Potential risk factors of swine erysipelas outbreak in Northeast Mainland China

Abstract: Swine erysipelas is a highly febrile and acute infectious disease (Wang et al., 2010). The causative agent, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (E. rhusiopathiae), is a gram-positive, non-sporeforming, slender, and straight or slightly rod-shaped facultative anaerobic bacterium (Koch, 1880). It primarily causes erysipelas in swine but is also implicated in a wide spectrum of diseases

“…E. rhusiopathiae was isolated from pigs from almost all continents except Antarctica [186][187][188][189]. Therefore, swine erysipelas constitute a severe global problem [190]. Notably, despite improvements in management implemented over the years in the porcine industry, a recent increase in noted cases has been observed in various countries [191][192][193].…”

“…The disease is observed in growing pigs older than 3 months and adults [186]. Sick and infected pigs are the primary source of infection [190]. Asymptomatic pigs can carry this bacterium in their tonsils; depending on the research, E. rhusiopathiae has been found in 10.5% up to 98% of apparently healthy pigs [195,196].…”
