In the European Union, tildipirosin is indicated for the treatment and metaphylaxis of swine respiratory disease associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, P. multocida, Bordetella bronchiseptica, and Glaesserella parasuis sensitive to tildipirosin; [3] and for the treatment and prevention of bovine respiratory disease associated with M ...
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 ]
Adult pigs may show signs relating to pneumonia, lethargy, anorexia, skin lesions similar to erysipelas, and sudden death. Diagnosis relies on the culture of sampled tissues to isolate the organism. Signs and necropsy findings may mimic diseases such as erysipelas, Glasser's disease, and Streptococcus suis or Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae ...
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a species of bacteria known to cause the disease porcine enzootic pneumonia, a highly contagious and chronic disease affecting pigs. [2] As with other mollicutes, M. hyopneumoniae is small in size (400–1200 nm), has a small genome (893–920 kilo-base pairs (kb)) and lacks a cell wall. [3]
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most common and economically devastating infectious disease affecting beef cattle in the world. [1] It is a complex, bacterial or viral infection that causes pneumonia in calves which can be fatal.
