Bordetella bronchiseptica isolations from the nasal cavity of pigs in relation to atrophic rhinitis.
The occurrence of Bordetella bronchiseptica and atrophic rhinitis was studied during a one-year period in four Danish sow herds. In three of the heards, the epidemiological studies revealed a relation between the occurrence of B. bronchiseptica in 3--10-week-old pigs and the presence and severity of atrophic rhinitis at slaughter. In the fourth herd no such relation was found.
