LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE INFECTION IN NATURALLY INFECTED PIGS
The results may have practical implications since the decision to vaccinate against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is usually based on punctual analyses, and maybe other approaches should be followed
The objective of this work was to study the dinamics of M. hyopneumoniae infection along the life-time of three groups of naturally infected pigs from the same farm and correlate it with sow parity and antibody titters at farrowing, appearance of macroscopic and microscopic lung lesions.
