In general

  • Main clinical expression is as secondary invaders of previously damaged lung tissue due to viral or parasitic involvement or environmental stress
  • Some are initial pathogens in their own right while others can damage the tract allowing invasion by more pathogenic types

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

Pasteurellosis in pigs

Contagious porcine pleuropneumonia

  • Caused by Haemophilus (Actinobacillus) pleuropneumonia
  • Seen mainly between 6wks-6mths of age but will affect any age
  • Highly pathogenic strains are capable of initiating disease on their own with high mortality in young pigs
  • A fibrinonecrotic bronchopneumonia with pleurisy
  • Foci of haemorrhagic consolidation or necrosis, mainly around major bronchi, tend to sequestrate
  • Tending to spread throughout all lung lobes: therefore a cranioventral distribution may not be particularly evident

Glasser's disease

Streptococcal pneumonia

Tuberculosis in pigs

  • Pigs are susceptible to the Mycobacterium spp. causing tuberculosis in cattle
  • Rarely extends to lungs after haematogenous spread from ingested bacteria causing tubercles with various degrees of calcification, encapsulation and caseation

In Rabbits

Snuffles

CAR bacillus
