyclonal, functional human T cells, and these T cells were specifically tolerant to SLA antigens of the porcine thymus donor, suggesting thymic transplantation may be an approach to achieve tolerance in pig-to-human xenotransplantation (<xref rid="bib205" ref-type="bibr">Nikolic <italic>et al.,</italic>

<p id="para87">Transgenic science is the most promising approach to prevent rejection of xenotransplants. Transgenic expression of human a(1,2)-fucosyltransferase in different porcine cells and tissues, including the vascular endothelium, modifies the cell surface carbohydrate phenotype of the xenogeneic donor cell, resulting in the expression of the human universal donor O antigen and a concomitant reduction in the expression of the antigenic Gal(αl-3)Gal epitope (<xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">Costa <italic>et al.,</italic>

<title>Infectious Diseases</title>
<p id="para90">If research pigs are typically purchased in relatively small numbers from herds with defined health status, newly introduced animals are adequately quarantined and conditioned, and husbandry conditions are optimum, the incidence of infectious disease in the research laboratory should be minimal. Nonetheless, veterinarians responsible for swine health need to be familiar with both classical swine diseases and the health problems that can emerge from opportunistic agents in animals stressed by experimental manipulation. Many of the diseases discussed below are in fact rare in the majority of modern commercial pigs and will not be found in the commercially supplied miniature swine herds of high health status.</p>
<p id="para91">Implementing treatment of infectious problems should be considered cautiously and is best reserved for those problems that are expected to resolve quickly with minimal impact on the research use or health status of the research herd as a whole.

<p id="para95">The enteric form is characterized by an acute or chronic enterocolitis that is sporadically hemorrhagic. The initial diarrhea is usually watery and yellow and lasts less than a week but may recur. Anorexia, pyrexia, and dehydration are seen concurrent with diarrhea. Death may be the result in severely affected animals, and a distended abdomen due to rectal strictures can be a sequela to the chronic diarrhea. The majority of affected pigs recover; however, some will be carriers and shed the organism for several months. This form is usually caused by <italic>S. typhimurium</italic>
and most commonly affects swine aged 3 weeks to 4 months.</p>

<sec id="cesec24"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para97">The source of <italic>Salmonella choleraesuis</italic>
for swine is essentially other swine and environments contaminated by swine. Transmission is both vertical and horizontal by fecal-oral spread or nasal secretions. The incubation period ranges from 2 days to several weeks, and survivors become carriers that shed the bacteria in feces for at least 3 months. Some form of stress, including shipping, food deprivation, concurrent diseases, research protocols, temperature fluctuations, mixing pigs from different sources, and overcrowding, usually precedes clinical disease. The stress increases shedding by inapparent carriers. <italic>Salmonella choleraesuis</italic>
is fairly host-specific for swine, but <italic>S. typhimurium</italic>
is not host-specific (<xref rid="bib261" ref-type="bibr">Schwartz, 1999</xref>

<sec id="cesec27"><title>Prevention and control.</title>
<p id="para100">The most practical approach to preventing clinical salmonellosis is to remove stressors to minimize fecal shedding by carriers and to practice good sanitation to minimize exposure to the bacteria. These stressors include concurrent diseases, mixing of swine from different sources, poor environmental control, and nutritional deficiencies. Sanitary, pest-free facilities should be utilized for preparation, handling, and storage of swine feed. Common surface disinfectants that are efficacious for this bacterium include chlorine, iodine, and phenols.</p>
<p id="para101">A sensitive and specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay has been developed that will identify salmonellae in feces and intestinal mucosa scrapings as well as in pure cultures (<xref rid="bib88" ref-type="bibr">Elder <italic>et al.,</italic>

<p id="para133">Pseudorabies, also known as Aujeszky's disease, was not considered important in the United States prior to 1960. However, since that time it has been significantly elevated in stature due to the emergence of new and more virulent strains and changes in husbandry practices that have potentiated its spread among swine. The virus belongs to the alphavirus subfamily of the Herpesviridae. This classification of viruses is known for the ability to establish latent infections, particularly in the sensory ganglia of the nervous system.</p>
<p id="para134">The virus can affect a variety of animals, including pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, rodents, macaques, and marmosets. Reports of human infection have been limited and are poorly documented (<xref rid="bib149" ref-type="bibr">Kluge <italic>et al.,</italic>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec66"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para135">The clinical signs associated with this disease are primarily related to the age of the swine affected, although the strain of virus and the infectious dose also play a role. The virus predominantly impacts the respiratory and nervous systems with related clinical signs. Neonatal pigs typically respond to exposure with acute signs related to the central nervous system (CNS). Affected pigs will tremble, hypersalivate, stumble, and exhibit nystagmus and opisthotonus, often with epileptiform-like seizures. Because of posterior paresis, the animals may be observed actually sitting like a dog. Other signs include circling and paddling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Once CNS signs start, death usually follows within 24–36 hr, and mortality approaches 100%. As the pigs age, the clinical signs become less severe, fewer pigs develop CNS involvement, and mortality declines. Respiratory signs characterized by sneezing, nasal discharge, and cough become the hallmark of pigs that are infected at greater than 9 weeks of age. Morbidity rate is high, but mortality is low with uncomplicated CNS signs such as muscle tremors that occur only sporadically. The duration of clinical signs is usually 6–10 days, with rapid recovery unless the disease has progressed to pneumonia or a secondary bacterial pneumonia has been initiated. Sows and boars also develop primarily respiratory signs, although pregnant animals in the second to third trimester abort and in the first trimester, resorb the fetus. The main differential diagnosis is swine influenza.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec67"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para136">The virus is spread within a herd in various ways. The single most important mechanism contributing to disease spread is the movement of swine who are shedding the viral particles. Transmission can occur via direct contact, insemination, or transplacental transmission. Indirect transmission can occur by inhalation of aerosolized particles or by contact with contaminated surfaces. Fomite transmission is also possible. Infective levels of virus can persist for up to 7 hr in air with relative humidity of 55% (<xref rid="bib259" ref-type="bibr">Schoenbaum <italic>et al.,</italic>
1990</xref>
). Infective levels of viral particles can also be present in tissues of animals that have died from the disease. Consuming infected carcasses or feed that has been contaminated with the virus is another means of transmission. Evidence indicates that avian species are not a significant contributor to the spread of the virus, and the role of insects in the transmission process has not been adequately evaluated (<xref rid="bib322" ref-type="bibr">Zimmerman <italic>et al.,</italic>

<sec id="cesec68"><title>Diagnosis.</title>
<p id="para137">Pseudorabies in older animals can easily be confused with swine influenza, especially if the only clinical signs manifested are respiratory in nature. When CNS signs are exhibited, the clinical diagnosis of PR becomes much clearer. Serology is not the ideal choice for defining acute infections, as there is a delay in humoral antibody development; and interpretation of serologic results can be difficult, especially in younger animals, as maternal antibodies are present until piglets are up to 4 months of age. If serology is used to diagnose an active infection, it is recommended that paired serum samples be collected at a 2-week interval to demonstrate a rise in antibody titer (<xref rid="bib149" ref-type="bibr">Kluge <italic>et al.,</italic>

). The vaccines protect pigs against clinical signs and mortality but do nothing toward eradicating the disease; the vaccine does not eliminate the virus in infected animals, nor does it prevent animals from becoming infected with the virus. Animals that are vaccinated, however, do shed lesser amounts of virus and have a limited tissue invasion by the organism. The gene-deleted vaccinations offer the advantage of producing vaccinated animals that lack antibody against the specific protein coded for by the deleted gene.

<p id="para143">The clinical signs of pure <italic>B. bronchiseptica</italic>
infection (NPAR) generally appear in nursery pigs less than 4 weeks of age and consist of sneezing, snuffling, and a mucopurulent nasal discharge. In older pigs these signs are milder or nonexistent. In very young pigs (3–4 days old) a severe bronchopneumonia can result. This form is much more rare than the nasal infections. The signs are a mild fever (103°–104°F or 39.5°–40°C), marked “whooping” cough, and dyspnea, with high morbidity and mortality possible if untreated. This organism is frequently isolated from pneumonic lesions of older pigs; however, its role as a pathogen in this situation is questionable (De Jong, 1999).

include CMV and other causes of sneezing and rhinitis.</p>
<p id="para144">The clinical signs of <italic>Pasteurella multocida</italic>
(PAR) typically begin at 1 to 3 months of age and consist of sneezing and snuffling, which progresses to more violent sneezing with mucopurulent nasal discharge. In some cases epistaxis is seen. Inflammation of the nasolacrimal duct, which causes occlusion of the duct and subsequent tear staining visible at the medial canthus, frequently occurs. The most characteristic clinical sign is the dorsal and/or lateral deviation of the snout as the pig grows. This is caused by the abnormal bone growth, which occurs as a result of unequal nasal turbinate atrophy. Brachygnathia superior (BS) is the most common form seen and is due to slower bone growth in the upper jaw which gives it an upturned appearance. Significant turbinate atrophy can be present without visible snout abnormalities. Commonly, this atrophy is subjectively measured at necropsy by visual scoring of a section at the level of the second premolar. Techniques for objective quantification of this atrophy by digital image analysis or digitization (<xref rid="bib99" ref-type="bibr">Gatlin <italic>et al.,</italic>

) have been published. The latter method allows morphometric analysis of live pigs. In the more severe cases, whole-body growth rate will be decreased (De Jong, 1999), and this may be due in part to the possibility that the toxin produced affects the growth of the skeletal system (<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">Ackermann <italic>et al.,</italic>

is spread from pig to pig by aerosol droplets, which probably first occurs with snout-to-snout contact between a sow and a newborn piglet. This is followed by horizontal spread among littermates; however, spread can occur at any age. Piglets infected in the first week of life will generally develop more severe lesions than those infected at 4 weeks or later. Those infected at 9 weeks show almost no lesions (De Jong, 1999). The quantity and quality of passive antibody obtained from the sow also affects the severity of lesions. In SPF herds the mode of transmission is often the introduction of new carrier animals to the herd. <italic>Bordetella bronchiseptica</italic>

<p id="para146"><italic>Pasteurella multocida</italic>
infection in SPF herds typically occurs by the introduction of carrier pigs. Once introduced into a seronegative herd, these bacteria will quickly spread by direct contact and aerosols.

All age groups are affected, and morbidity and mortality are linked to environmental quality, stress, and concurrent infection with other pathogens. The disease is prevalent worldwide, different countries tend to have a different set of serovars, and multiple serovars can be found in one facility.

<title>Inclusion Body Rhinitis (IBR)</title>
<sec id="cesec129"><sec id="cesec130"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para191">Inclusion body rhinitis, a disease caused by porcine cytomegalovirus, is found throughout the world. The causative viral agent is a member of the subgroup of slow-growing herpesviruses, beta herpesvirinae, which produce cytomegaly with hallmark intranuclear inclusions. The agent is species-specific and is able to induce latent infection, with shedding of the organism occurring even in the presence of circulating antibodies.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec131"><title>Clinical signs and research complications.</title>
<p id="para192">This disease is usually subclinical in pigs more than 3 weeks of age and may even be totally inapparent in young animals if good management practices are being followed. The clinical sequelae typically associated with this disease include unexpected fetal and piglet death, ranting, mild rhinitis, pneumonia, and poor weight gain in young pigs. Some piglets may be born anemic, with edema noted around the jaw and tarsal joints. Adult animals that are exposed to this agent for the first time may develop mild anorexia and lethargy. The virus has been documented to modify the host defensive mechanism through inhibiting T-cell function (<xref rid="bib148" ref-type="bibr">Kelsey <italic>et al.,</italic>
1977</xref>
). A differential diagnosis is parvovirus.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec132"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para193">The virus can be recovered from nasal and ocular secretions, urine, and fluids associated with pregnancy, as well as from male reproductive organs. Dissemination of the agent most commonly occurs via nasal secretions and urine. The majority of virus is excreted from animals at 3–8 weeks of age; however, reactivation of excretion can occur when the animals are stressed. Lung macrophages are the reservoir of infection. The virus can be transmitted transplacentally, and congenital infection often manifests as fetal/neonatal death and ranted pigs with rhinitis (<xref rid="bib86" ref-type="bibr">Edington <italic>et al.,</italic>
1977</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec133"><title>Diagnosis.</title>
<p id="para194">The presence of this disease can be confirmed using a serum ELISA. The virus can be isolated from the nasal mucosa, lung, and kidney. Histologic identification of inclusions and cytomegaly in epithelial tissues is also pathognomonic. Differential diagnoses include those diseases that result in an impact on the reproductive system, such as parvovirus and Pseudorabies.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec134"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para195">Gross lesions in piglets are found in the nasal passages, where there is a serous rhinitis in early stages of the disease and a purulent exudate in older lesions (<xref rid="bib292" ref-type="bibr">Thomson, 1988</xref>
). There may also be a sinusitis, and if the disease becomes systemic, there are petechial hemorrhages and edema in the lungs, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, and pericardial and pleural effusions. The kidneys may contain large numbers of petechia, or they may be dark purple (<xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">Edington, 1992</xref>
). Histologic findings characteristic for this disease are the presence of large basophilic intranuclear inclusions in the epithelial cells in both the mucosa and the mucosal glands (<xref rid="bib292" ref-type="bibr">Thomson, 1988</xref>
; <xref rid="bib84" ref-type="bibr">Edington, 1976</xref>
). If the disease has become systemic, there may be a pneumonia and foci of necrosis in the liver, kidney, CNS, and adrenals, with inclusions in capillary endothelium and sinusoidal cells throughout the body (<xref rid="bib292" ref-type="bibr">Thomson, 1988</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec135"><title>Pathogenesis.</title>
<p id="para196">The virus appears to enter the body through the mucosa, where it replicates inside the epithelial cells of the mucosal, Harderian, and lacrimal glands. The subsequent viremia results in seeding of mucosal glands, renal tubular epithelium, hepatocytes, duodenal epithelium, and in neonates or fetal pigs, the reticuloendothelial cells and capillary endothelium (<xref rid="bib85" ref-type="bibr">Edington, 1992</xref>

<p id="para197">Supportive therapy to prevent the occurrence of secondary bacterial infections is always helpful in the face of a viral disease outbreak.

<title>Swine Influenza</title>
<sec id="cesec138"><sec id="cesec139"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para198">Swine influenza, first identified in 1918, is caused by a type A influenza virus. The agent is distributed worldwide, and antibodies to the virus are found in about 45% of the sampled pig populations. The influenza A viruses belong to the family of RNA viruses, Orthomyxoviridae. The type A viruses are further classified based on the glycoprotein spikes that extend from the viral particle (hemagglutinin [H] and neuraminidase [N]). The antigenic characteristics of these spikes provided the basis for dividing these viruses into subtypes. Antigenic comparison of the H1N1 swine viruses has shown, in contrast to human strains, that there has been little antigenic variation over the last 50 years (<xref rid="bib265" ref-type="bibr">Sherrar <italic>et al.,</italic>
1989</xref>
). This could be attributed to the fact that the virus is able to propagate in an ever-present population of nonimmune pigs. Strain H3N2 is also very prevalent in swine.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec140"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para199">This disease typically spreads rapidly throughout susceptible herds, with morbidity close to 100%. The animals appear very ill with signs including anorexia, labored open-mouthed breathing, and a strong reluctance to move. The animals have fever, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and nasal discharge, and will exhibit a barking cough. Despite the apparent severe clinical signs, the animals typically recover rapidly after 5–7 days of developing clinical signs. Mortality is usually less than 1%. Occasionally, abortions, stillbirths, and infertility have been reported to occur concomitantly with infection; however, studies have shown that the virus was not directly responsible (<xref rid="bib39" ref-type="bibr">Brown <italic>et al.,</italic>
1982</xref>
.) The main differentials include bacterial pneumonias.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec141"><title>Diagnosis.</title>
<p id="para200">A definitive diagnosis can be made through isolation of the virus by swabbing nasal mucosa, or by demonstration of seroconversion. Serologic diagnosis requires paired serum samples (disease onset, then 4 weeks later) demonstrating an increase in antibody titer. Diagnosing weanling pigs via serology is difficult as maternal antibody persists up to 4 months. Young pigs carrying maternal antibody may still be infected and shed viral particles.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec142"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para201">Swine influenza typically appears as a result of population movement, i.e., new animals entering the herd. Outbreaks can be described as explosive, rapidly spreading through all animals within a grouping. Once the virus gains purchase within a population of swine, the disease is likely to recur unless the grouping is totally depopulated.</p>
<p id="para202">The primary route of transmission is via direct contact with the viral particles that are found in high concentrations in nasal secretions. There is no evidence that supports a carrier state, and the widespread occurrence and persistence of the virus is attributed to its continued passage to young susceptible animals or animals that have lost protective antibody titers obtained from previous infections.</p>
<p id="para203">The H1N1 viruses have a very wide host range, including humans and birds, and interspecies transmission readily occurs. The H1N1 viruses can cause acute respiratory disease in humans, with evidence indicating that this virus, transmitted from pigs, was responsible for the 1918 influenza epidemic that killed an estimated 20 million people throughout the world. The more recent cases of documented H1N1 transmission have been in younger people, resulting in morbidity but no mortality. These cases also implicate birds, especially turkeys, as important sources of the virus. The strain of influenza virus identified in humans, H3N2, has also been shown to be infective to pigs, resulting in significant disease.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec143"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para204">There is a fibrinous to mucopurulent exudate in the nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles (<xref rid="bib292" ref-type="bibr">Thomson, 1988</xref>
), and there are dark red to purple firm foci of consolidation in the apical and cardiac lobes of the lung and interlobular edema (<xref rid="bib83" ref-type="bibr">Easterday and Hinshaw, 1992</xref>

Swine eat an earthworm that contains infective larvae, which then migrate to the mesenteric lymph nodes and on to the right heart and lungs. They mature in the bronchi and bronchioles of the diaphragmatic lung lobes. The prepatent period is 28 days.</p>
<p id="para212">Ascarids have a direct life cycle and therefore can be a problem even in indoor facilities. Ingested larvated eggs hatch in the small intestine and invade the wall of the cecum and colon (<xref rid="bib198" ref-type="bibr">Murrell <italic>et al.,</italic>

is very efficient at penetrating mucus or other material and attaching to the colonic epithelium. These organisms do not invade the gut wall below the lamina propria. The organism has been shown to produce a hemolysin that is cytotoxic and an endotoxin. The diarrhea is the result of colonic malabsorption from failure of colonic epithelial cells to transport sodium and chloride from the lumen to the blood (<xref rid="bib257" ref-type="bibr">Schmall <italic>et al.,</italic>

<title>Proliferative Enteropathy</title>
<p id="para232">Based on inflammatory and proliferative lesions found at necropsy in the terminal ileum, proliferative enteropathy (PE) of the pig has been historically referred to as porcine intestinal adenomatosis, terminal or regional ileitis, regional enteritis, intestinal adenoma, porcine proliferative ileitis, and muscular hypertrophy with stenosis of the ileum. Proliferative enteropathy affects multiple species, and the comparative aspects have been reviewed (<xref rid="bib58" ref-type="bibr">Cooper and Gebhart, 1998</xref>

<sec id="cesec172"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para234">Clinical disease attributed to PE is most often observed in the postweaned pig between 6 and 20 weeks of age. Infected animals may show clinical signs ranging from none to severe hemorrhagic diarrhea following a stress such as shipping or weaning. Failure to grow at a normal rate may be the only clinical sign that is detectable antemortem. More severe necrotic enteritis, most commonly found in young adult swine rather than in those just weaned, may present as acute death, anemia secondary to acute hemorrhagic diarrhea, or a more chronic form associated with passage of black tarry feces.

<p id="para237">The gross lesions of proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy are confined to the ileum and rarely involve the large bowel.

<p id="para244">Enteric colibacillosis is the most important diarrheal disease of newborn to postweaning-age swine (<xref rid="bib159" ref-type="bibr">Leman, 1992</xref>

<sec id="cesec181"><sec id="cesec182"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para245">Colibacillosis is caused by pathogenic <italic>Escherichia coli,</italic>
a gram-negative facultative anaerobic rod. The species <italic>E. coli</italic>
includes members that are normal gut flora as well as enteric pathogens that are further classified by antigenic serotype: somatic (O), capsular (K), flagellar (H), and fimbrial adhesins (F). Pathogenic <italic>E. coli</italic>
also possesses one or more virulence factors encoded on either the bacterial genome or plasmids. Various classifications associated with different modes of pathogenesis include enterotoxigenic strains of <italic>E. coli</italic>
(ETEC), which produce heat-stabile (ST) or heat-labile (LT) enterotoxins. Enteropathogenic <italic>E. coli</italic>
(EPEC), also referred to as attaching and effacing strains (AEEC), which attach to the enteric epithelium using fimbrial adhesins, efface the microvilli and invade the epithelial cells. Strains of <italic>E. coli</italic>

(EHEC) (<xref rid="bib299" ref-type="bibr">Tzipori <italic>et al.,</italic>

). As an example, neonatal diarrhea in piglets from 0 to 4 days of age is commonly caused by an enterotoxigenic (ETEC) strain of <italic>E. coli</italic>
that possesses F4-type fimbrial adhesins, produces ST or LT enterotoxin, and belongs to the classical serotypes 0149, 08, 0147, or 0157.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec183"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para246">Colibacillosis presents as diarrhea that will vary in severity based on the virulence factors present in the <italic>E. coli</italic>
strain involved and the age and immune status of the piglets. Severe dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and weight loss may accompany the diarrhea, or peracute deaths without diarrhea may be seen. Neonatal colibacillosis can develop within hours of birth if piglets are born to gilts in contaminated environments and is characterized by either clear, watery diarrhea or loose stools that vary in color from white to brown. Severe outbreaks are associated with high morbidity and mortality in neonates; older pigs have less severe disease. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis from colibacillosis can occur peracutely (sudden death) or acutely (rapid decline with severe diarrhea) in previously healthy unweaned or recently weaned pigs. The differential diagnoses for yellow to white, watery diarrhea in piglets that are newborn to several weeks of age should include colibacillosis, salmonellosis, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, rotavirus, nematodiasis, and coccidiosis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec184"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para247">Clinical disease results from interaction between the causative bacteria, adverse environmental conditions, and select host factors. Newborn pigs encountering large numbers of <italic>E. coli</italic>

). The ETEC organisms contain a mucopolysaccharide capsule that is antiphagocytic and not very antigenic. The Kl polysaccharide enhances bacterial resistance to complement mediated killing by inhibiting the alternative pathway to complement activation. The very long O chain polysaccharide chains in the cell wall bind the membrane attack complex resulting from complement activation distant from the cell membrane so that it cannot lyse the cell (<xref rid="bib107" ref-type="bibr">Gyles and Thoen, 1993</xref>
). Specialized fimbriae, K88(F4), K99(F5), F6, and F41, permit the adherence and colonization of the enterocytes. The ETEC also produce heat-labile toxins, which elevate levels of adenylate cyclase leading to the efflux of Na and CI ions and water out of the cell. In addition, SLT-IIe, a heat-labile, Shiga-like toxin, binds to and damages vascular endothelium, resulting in edema, hemorrhage, and thrombosis (<xref rid="bib107" ref-type="bibr">Gyles and Thoen, 1993</xref>

<p id="para261"><italic>Clostridium perfringens</italic>
type C organisms produce a trypsin-sensitive beta (β) toxin that is responsible for much of the necrotizing lesions.

<p id="para274">Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a pleomorphic enveloped virus containing a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. This virus is one of four members of the family Coronaviridae (<xref rid="bib268" ref-type="bibr">Sirinarumitr, 1997</xref>
) that are known to naturally infect pigs: TGEV, hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus, porcine respiratory coronavirus, and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (<xref rid="bib154" ref-type="bibr">Kweon <italic>et al.,</italic>

<p id="para275">Anorexia, vomiting, and/or diarrhea develop within days in susceptible animals of all ages, particularly in the winter.

Piglets less than 2 weeks old experience high mortality secondary to dehydration from enteritis, which can be compounded by agalactia if the sow is also ill. Differential diagnoses for yellow to white watery diarrhea in piglets that are newborn to several weeks of age should include colibacillosis, transmissible gastroenteritis, rotavirus, and coccidiosis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec214"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para276">Epizootic TGE develops within days when the majority of animals are susceptible. A pattern of enzootic TGE will follow if viral challenge exceeds protection afforded by maternal immunity or as passive immunity wanes in the postweaning period. In herds with enzootic TGE, older animals will be asymptomatic, but diarrhea will develop in pigs 1 to 2 weeks old. Usually morbidity and mortality are lower, making diagnosis more difficult and requiring discrimination between other common causes of neonatal diarrhea, such as rotavirus and colibacillosis.</p>

<sec id="cesec215"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para277">Gross lesions are confined to the gastrointestinal tract and consist of a stomach distended with milk; foci of hemorrhages on the diaphragmatic side of the mucosa, varying in size from several millimeters to 2 cm in diameter; and a distended thin-walled small intestine, which is filled with watery material and curds of undigested milk. The piglets are usually severely dehydrated, and there is no chyle in the lymphatic channels in the mesentery (<xref rid="bib126" ref-type="bibr">Hooper and Haelterman, 1966</xref>
, <xref rid="bib127" ref-type="bibr">1969</xref>
). The most striking microscopic lesion is the severe villus atrophy in the jejunum and ileum, which causes a massive loss of mature absorptive enterocytes. The villus crypt ratio is 1:1, compared to a normal of about 7:1 (<xref rid="bib126" ref-type="bibr">Hooper and Haelterman, 1966</xref>
, <xref rid="bib127" ref-type="bibr">1969</xref>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec216"><title>Pathogenesis.</title>
<p id="para278">The virus multiplies in villus enterocytes, which are then sloughed as the villi begin to shrink. Normally, crypt cells divide rapidly to produce a constant supply of enterocytes that develop their absorptive enzyme capacity as they move onto the villus. In TGE this process is impeded due to the massive loss of enterocytes from villus atrophy, and the remaining crypt cells lack these enzyme systems. The secretory flux exceeds the ability to resorb. In addition, the hyperplasia of crypt cells results in increased secretory flux, which further adds to the diarrhea (<xref rid="bib126" ref-type="bibr">Hooper and Haelterman, 1966</xref>

<sec id="cesec222"><sec id="cesec223"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para284">Four (A, B, C, E) of seven serogroups (A-G) of rotavirus have been described in swine, but group A rotavirus appears to be the most common. Within these serogroups, rotaviruses fall into two major serotypes based on expression of two surface antigens, VP4 and VP7. Rotaviruses are nonenveloped with a double-stranded RNA genome. They are stable in the environment and are relatively resistant to effects of temperature, pH, and disinfectants.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec224"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para285">Disease is most severe in naive pigs first exposed at 1 to 5 days of age. Typical signs include anorexia, lethargy, some vomiting, and profuse watery diarrhea that is white to yellow in color and contains flocculent material. In pigs that will recover, consistency of feces slowly returns to normal after 3 to 5 days of diarrhea. Death loss due to dehydration can reach 50–100% of affected piglets. Clinical signs and losses are less severe if exposure occurs after piglets are 7 days of age, and infection is commonly subclinical if it occurs after they are 21 to 28 days of age. Disease is usually mild and self-limiting if other enteric pathogens are absent. If rotaviral infection is detected in clinically ill pigs of postweaning age, mixed infection with other agents such as TGEV should be suspected. Differential diagnoses for yellow to white, watery diarrhea in piglets that are newborn to several weeks of age should include rotavirus, colibacillosis, transmissible gastroenteritis, coccidiosis, and nematodiasis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec225"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para286">Rotaviral infection is enzootic in most swine herds, and clinical disease will be apparent only if viral challenge exceeds the capacity of passive maternal immunity. Piglets born to gilts are at greater risk than those farrowed by older sows, who are more likely to have naturally high virus neutralizing titers that protect the nursing piglets. Rotaviruses are resistant to environmental extremes and disinfection. Subclinical infection may persist in adult animals, with periodic shedding.</p>

<sec id="cesec226"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para287">Gross lesions are confined to the small bowel. The wall of the distal half of the small intestine is typically thin and dilated and contains watery material, while the mesenteric lymph nodes are tan and small (<xref rid="bib217" ref-type="bibr">Paul and Stevenson, 1992</xref>
). The cecum and colon are dilated, with watery contents similar to those in the small intestine. Gross lesions in pigs over 21 days of age are variable or absent. Microscopic lesions include degeneration and loss of enterocytes on the tips of the villi, increased thickness of the lamina propria due to large numbers of neutrophils and mononuclear cells, reduction in villus height from the duodenum to the ileocecal juncture, and fusion of villi due to exposed lamina propria in villus cores (<xref rid="bib218" ref-type="bibr">Pearson and Me Nulty, 1977</xref>

). The diarrhea is the result of destruction of enterocytes on the tips of the villi and villus atrophy, which reduces the mucosal surface area available for resorption. An osmotic diarrhea ensues due to decreased resorption of sodium, water, and disac-charides in the jejunum and ileum, which causes a hyperosmolarity to the intestinal contents (<xref rid="bib103" ref-type="bibr">Graham <italic>et al.,</italic>

<p id="para325">Bipolar, thick-shelled eggs are intermittently shed in feces. After 3 to 4 weeks in the environment, eggs are infective for as long as 6 years. Ingested eggs hatch in the small intestine and cecum, with newly released larvae penetrating cells lining the crypts. Larvae gradually migrate from the lamina propria into the submucosa over several weeks. After a series of molts, adult worms can be found at necropsy with their anterior end buried in the mucosa and the posterior end free in the intestinal lumen.

a rickettsia of the family Rick-ettsiaceae, tribe Rickettsieae, is the etiologic agent for this disease in swine and is host-specific. These are obligate, intracellular, coccoid to coccobacillary organisms (0.2–2 μm) that are found within or attached to the outer surface of erythrocytes and in the plasma. They change size and shape as they mature, which gives the microscopic appearance of infection by two different rickettsiae. They stain well with Giemsa but not with Gram stain.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec289"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para343">The acute form is usually seen in suckling or newly weaned piglets or other pigs that have been stressed, and consists of fever of 40°–42°C, anemia, jaundice, pale mucous membranes, cyanosis of the ears, allergic skin reactions, weakness, and poor weight gain. All ages of swine can be clinically affected; however, the very young are most likely to be clinically affected. Acutely affected sows will become anorexic and febrile, and will have decreased milk production and poor maternal behavior. Vulvar and mammary gland edema may also be seen in sows.</p>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec300"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para353">The early clinical signs of EE are lethargy and erythematous skin in a variable number of pigs in a litter. Pigs aged 5 days to 2 months are susceptible, and older pigs are more resistant. The signs progress to an exudative dermatitis characterized by exfoliation and crusting, which begins in the groin, in the axillae, behind the ears, and in areas of damaged skin. Anorexia, dehydration, and poor weight gain are characteristic; however, pyrexia and pruritis are not typical signs. Erosions at the coronary band of hooves and vesicles or ulcers in the mouth and on the tongue and snout are common findings. The dermatitis may progress to cover the majority of the body in 3–5 days and becomes exfoliative and crusty. Severely affected members of the litter may die in 24 hr to 10 days, and others may not be affected or be chronically affected with small, localized patches of EE.

The sows can be washed with appropriate antibacterials (chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine shampoos) prior to parturition, and any sharp or abrasive surfaces removed from the pens. The animals should be checked to be sure that they are free of mange and lice, as these may irritate the skin.

</sec>
<sec id="cesec310"><title>Clinical signs.</title>
<p id="para362">The lesions associated with this virus mimic other pox diseases. Initially, macules form (reddening); followed by 1–6 mm diameter papules (reddening with edema); then vesicles (fluid within the lesion); then pustules (umbilicated, ischemic); and finally, crusts (brown to black in color). The progression of the lesions occurs over a 3- to 4-week period. Younger animals are affected more severely than adults, and they may have lesions covering the entire body surface. Older animals tend to have lesions in more focal locations. If vector transmission has occurred, the location of the lesions follows the vector preferences, i.e., the pig louse attacks the lower parts of the body, while flies feed predominantly over the top of the body. Adults have lesions primarily on their belly, udder, ears, snout, and vulva.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec311"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para363">The virus, although worldwide in distribution, exists primarily in herds where poor sanitation is practiced. The reservoir is infected swine, as the virus is host-restricted. The virus may persist in an active form in dry skin scabs for up to 1 year. Horizontal transmission may occur via nasal and oral secretions coming in contact with abraded skin. The primary method of transmission, however, is the pig louse. Flies and mosquitoes can also carry the viral particles. Once the virus is established within a herd, it usually persists. Outbreaks can result in high morbidity if young animals are present, although mortality is very low.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec312"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para364">Gross lesions are most commonly found on the ventral and lateral abdomen and chest and the medial aspects of the legs, and only in severe cases involve the oral cavity and main airways (<xref rid="bib142" ref-type="bibr">Jubb <italic>et al.,</italic>

). Early lesions consist of erythematous macules and papules, and later lesions progress to pustules and scabbing. Microscopic findings are related to viral replication in the stratum spinosum, causing hydropic degeneration, intercellular edema, necrosis of epithelial cells, and formation of pustules that involves the full thickness of the epidermis with 1–3 eosinophilic intracytoplasmic poxvirus inclusion bodies in epithelial cells (<xref rid="bib129" ref-type="bibr">House and House, 1992</xref>

<p id="para368"><italic>Sarcoptes scabiei</italic>
var. <italic>suis</italic>
is the cause of sarcoptic mange in swine. This is probably the most significant ectoparasite of swine. This mite is 0.5 mm in length, has 4 pairs of legs, and completes its entire life cycle within the layers of the epidermis. The time necessary for an egg to hatch and develop into a mature egg-laying female is 10–25 days. This is one of the more common swine diseases, but it is frequently overlooked, probably because the clinical signs may be perceived as normal and losses are not readily apparent. Demodectic mange caused by <italic>Demodex phylloides</italic>
can also occur in swine; however, it is a rarity.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec319"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para369">There are two clinical forms of sarcoptic mange in swine. The acute pruritic or allergic hypersensitive form affects younger, growing pigs. This is characterized by an intensely pruritic, erythematous papular dermatitis on the ventral abdomen, flank, and rump. Pigs with this form will rub the affected areas, often causing hair loss, abrasions, and thickened, keratinized skin. A reduced growth rate will be seen if the dermatitis is severe (<xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">Davies, 1995</xref>
). It is difficult with this form to find the mites on skin scrapings.</p>
<p id="para370">The chronic or hyperkeratotic form is typically found in mature sows and boars. Thick, crusty scabs begin on the pinnae and spread to the neck and head, and contain numerous mites that are relatively easy to find on skin scrapings. Mortality is unlikely unless concurrent disease is severe.</p>
<p id="para371">Differentials should include causes of dermatitis in swine, such as exudative epidermitis, dermatomycosis, swine pox, parakeratosis, niacin and biotin deficiencies, sunburn, photosensitization, and insect bites (<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Cargill and Davies, 1999</xref>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec320"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para372">Mange infestations are fairly common in small conventional swine herds in the United States. Nursing piglets first obtain the mites from an infected sow through direct contact. These breeding sows with hyperkeratotic encrustations in their ears are the primary reservoirs of <italic>S. scabiei</italic>
var. <italic>suis</italic>
mites. Group housing of pigs, especially from various sources, will facilitate spread of mites. Spread of mites through environmental contamination is less likely but still possible, as mites can survive off the host for a few days or even longer if ambient temperatures are cool. Herd-to-herd transmission is by introduction of a carrier pig; other species are not known to harbor this mite.</p>

<sec id="cesec321"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para373">Papular dermatitis will be seen in growing swine with or without positive skin scrapings for the sarcoptid mites.

) and have an associated eosinophilic perivasculitis (<xref rid="bib123" ref-type="bibr">Hollanders and Vercruysse, 1990</xref>
). In mature animals, thick, crusty scabs with positive skin scrapings are typical findings. Histologic sections will reveal offending mites burrowing to the level of the deep stratum corneum and stratum malpighii, producing hyperkeratosis and acanthosis (<xref rid="bib140" ref-type="bibr">Jones and Hunt, 1983</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec322"><title>Pathogenesis.</title>

). This generally occurs several weeks postinfection. The first 3 weeks postinfection, the females burrow into the skin and a covering of keratinized encrustations develops. These crusts fall off after 7 weeks, and the mites leave the burrows (<xref rid="bib194" ref-type="bibr">Morsy <italic>et al.,</italic>
1989</xref>
). This is seen clinically as rubbing and development of encrustations containing mites, followed by papular dermatitis as hypersensitivity develops. If the rubbing is severe, persistent hyperkeratosis will develop. The hyperkeratotic form is seen more often in mature animals (<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">Cargill and Davies, 1999</xref>

<title>Parvovirus</title>
<p id="para405"><italic>Etiology</italic>
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a disease of swine characterized by embryonic and fetal infection and death when susceptible sows and gilts are exposed to the virus during the first 70 days of gestation. The infection typically causes no observable clinical signs in the infected female, and its major impact on animal health relates to the agent's ability to interfere with live births. Porcine parvovirus is one of the major infectious causes of embryonic and fetal death (<xref rid="bib184" ref-type="bibr">Mengeling <italic>et al.,</italic>
1991</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para406">The disease is caused by a single-stranded DNA virus classified in the genus <italic>Parvovirus,</italic>
family Parvoviridae. All isolates of the virus found in swine have been antigenically similar, if not identical, and are also antigenically related to other members of the genus. Although the viral particles have actually been identified in pig feces, there is no evidence implicating that PPV replicates in the intestinal crypt epithelium or causes enteric disease in swine, as the agent does in other species (<xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Brown <italic>et al.,</italic>
1980</xref>
).</p>
<sec id="cesec358"><sec id="cesec359"><title>Clinical signs.</title>
<p id="para407">Acute infection of both postnatal and pregnant dams is subclinical; however, the pigs will have a transient, mild leukopenia within 10 days after the initial exposure. The only clinical sequela to exposure is maternal reproductive failure. Dams can cycle back into estrus, farrow fewer pigs per litter, or farrow a large proportion of mummified fetuses. Typically, an epizootic of PPV starts as a subclinical infection and culminates with the delivery of mummified fetuses, usually at or near term. Most of the infected fetuses have a crown-rump length of 17 cm or less because those infected after day 70 are able to respond to the viral assault and survive (Mengeling <italic>et al.,</italic>
1993). Infertility, abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death, prolonged gestations, and reduced neonatal viability have also been attributed to PPV.</p>
<p id="para408">There is no evidence that PPV impacts on either fertility or libido of boars (<xref rid="bib289" ref-type="bibr">Thacker <italic>et al.,</italic>

).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec360"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para409">Porcine parvovirus is ubiquitous among swine worldwide. In general, infection is enzootic in most herds, and with rare exception, sows are immune. Also, gilts usually contract PPV before conception and develop an active immunity that persists through life. Disease occurs when there is a large population of gilts that have not developed immunity prior to conceiving. Gilts are most commonly infected via the oronasal route, and prenatal pigs are infected via the transplacental route.</p>
<p id="para410">Nursing pigs absorb protective PPV antibody from colostrum. These titers diminish to levels that are not protective when the piglets are 3–6 months of age. The significance of the passively acquired antibody is that it interferes with the development of active immunity until the 3- to 6-month mark (<xref rid="bib216" ref-type="bibr">Paul and Mengeling, 1980</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para411">The major reservoir for PPV is environmental. The virus is thermostable and resistant to many disinfectants. It has been shown that pigs transmit PPV for about 2 weeks after exposure, but the pens they were housed in remained infectious for up to 4 months (<xref rid="bib183" ref-type="bibr">Mengeling and Paul, 1986</xref>

<p id="para412">It is also possible that immunotolerant carriers of PPV, resulting from early <italic>in utero</italic>
infection but not death, are carriers (<xref rid="bib138" ref-type="bibr">Johnson, 1973</xref>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec364"><title>Diagnosis.</title>
<p id="para416">Porcine parvovirus is one of the primary diagnostic considerations when swine exhibit embryonic or fetal death. Gilts are the population primarily at risk. The lack of maternal illness, abortions, or fetal developmental anomalies differentiate this disease from other causes of reproductive failure. In addition, identifying mummified fetuses that have a crown-rump length of ≤ 17 cm is a strong indicator that PPV is the infectious agent at play.</p>
<p id="para417">The definitive diagnosis can be made by identifying viral antigen by immunofluorescent (IF) microscopy from sections of fetal tissues. Serologic testing for antibodies (i.e., ELISA) are recommend only when tissues from mummified fetuses are not available. Results from serum are of value if antibody is not detected or if samples are collected at intervals that document seroconversion for PPV. Since PPV is ubiquitous, the presence of antibody in a single sample is meaningless. Detection of antibody in sera of fetuses/stillborns before they nurse is evidence of <italic>in utero</italic>
infection, as the maternal antibody does not cross the placenta (<xref rid="bib53" ref-type="bibr">Chaniago <italic>et al.,</italic>

).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec365"><title>Prevention and treatment.</title>
<p id="para418">There is no treatment for the reproductive failure associated with PPV. Prevention involves either naturally infecting gilts with PPV or vaccinating them prior to pregnancy. Through herd-management practices, natural infections can be promoted. Seronegative gilts can be housed with seropositive sows. Vaccines are used extensively in the United States. They are administered several weeks before conception but after the disappearance of passively acquired colostral antibody. In essence, the window for vaccination is small in herds keyed for production. Vaccination for boars is also recommended.</p>

<title>Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome</title>

<p id="para419">A new swine disease was first identified in the United States in the late 1980s. Hallmark signs included reproductive disorders, high piglet mortality, and respiratory disease seen in a wide age range of animals. The disease became known officially as PRRS (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome) but is often referred to in the literature as SIRS (swine infertility and respiratory syndrome). The disease has now spread into many countries and has escalated into one of the major causes of reproductive losses and respiratory disease in swine.</p>
<p id="para420">The causative agent is a single-stranded RNA virus classified in the order Nidovirales, family Arteriviridae, genus <italic>Arterivirus.</italic>
This agent shares structural and functional organization with others in the genus, including lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus, equine arteritis virus, and simian hemorrhagic fever virus. These viruses in general are known to have high rates of mutation. The isolates found in the United States (VR-2332) and Europe (Lelystad) have genomic and serologic differences, although it is believed they merged from a common ancestor. The U.S. isolates differ genomically but cross-react serologically. Current efforts are being directed toward determining if infection with a single isolate provides immunologic cross protection. Recent infections in vaccinated herds lend suspicion that immunization does not provide protection across all isolates (<xref rid="bib56" ref-type="bibr">Collins <italic>et al.,</italic>

</sec>
<sec id="cesec369"><title>Clinical signs.</title>
<p id="para421">The clinical presentation of PRRS infection depends on the age of the pig and the gestation status when infected. In addition, the clinical presentation can vary depending on complicating infections with viruses or bacteria. Late gestational abortions typically occur when animals are infected during the third trimester and can occur sporadically or sweep throughout the population of animals. Other reproductive manifestations that have been documented include delayed parturition and premature farrowing resulting in mummified or stillborn fetuses. Clinical signs in infected females vary from none to anorexia, fever, pneumonia, agalactia, red/blue discoloration of ears and vulva, subcutaneous edema, and a delayed return to estrus.</p>
<p id="para422">Clinical signs in PRRSV-infected newborn pigs also vary in frequency and severity. Dyspnea and tachypnea are the most characteristic clinical signs, with other signs including periocular and eyelid edema, conjunctivitis, blue discoloration of the ears, diarrhea, and CNS signs. Mortality can reach 100%. As the pigs reach postweaning age, the clinical signs shift to include fever, pneumonia, failure to thrive, and significant mortality caused by otherwise non-life-threatening concurrent bacterial infections.</p>
<p id="para423">The susceptibility and resulting impact of secondary bacterial infections in pigs infected with PRRSV depends on the PRRSV isolate, the swine genetic composition, management practices, and environmental factors. Subclinical infections occur commonly as the pig continues to mature, with the only indication of infection being seroconversion to the virus. Occasionally a transient fever and inappetence or loss of libido can be observed.</p>
<p id="para424">Hematologic parameters congruent with infection include a decrease in lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes at 4 days postinfection, with a concurrent increase in band neutrophils. Four-week-old pigs had decreased RBC counts, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrits (<xref rid="bib240" ref-type="bibr">Rossow <italic>et al.,</italic>
1994</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para425">Differential diagnoses include parvovirus, pseudorabies, and leptospirosis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec370"><title>Epizootiology and transmission.</title>
<p id="para426">This virus is spread predominantly through direct contact between infected and naive pigs, although the route of fetal PRRSV infection has not been identified. The virus is carried in blood, oropharyngeal fluids, semen, feces, and urine. Transmission by aerosolization is possible, though routinely occurs only over short distances. The virus establishes a foothold by infecting macrophages located within mucosal surfaces. The virus infection is limited to domestic swine with the exception of a single report occurring in mallard ducks (<xref rid="bib323" ref-type="bibr">Zimmerman <italic>et al.,</italic>
1995</xref>
). The agent is considered to be a “slow spreader.” The virus can be identified in semen prior to seroconversion as well as after cessation of viremia, indicating that virus isolation from serum and serology may not be an adequate indicator of infection status in boars. The disease does persist in infected swine in a transmissible, viable state, often without stimulating antibody production, thereby making serologic screening for the disease inaccurate. Pigs subclinically infected with PRRSV are thought to be the key factor in disease transmission within herds (<xref rid="bib239" ref-type="bibr">Rossow, 1998</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec371"><title>Diagnosis.</title>
<p id="para427">The viral infection is most accurately diagnosed through the demonstration of PRRS by virus isolation, fluorescent antibody examination, immunohistochemistry, or PCR in concert with clinical signs and characteristic histologic lesions. Exposure to the virus can be documented through the use of serology testing for anti-PRRSV antibodies; however, if pigs are vaccinated with the modified live-PRRSV vaccine, the current serologic tests cannot differentiate between vaccine virus and field PRRSV isolates. It is also important to note that pigs vaccinated with the modified live vaccine can transmit vaccine virus to naive pigs, resulting in infection and seroconversion of the naive animal (<xref rid="bib239" ref-type="bibr">Rossow, 1998</xref>
).</p>
<p id="para428">The virus can most easily be located in lung tissue, lymphoid tissue, heart, brain, nasal turbinates, and reproductive organs. Again, it is important to note that modified live-PRRSV vaccine virus can also be identified from these tissues, and pathogenic PRRSV isolates must be differentiated from the vaccine virus.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec372"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para429">Gross lesions in young piglets include mottled lungs with tan foci of consolidation; lymphadenopathy of the mesenteric and middle iliac nodes, which are tan and may contain cysts; moderately enlarged and rounded hearts; and clear fluid in the pericardial space and abdominal cavity.</p>
<p id="para430">Microscopic lesions consist of a multifocal lymphohistiocytic myocarditis; an interstitial pneumonia with mononuclear cell infiltrates, resulting in septal thickening; peribronchial and peribronchiolar lymphohistiocytic cuffing; hypertrophy and hyperplasia of type II pneumocytes; and filling of alveolar spaces with necrotic and normal macrophages. There is also follicular hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and necrosis in lymphoid tissues and a mild lymphohistiocytic choroiditis with cuffing of vessels in the meninges, choroid plexus, and brain (<xref rid="bib108" ref-type="bibr">Halbur <italic>et al.,</italic>
1995</xref>
). Lesions in fetuses consist of myocarditis with fibrosis, arteritis, and encephalitis (<xref rid="bib241" ref-type="bibr">Rossow <italic>et al.,</italic>
1996a</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec373"><title>Pathogenesis.</title>
<p id="para431">The virus has been demonstrated in urine, feces, nasal secretions, semen, saliva, and serum, and all are potential routes of exposure (<xref rid="bib239" ref-type="bibr">Rossow, 1998</xref>
). The virus has been shown to enter via the nasal epithelium, bronchial epithelium, and tonsillar and pulmonary macrophages, followed by replication in macrophages, with a subsequent viremia (<xref rid="bib242" ref-type="bibr">Rossow <italic>et al.,</italic>
1996b</xref>
). Migration of infected macrophages across the placenta may be one of the mechanisms for transplacental infection of fetuses.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec374"><title>Prevention and control.</title>
<p id="para432">Vaccination of pigs with a modified live-PRRSV vaccine has protected pigs from clinical disease when the pigs were challenged with heterologous PRRSV isolates; however, other reports have shown that the vaccine is not universally protective against all isolates of PRRSV. Efforts should be made to obtain pigs from sources that are free of PRRSV. Pigs coming from different sources should be isolated from each other.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec375"><title>Treatment.</title>
<p id="para433">Once pigs show signs of disease, supportive therapy should be implemented. This can include antibiotics to control concurrent bacterial infections and vitamin and food supplements until animals regain their appetite.</p>

<title>Porcine Stress Syndrome</title>
<sec id="cesec379"><sec id="cesec380"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para434">Porcine stress syndrome (PSS) refers to a cascade of physiologic events and clinical signs that occur in pigs that have a mutation in the calcium-release channel protein (ryanodine receptor [RYR]). This mutation results in a hypersensitive triggering mechanism of the calcium-release channel in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to various stressors, such as gas anesthetics or stressful environmental conditions. The lack of proper calcium control within the membranous portions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria is thought to initiate the cascade of events that results in the syndrome (<xref rid="bib208" ref-type="bibr">O'Brien <italic>et. al.,</italic>
1991</xref>
; <xref rid="bib98" ref-type="bibr">Fujii <italic>et al.,</italic>
1991</xref>
). Stress-susceptible pigs are also known to overrespond to stressful stimuli, with excessive β-adrenergic receptor stimulation, lower rates of lactate, alanine, and aspartate conversion to carbon dioxide by the liver, abnormal phosphorus metabolism, and a much higher cortisol and thyroxine turnover rate.</p>
<p id="para435">Animals carrying the genetic defect are found throughout the world with a frequency varying between 0 to 89% among herds (<xref rid="bib308" ref-type="bibr">Webb <italic>et al.,</italic>
1992</xref>
). Genotypic analyses have indicated that the mutation arose from a single founder animal. The mutation is found in five major breeds of swine: Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc, Pietrain, and Poland China. However, there are reports of this disease occurring in other breeds, including miniature potbellied pigs (<xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">Claxton-Gill <italic>et al.,</italic>
1993</xref>
). The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive with variable penetrance. This syndrome has also been reported in humans, dogs, cats, and horses.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec381"><title>Clinical signs.</title>
<p id="para436">In a laboratory setting, development of PSS has most commonly been associated with exposure to halothane and succinylcholine; however, methoxyflurane, enflurane, and isoflurane have all been shown to be capable of eliciting a reaction in susceptible swine. The course of the disease is variable, ranging from abatement of clinical signs when anesthesia is stopped to fatality.</p>
<p id="para437">Initial signs include tachycardia, tachypnea, muscle rigidity, and hyperthermia. Clinicopathologic changes include metabolic acidosis, myoglobinemia, hyperkalemia, and hyperglycemia. These metabolic derangements frequently lead to cardiovascular collapse and death. In addition to the typical manifestation, nonrigid and normothermic forms have been described. Signs of this disease are less pronounced in young pigs and those that are heterozygous for the trait. In nonanesthetized pigs, stressful situations will lead to the early signs of the disease, which include muscle and tail tremors. Progression of the syndrome leads to dyspnea, blanched and reddened areas on the skin, increased body temperature, and cyanosis. Muscle rigidity and cardiovascular collapse follow.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec382"><title>Necropsy.</title>
<p id="para438">Pigs exhibiting this syndrome present with a very rapid development of rigor mortis. In addition, many of the animals will have muscles that appear very pale and are very soft, almost watery in texture, due to the high lactic acid content in muscles that occurs postmortem. Antemortem histologic changes have not been identified in these animals.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec383"><title>Prevention and control.</title>
<p id="para439">The disease is best controlled by identifying those animals who carry the genetic mutation and eliminating them from the breeding stock. A readily available, inexpensive DNA-based test can be used to screen for the mutation (<xref rid="bib209" ref-type="bibr">O'Brien <italic>et al.,</italic>
1993</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec384"><title>Treatment.</title>
<p id="para440">Early recognition of the disease is the key to treatment. Anesthetic delivery should be discontinued immediately and 100% oxygen delivered. Additional treatment includes sodium bicarbonate to combat the metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. Active cooling of the animal may be done by ice packing and IV administration of cooled fluids, or by gastric and/or rectal lavage with iced saline. Dantrolene, an agent that prevents PSS by decreasing release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum while allowing calcium uptake to continue, is highly effective in stopping the progression of the syndrome when administered at the onset of signs. After the crisis is alleviated, the animal must be monitored closely for 48 hr; redevelopment of the syndrome in response to minor stressors can occur. Dantrolene can also be given as preventive therapy in animals known to be susceptible.</p>

<title>Salt Poisoning</title>
<sec id="cesec386"><sec id="cesec387"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para441">Salt poisoning, also known as sodium ion toxicosis, is a condition that can easily occur in swine. It can be caused directly by the animal consuming excessive amounts of sodium. This happens infrequently, as animals are rarely presented with feed that has excessively high sodium content. However, feeding milk by-products such as whey, which has a high sodium content, has been shown to cause the disease. By far, the most common initiator for the condition is water deprivation. Usually, signs are initiated after a minimum of 24 hr of deprivation, but the condition can also occur after just a few hours of deprivation.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec388"><title>Clinical signs.</title>
<p id="para442">Initially, the animal presents as being very thirsty and constipated. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement, which may be delayed for several days after the insult, follows. The pigs will appear tense and apprehensive, with ears pricked and staring ahead with the head slightly elevated. The nose will then twitch, the eyes will close, and a rhythmic chomping of the jaws follows. Animals may also appear blind and deaf. Pigs near death may paddle continuously. If the condition occurs because of excessive salt consumption rather than water deprivation, vomiting and diarrhea may be part of the presentation.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec389"><title>Pathogenesis.</title>
<p id="para443">Salt poisoning is caused by hyperosmolarity of the CNS. When the animal rehydrates, the osmotic pressure causes water to be drawn into the CNS, resulting in swelling and edema.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec390"><title>Diagnosis and pathology.</title>
<p id="para444">The diagnosis can easily be made if the clinical signs are matched with known water deprivation. Histologic evaluation reveals eosinophilic cuffing of the meningeal and cerebral vessels. Supporting findings include gastritis, constipation, or enteritis. A laminar subcortical polioence-phalomalacia may occur if pigs are subacutely affected. The animal may present with hypernatremia; however, if the animal has had a chance to rehydrate, this finding will not be present. Differential diagnoses include pseudorabies, hog cholera, and edema disease. Other causes of toxicoses, such as food poisoning, should also be considered.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec391"><title>Treatment.</title>
<p id="para445">Unfortunately, treatment is generally ineffective, and in fact, the condition is likely to be exacerbated by rehydration.</p>

<title>Gastric Ulcers</title>
<sec id="cesec393"><sec id="cesec394"><title>Etiology.</title>
<p id="para446">Gastric ulceration in pigs refers to a condition in which ulceration of a specific region of the pig's stomach, the pars oesophagea, occurs. This condition has been diagnosed with increasing frequency since the 1950s, with the distribution being worldwide and varied in occurrence. To date, the pathogenesis of the disease remains speculative.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec395"><title>Clinical signs and differential diagnoses.</title>
<p id="para447">The clinical signs vary depending on duration of the ulceration. In the peracute form, apparently healthy animals are simply found dead. In the acute form, pigs will become pale and weak, with an increased respiratory rate. Vomiting of blood and passage of bloody, tarry feces are seen. In the subacute or chronic form, the animal will be anemic and anorexic, with passage of dark feces that may be intermittent or persistent. Occasionally, the only sign observed may be the passage of dark, hard feces. Pigs of either sex and any breed may be affected. Usually, single pigs are affected, and body temperature is normal or slightly subnormal. Anemia can be detected hematologically if the chronic/subacute form is present. Differential diagnoses include swine dysentery, <italic>Salmonella choleraesuis,</italic>
transmissible gastroenteritis, and intestinal hemorrhagic syndrome. These diseases can be differentiated relatively easily, as they impact on groupings of animals and result in high body temperatures, except in the hemorrhagic syndrome.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec396"><title>Epizootiology.</title>
<p id="para448">Although this condition has been identified for decades, the definitive pathogenesis is unknown. Nutritional factors, such as increased concentrations of copper and unsaturated fatty acids, and decreased concentrations of tocopherols and selenium, have been shown to induce the condition. Fasted pigs exposed to stressful environmental conditions had a higher incidence of ulcers compared to controls. An increased incidence of ulceration was produced when pigs were fed finely ground diets. Many species of bacteria and fungi have been isolated from ulcer lesions, but none have been shown to be causative. One study investigated the prevalence of <italic>Gastrospirillum suis</italic>
in pigs with gastric ulcer but found no correlation between its presence and the occurrence of ulceration (<xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Barbosa <italic>et al.,</italic>
1995</xref>
). Further investigations are needed to better define the etiology of this condition.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec397"><title>Pathology: Gross.</title>
<p id="para449">The pars oesophagea contains no glands and is covered by stratified squamous epithelium continuous with the esophagus. In a healthy animal, this surface appears white and smooth. Lesions can first be detected as a roughened, irregular surface. Ulceration follows, with a disruption in the epithelium that may be small, discrete, and single to multiple, large, and irregular. Blood or blood clots can be seen at the ulceration site, as well as in the stomach or in the gastrointestinal tract. If the subacute/chronic form of the condition is present, chronic ulceration usually ensues. This is characterized by the presence of fibrous tissue and the contraction of the area of ulceration.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec398"><title>Pathology: Microscopic.</title>
<p id="para450">The pars oesophagea in the pig is covered by stratified squamous epithelium. In the early stages of the ulcer formation, parakeratosis of the epithelium occurs. Occasionally, infiltration of some polymorphonuclear cells occurs, but usually inflammatory cells are absent. The epithelium is weakened, and erosion of the tissue eventually occurs as a result of the parakeratosis. Once the underlying tissues are exposed to the gastric juices, diffuse necrosis and bleeding characteristic of any ulcer occurs. Chronic ulcers develop as fibrous connective tissue forms in the underlying lamina propria. The muscularis mucosae may hypertrophy or may degenerate and be replaced by collagenized fibrous tissue. Occasionally, the ulcer may penetrate the serosa.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec399"><title>Prevention.</title>
<p id="para451">Providing pigs with appropriate feed is a prudent measure to take toward disease prevention. The diet should be more coarsely ground (not less than 700 μm in size), not contain excessive unsaturated fatty acids, and have the right balance of vitamin E and selenium. Stressful conditions such as overcrowding, fasting, and unstable social groupings should be avoided.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec400"><title>Treatment.</title>
<p id="para452">Early stages of ulceration are not typically identified, so treatment is often not initiated until the condition has progressed to a point where treatment is ineffective. Options include administering nonabsorbable antacids, and vitamin E and selenium, as well as H-2 blockers (cimetidine, Zantac, etc.).</p>

<p id="para454">A wide variety of either venous or arterial vascular-access lines are commonly used in swine and maintained for variable periods. Bacteria can be easily introduced into these lines if strict adherence to sterile technique is not observed during flushing. Improper maintenance of the catheter can also result in seeding of thrombi.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec406"><title>Clinical signs.</title>

<p id="para456">A suppurative exudate may be present around the external access port or around subcutaneous implants. The entire catheter tract should be dissected to observe for any gross evidence of infection. Cultures should be taken of any suspicious sites. There may be a suppurative pneumonia with consolidation, suppurative emboli in multiple organs, renal infarcts (<xref rid="f13" ref-type="fig">Fig. 13</xref>

<title>Neoplastic Diseases</title>
<p id="para462">It has been touted that neoplasms occur with less frequency in pigs than in other domestic animals; however, this commonly held belief may be influenced by the fact that the majority of the pig population is slaughtered before reaching an age when cancer would normally appear with any significant incidence. The tumors that are reported are those seen in young pigs, with the most common tumors being lymphosarcoma, embyronal nephroma, and melanoma.</p>
<p id="para463">Lymphosarcomas affect primarily younger animals but can affect mature animals of either sex. Most cases are classified as multicentric; thymic is the next most frequent classification. Infiltration of the liver, spleen, and kidney predominates. Histologically, pigs typically exhibit lymphocytic lymphosarcomas; however, lymphoblastic, histiocytic, and mixed types do occur.</p>
<p id="para464">Embryonal nephromas affect pigs under 1 year of age, with a predominance in females. The tumor arises in the kidney parenchyma, is typically unilateral, and may spread to the lungs and liver. Histologically, the classifications that occur most commonly are nephroblastic and epithelial.</p>
<p id="para465">Melanomas occur as congenital lesions with exceptionally high frequency in Sinclair miniature swine (85% incidence at 1 year of age) and in Duroc and Hormel breeds. The disease is occasionally seen in other breeds as well. The tumors can be single or multiple and may affect the skin only or may involve metastasis to multiple internal organs. Initially, the skin tumor appears as a flat black spot that becomes a raised nodule. The tumor initiates as a focus of melanocytic hyperplasia within the basal layer. Spontaneous regression, thought to be caused by the cytotoxic effects of infiltrated tumor-specific T lymphocytes, occurs in the vast majority of cases.</p>

<title>Umbilical/Inguinal Hernia</title>
<p id="para466">Inguinal and umbilical hernias are two of the most common developmental defects found in swine, with the occurrence of inguinal hernias exceeding that of umbilical. Inguinal hernias occur mainly in male pigs, with increasing presence by 5 weeks of age. It may occur singularly or bilaterally. Incidence is controlled by culling affected animals, as the condition is believed to be inherited polygenically; however, a recent study concluded that umbilical lesions such as omphalitis or umbilical abscesses are associated with herniation (Searcy-Bernal <italic>et al.,</italic>
1994). The occurrence of umbilical hernias varies with breed and sex but can reach 1.2%.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec416"><label>2.</label>
<title>Starvation</title>
<p id="para467">Starvation is one of the main causes of noninfectious neonatal mortality. In one study, it accounted for 43% of postnatal deaths. Neonatal pigs are deficient in hepatic gluconeogenesis; consequently, they are very susceptible to hypoglycemia with short periods of milk deprivation (36 hr). Factors contributing to this condition include congenital abnormalities, trauma caused by the female, chilling, and female hypogalactia. Infectious hypogalactia (also referred to as MMA for mastitis, metritis, and agalactia) is a condition in which one or more of the mammary glands are inflamed and infected with gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxin release interferes with the release of prolactin and subsequently prevents milk letdown. Oxytocin, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs are helpful. Tranquilizers such as chlorpromazine have also been shown to have lactogenic effects.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="cesec417"><label>3.</label>
<title>Iron Deficiency Anemia</title>
<p id="para468">Iron deficiency anemia of the microcytic hypochromic type occurs commonly in suckling pigs that are not supplemented after birth. The pig fetus has minimal capacity for iron storage, and sow's milk contains low concentrations of iron. Unsupple-mented piglets will exhibit rough hair coat and elevated respirations. Necropsy findings include a dilated heart and pulmonary edema. It is recommended that piglets receive 100–300 mg of supplemental iron between the time of birth and the time they begin to eat solid food. Injections are preferred over oral supplements, as oral administration of iron may upset the balance of gastrointestinal flora.</p>

<sec id="cesec418"><label>4.</label>
<title>Behavioral Problems/Fight or Traumatic Injuries (Tail, Ear, and Flank Biting)</title>
<p id="para469">Tail, vulva, ear, and flank biting is an inconsistent but widespread problem of group-housed swine. The clinical outcomes are damaged areas of skin that can become infected, leading to abscesses (<xref rid="bib131" ref-type="bibr">Huey, 1996</xref>
), poor performance (<xref rid="bib305" ref-type="bibr">Wallgren and Lindahl, 1996</xref>
), suppurative arthritis (<xref rid="bib62" ref-type="bibr">Cowart, 1995</xref>
), and possible mortality. The basis for this behavior probably stems from the natural tendency of pigs to root and chew to obtain food in their natural environment. In confined group housing, pen mates, for lack of anything better, take the place of natural rooting structures. Iron deficiency anemia has been considered a possible cause for this behavior in piglets. Inadequate ambient temperature control, ventilation, pen and feeder space, and access to water (<xref rid="bib233" ref-type="bibr">Rizvi <italic>et al.,</italic>
1998</xref>
) are also considered contributing factors. However, the most plausible explanation is the lack of sufficient environmental enrichment. Corrective measures should include access to rooting materials, including wood-chip bedding, straw, and “indestructible” polyethylene balls. When groups are formed, the animals should be of similar age and size and of numbers appropriate for the space. Tail docking is also considered a preventive measure since this reduces the incidence of tail biting (<xref rid="bib117" ref-type="bibr">Hemsworth, 1999</xref>
).</p>
