Host-pathogen interplay at primary infection sites in pigs challenged with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
This study implies a metabolic adaptation of A. pleuropneumoniae to the porcine upper respiratory tract already during early infection.

Prevention of the disease caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App)
This article explains the main preventive measures against App, focusing on the use of antimicrobials and vaccines.
Diagnosis of the infection caused by App
This article is about the diagnosis of the infection caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) in acute, chronic or subclinical cases.
Assessment of different samples to detect main swine respiratory pathogens
The data present bronchial scraping as an equally effective or even better alternative to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for detecting main porcine respiratory disease complex agents.
Health protocols for replacements: respiratory and systemic diseases (2/3)
We are talking about PRRSV, M. hyo, PCV2, App and swine influenza virus.
Control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (II): chronic infection
It has not proved possible to actively eliminate App from chronically affected permanently occupied breeder-feeder herds.
Control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (I): Acute outbreak
This paper describes the acute outbreak of App within a pig population and how control may be achieved.
Clinical case: Erythema multiforme and respiratory disease in sows/gilts housed in group systems
An erythema multiforme (EM) was noticed in the majority (90%) of breeding stock, associated with respiratory problems and without mortality.
Clinical diagnosis of lung diseases in pigs by infrared thermography
Results demonstrate that IRT can help to detect inflammatory lung alterations in the pig lung.
Clinical case: Sudden death of replacement gilts a few days after delivery
Carcasses showed a good body condition and a pronounced cyanosis in the area of the ventral abdomen and the ventral throat.
Clinical case: Control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
This clinical case study tracks the long term pattern and control of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) disease in a breeder feeder farm through the 1990’s.
Interaction between PRRS and App
App control is an essential link to control pleuroneumonia in PRRS-positive herds.
Association between transmission rate and disease severity for Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infection in pigs
Results suggest that clinical outbreaks of A. pleuropneumoniae are unlikely to be caused only by spread of the pathogen by clinically diseased pigs.
Pathogen presence in feral pigs and their movement around two commercial piggeries in Queensland, Australia
The presence of pathogens in feral pigs in such close proximity to commercial piggeries could pose a biosecurity risk.
Survival of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae outside the pig
The survival of A. pleuropneumoniae was investigated under controlled laboratory conditions.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae possesses an antiviral activity against PRRSv
A pre-infection of SJPL and PAM cells with App blocked completely PRRSV infection.
