Porcine Hemophilus parahemolyticus pneumonia in Saskatchewan. II. Bacteriological and experimental studies.

The incidence of porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Hemophilus parahemolyticus has shown a marked increase in recent years in some countries. Isolation of a strain distinct from European serotypes was made from a natural outbreak of the disease in pigs in Saskatchewan. Experimentally infected pigs did not develop clinical signs but pathologic-anatomic studies of lungs revealed the presence of necrotizing fibrinous pneumonia with intense proliferation of mesenchymal tissue elements. Similar extensive fibroblastic activity had been found to be a typical feature in the natural infection. It is speculated that the Saskatchewan strain may have invasive patterns different from European serotypes.

Porcine Hemophilus parahemolyticus pneumonia in Saskatchewan. I. Natural occurrence and findings.

An outbreak of fibrinous pleuropneumonia was observed in October 1971 in Saskatchewan on a farm of 900 feeder pigs. Morbidity and mortality were low. Pathologic-anatomic findings included fibrinous pleuritis, pulmonary vascular thrombosis and necrotizing fibrinous pneumonia. Hemophilus parahemolyticus was isolated from the lungs of affected animals. In addition pulmonary lesions were found which suggested an adenovirus infection. It was speculated that the viral infection possibly predisposed the pigs to the Hemophilus infection. The H. parahemolyticus isolate was sensitive to common antibiotics.
