Porcine atrophic rhinitis

SUMMARY: In snouts of pigs from 5 of 8 piggeries in New South Wales examined, there was evidence of severe atrophic rhinitis. In 220 pigs examined from one piggery there was no correlation between the severity of atrophic rhinitis and growth rate or back-fat thickness. There was also no correlation between the extent of lung pathology and back-fat thickness. Pleurisy or pericarditis did cause a significant reduction in growth rate.     

Relationship of porcine cytomegalovirus and B bronchiseptica to atrophic rhinitis in gnotobiotic piglets.

Both porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) and Bordetella bronchiseptica produced rhinitis and pneumonia when inoculated intranasally into young gnotobiotic pigs. With PCMV the nasal lesions were confirmed to the lamina propria, while Bordetella produced atrophy of the turbinate bones and hyperplasia and degeneration of the nasal epithelium. Some exacerbation of the lesions was observed in the nasal mucosa of pigs given both agents, but the degree of bone atrophy was not increased.     

Induced atrophic rhinitis in rats

Infections with Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida were inducted in newborn specific-pathogen-free rats. Turbinate atrophy was quantified by measuring the length of the osseous core of the ventral turbinates. Bordetella bronchiseptica readily colonized the nasal cavity. Inoculated rats developed serum agglutinating antibodies to B bronchiseptica. Turbinate atrophy, correlating with a severe inflammatory reaction, was observed after dual inoculation with B bronchiseptica or after a single inoculation when the inoculum contained relatively large numbers of B bronchiseptica. Pasteurella multocida only rarely colonized the nasal cavity, even after prior instillation of weak acetic acid solution or B bronchiseptica.     

猪传染性猪萎缩性鼻炎的研究进展

传染性萎缩性鼻炎(Swine infectious atrophic rhinitis,AR)又称慢性萎缩性鼻炎或猪萎缩性鼻炎,主要是由支气管败血波氏杆菌(Bordetella bronchiseptica,Bb)和产毒素多杀巴氏杆菌(Toxigenic Pasteurella multocida,T+Pm)引起猪的一种多发的慢性呼吸道传染病.该病的主要特征为慢性鼻炎、颜面部变形和鼻甲骨萎缩.哺乳仔猪感染本病后,除引起鼻甲骨甚至鼻腔变形、萎缩或消失外,还可以引起全身钙代谢障碍,致使仔猪发育迟缓、饲料利用率降低,有时伴发急、慢性支气管炎,导致仔猪死亡.T+Pm和Bb感染猪后损害呼吸道的正常结构和功能,使机体抵抗力降低,导致其他病原继发性感染,诸如支原体、嗜血杆菌、猪流感病毒、猪生殖.呼吸道综合征病毒等,引起猪呼吸道综合征,增加猪的死淘率川.     

The prevention of atrophic rhinitis of swine

In a pig breeding unit that for years had been infected with Atrophic Rhinitis, the weaned piglets were divided into four groups. Group 1 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. --The piglets received 0.2 ml each of Pargenta 50 (= 10 mg Gentamycin) i.m. on the third, fifth and seventh days after birth. --The piglets were fed a food containing 10 ppm Gentamycin-base during the 6 weeks following their weaning. Group 2 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. --The piglets received 0.2 ml each of Pargenta 50 (= 10 mg Gentamycin) i.m. on the third, fifth and seventh days after birth. Group 3 (10 weaned piglets) --Their mother was vaccinated with 2 ml Rhinipig i.m. 3 weeks prior to farrowing. Group 4 (10 weaned piglets, untreated, experimental control group) After 6 weeks of treatment, Group 1 showed significantly better food conversion and daily weight gain when compared to the other groups.
