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 ...
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.
Actinobacillus is a genus of Gram-negative, nonmotile and non-spore-forming, oval to rod-shaped bacteria occurring as parasites or pathogens in mammals, birds, and reptiles. [1] It is a member of the family Pasteurellaceae . [ 2 ]
A. equuli can commonly be isolated from the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity of adult healthy horses and can be important for diseases of foals, adult horses and pigs. [6] It is a commensal bacteria unless it multiplies to overwhelming numbers, at which point it will cause disease.

Ruptured blisters on the feet of a pig. Susceptible animals include cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs, [4] [5] antelope, deer, and bison. It has also been known to infect hedgehogs and elephants; [3] [6] llamas and alpacas may develop mild symptoms, but are resistant to the disease and do not pass it on to others of the same species.

Amid mounting fears over the potentially deadly diseases the creatures can spread, one mother is raising concerns about a type of tick so small most people wouldn't be able to spot it on their own ...
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).
