[The reproduction of eperythrozoonosis of swine by animal experiments after splenectomy].
An account is given in this paper of equipment, techniques, clinical tests, and investigations for laboratory diagnosis required for an animal experiment on splenectomised store pigs suspicious of eperythrozoonosis (EEZ). The clinical, bacterioscopic, haematological, and biochemical data recorded from the experiment on splenectomised store pigs with suspicion of EEZ were helpful in reproducing both symptoms indicative of EEZ and relevant parameters of laboratory diagnosis. The diagnosis of EEZ, made in the first place on the basis of clinical, bacterioscopic, and haematological findings, was thus confirmed. Conclusions of general validity for users of animal experiments for EEZ diagnosis were also drawn and will prove helpful in establishing safe diagnosis in dubious cases. The animal experiment proved useful in following up the interactions between all parameters checked, which will contribute, no doubt, to better understanding of the pathophysiological processes associated with this disease.
