The aetiological significance of Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida in atrophic rhinitis of swine.
Experimental infection with either pure culture of Bordetella bronchiseptica or B. bronchiseptica and a toxin-producing strain of Pasteurella multocida was studied in newborn piglets from 26 sows. Pigs inoculated with B. bronchiseptica alone got mild lesions, whereas pigs inoculated with both organisms showed clinical and pathological signs of atrophic rhinitis, corresponding to the progressive natural diseases. The effect of vaccinating sows against B bronchiseptica during pregnancy was studied.
