|q7=What toxins do ''A.suis'' encode for?
|q7=What toxins do ''A.suis'' encode for?
|a7= Similar toxins to apxI and apxII of A. pleuropneumoniae, but they are less virulent. Once an animal is infected with A.suis it can provide partial cross protection against ''A. pleuropneumoniae''.

A.suis can also affect domestic species including cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, zebu, dogs, cats and tentive links to equine disease have been recorded (although this is thought to be be an A.suis-like microorganism rather than A.suis itself).
A.suis can also affect domestic species including cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, zebu, dogs, cats and tenuous links to equine disease have been recorded (''A.suis''-like microorganism rather than ''A.suis'' itself).
