Esential Guides on Swine Health and Production. Lawsonia intracellularis

Stručný popis

This guide on Lawsonia intracellularis infections in swine describes the epidemiology of the disease and how to achieve good control mechanisms and minimise risks in order to optimise performance and prevent associated losses. Fully illustrated throughout with colour images, it makes a useful resource for veterinary and animal science students as well as farm managers and veterinary practitioners.

Autor: teven McOrist graduated in veterinary medicine from the University of Melbourne (Australia) in 1978. He worked for five years as a veterinary diagnostician at a laboratory for farm animals in Australia. During this time, he completed a master’s degree programme in enteric diseases. He obtained a Commonwealth University Scholarship to transfer to Edinburgh University in Scotland, where he completed a PhD and continued as the senior researcher and team leader in the porcine proliferative enteropathy research programme. This team was the first to successfully culture the aetiological agent of proliferative enteropathy, Lawsonia intracellularis, and the first to fulfil Koch’s postulates for this disease in pigs. This team then led the way to develop useful therapies and a modern vaccine.
