Article Synopsis
- In 2019, Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus was identified as a serious threat to swine, leading to sudden deaths and higher abortion rates.
- A study involved inoculating six-week-old pigs with this pathogen and monitoring their health, which showed that all inoculated pigs developed fever and severe symptoms within days, while the control group remained healthy.
- Results indicated that clinically healthy pigs could still spread the pathogen through nasal secretions and feces, highlighting the need for direct contact for transmission.
