Fatal bronchopneumonia in a Metastrongylus elongatus and Porcine circovirus type 2 co-infected pig.

摘要: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection is distributed worldwide and PCV2-associated disease (PCVAD) considered among the most economically relevant ones to global swine industry. PCV2 known play a causal role in porcine respiratory complex, usually close association with large plethora of other biologic agents. We describe herein case fatal parasitic bronchopneumonia by Metastrongylus elongatus PCV2-infected pig. Metastrongylosis may still represent major concern for outdoor herds. Our recent experience suggests that concurrent PCVAD condition trigger metastrongylosis, which subsequently result, at its turn, severe, sometimes fatal, pulmonary disease.
