[Some aspects of the study of atrophic rhinitis in pigs (author's transl)]. 1980

M F de Jong

Atrophic rhinitis is the most dreaded nasal inflammatory lesion described in pigs. Experimental studies showed that this form of rhinitis may be induced by inoculation of the bacterial species Bordetella bronchiseptica (BB) and/or Pasteurella multocida (PM). It is apparent from studies on AR in the Central Veterinary Institute during the past few years, that these species of bacterium may be classified into AR-pathogenic and AR-non-pathogenic micro-organisms. The significance of these findings in the prevention and control the disease is discussed. Investigations on the differences in pathogenicity between the strains of BB and PM isolate showed that 152 out of 157 BB isolates were AR-pathogenic (97%). Of 776 PM isolates studied, 396 were found to be AR-pathogenic. Thirty-six isolates were classified as doubtful.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010325	Pasteurella	The oldest recognized genus of the family PASTEURELLACEAE. It consists of several species. Its organisms occur most frequently as coccobacillus or rod-shaped and are gram-negative, nonmotile, facultative anaerobes. Species of this genus are found in both animals and humans.
D001884	Bordetella	A genus of gram-negative aerobic bacteria whose cells are minute coccobacilli. It consists of both parasitic and pathogenic species.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012222	Rhinitis, Atrophic	A chronic inflammation in which the NASAL MUCOSA gradually changes from a functional to a non-functional lining without mucociliary clearance. It is often accompanied by degradation of the bony TURBINATES, and the foul-smelling mucus which forms a greenish crust (ozena).

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
