Common clinical signs

Edema disease

Edema disease

Subcutaneous and subserosal edema (eyelids), ataxia, and death

Postweaning diarrhea

Severe diarrhea, dehydration, and often death

Swine dysentery

Mucohemorrhagic diarrhea, dehydration might lead to death, recovery in 3-4 weeks if not treated

Porcine proliferative enteritis

Porcine intestinal adenomatosis, porcine hemorrhagic enteritis, necrotic enteritis, and subclinical ileitis = reduction in growth rate and diarrhea

Transmissible gastroenteritis

Acute watery & smelly diarrhea, yellow & foamy vomiting, dehydration and high mortality

Porcine epidemic diarrhea

Watery diarrhea can be only symptom

Hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus disease

Vomiting, wasting, cyanosis, coma, death, encephalitic form: muscle tremors & dog-sitting position

Porcine respiratory coronavirosis

Coughing, sneezing and mild respiratory infection, adults mostly subclinical with no clinical signs

Mycoplasmal pneumonia/enzootic pneumonia

Acute: respiratory distress and high mortality

Chronic: dry cough (7-8 coughs in one episode) and uneven growth rate

Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia

Peracute: fever & death in few hours

Acute: severe respiratory distress, cyanosis & blood-stained frothy discharge, death

Chronic: respiratory distress less severe & persistent cough, lung lesions in middle of lungs

Nonprogressive atrophic rhinitis

Transient turbinate atrophy

Progressive atrophic rhinitis

Shortening/distortion of snout, sneezing, nasal discharge and epistaxis

Pneumonic pasteurellosis

Acute bronchopneumonia, respiratory distress, cyanosis and death in 4-7 days if not treated

Swine influenza

Fever, muscle stiffness and thumps, recovery in 4-6 days

Streptococcus suis infection

Septicemia, meningitis, joint infections, bronchopneumonia and possibly death

Glasser’s disease

Respiratory signs, fever, polyserositis, arthritis, nervous symptoms and sudden death

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome

Reproductive disorders: early farrowing, abortions, stillborn and mummified fetuses, high mortality of neonates, cyanosis, also boars affected + respiratory signs

Brucellosis

Abortions, weak/stillborn piglets, swollen joints and tendon sheaths, affect also boars

Porcine parvovirus infection

Reproductive failure: increased return to estrus, increased number of insemination, decrease in number of piglets, stillbirths and mummified fetuses, can also affect boars

Porcine circoviral disease

Post-weaning multisystemic wasting disease: laboured breathing, wasting, diarrhea, jaundice and high mortality

Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome

Swine erysipelas

Diamond-shaped skin lesions, sudden death and arthritis

Vesicular exanthema

Fever and vesicles on snout, lips, nostrils, tongue, feet and mammary glands, recovery in 1-2 weeks

Swine vesicular disease

Fever and vesicular lesions on snout, feet and teats, remission in 2-3 weeks, no permanent damage
