The primary objective of this three years study was to determine the prevalence of
porcine pathogens of the lungs of swine in swine farms in southern China. Additional
objectives were to determine if sampling the carcasses of normal or abnormal hogs
provided different microbiological profiles and if the lungs
provides a feasible
sampling frame and environment for detecting and monitoring important pathogens in
lungs that have health implications for both swine and humans. A total of 5420
samples were collected from 200 swine farms. The bacterium that was most
commonly isolated was Streptococcus suis, with 10.24% of the samples being
positive, 114 lungs(2.1%) were positive for pseudorabies virus(PRV) and 263(4.85%)
were positive for Classical swine fever virus(CSFV)；much lower than positive for
PRRSV(15.1%,p=0.023) and PCV2(13.8%,p=0.038). lungs that were positive for
PRRSV and/or PCV-2 have significantly increased odds of being positive for any of
the S.suis(9.79% vs 0.44%,p=0.003).The frequency of individual pathogens
was
significantly (p=0.002) associated with the carcasses of normal(Healthy slaughtered
pigs,80.1%) and abnormal(sicked and die pigs,19.9%) pigsIt may be prudent to
closely monitor such abnormal pigs carcasses (sicked and die pigs) as potential
sentinels for the microbiological populations
in developing countries with extensive
swine-raising industries. Further virological and serological studies in swine farm are
urgently required in China to monitor swine infections.
