Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a nonmotile, Gram-negative, encapsulated coccobacillus bacterium found in the family Pasteurellaceae. [4] [5] It exhibits β-hemolysis activity, [6] thus explaining its growth on chocolate or blood agar, but must be supplemented with NAD ('V factor') to facilitate growth for one of its biological variants (biovar 1).

Actinobacillosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Actinobacillus. [1] It is more commonly associated with animals than with humans. [2]One of the most common forms seen by veterinarians is mouth actinobacillosis of cattle, due to Actinobacillus lignieresii.
The outbreak began in November 2010 in pig farms in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and has since spread in the country rapidly. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] More than 100 cases of foot-and-mouth disease have been confirmed in the country so far, [ 1 ] and South Korean officials have started a mass cull of approximately 12 percent of the entire domestic pig ...
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) or hoof-and-mouth disease (HMD) is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that primarily affects even-toed ungulates, including domestic and wild bovids. [1] [2] The virus causes a high fever lasting two to six days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and near the hoof that may rupture and cause lameness.
The viral research section concentrates on diseases of livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs, dogs, cats, and rabbits that have a viral origin. The diseases include but are not limited to African swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, Newcastle disease, Gumboro disease, parainfluenza virus, egg drop syndrome, capripox and rabies. [15]
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP – also known as lung plague), is a contagious bacterial disease that afflicts the lungs of cattle, buffalo, zebu, and yaks. It is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides, and the symptoms are pneumonia and inflammation of the lung membranes. [1] The incubation period is 20 to 123 days.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infection caused by a group of enteroviruses. [10] It typically begins with a fever and feeling generally unwell . [ 10 ] This is followed a day or two later by flat discolored spots or bumps that may blister, on the hands, feet and mouth and occasionally buttocks and groin.
