Abstract:Porcine proliferative enteritis is an important enteric disease that has been reported in many countries around the world. In this study, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect Lawsonia intracellularis in fecal samples from 1,215 pigs with clinical signs of diarrhea, ages from 25 days to 12 months.
