On this podcast about the swine industry, we will talk about various topics related to Edema Deseases, Swine Erysipelas, Porcine Parvovirus and Leptospira spp with the colaboration of relevant swine experts.
Leptospira spp. and its implication in reproductive disorders. What to consider when choosing a reproductive vaccine
On this podcast Ed Metzger, a Canadian veterinarian will share with us the epidemiological situation in Canada for Leptospira spp., his experience with this pathogen and the reproductive vaccination trends. Apart from that, he will give his opinion about the main reproductive indicators for farm efficiency.

Leptospira spp., what you need to know about its diagnosis and interpretation
On this episode, Gema Chacón sheds some light on the diagnosis and interpretation of Leptospira spp. The diagnosis of this pathogen has commonly been done by the MAT, an indirect technique that only shows contact with the bacterium. In recent years, new direct diagnostic tools such as the qPCR have become available even the sequencing of the implied serovar in case of positive cases. Gemma speaks about when to use each method, consider the complicated epidemiology of this bacterium, and how to interpretate the different results obtained.

Porcine Parvovirus, the experience and advice from a vet practitioner
On this episode, Sjouke Van Poucke reminds us of the importance of this old and, sometimes forgotten pathogen, Porcine Parvovirus. She reviews when it should be included in our differential diagnosis, which reproductive indicators can be altered by a Parvo-related problem, how to evaluate the herd susceptibility and other aspects such as the diagnosis.

EDEMA DISEASE: Effects under field conditions (clinical & subclinical) EDEMA DISEASE: Effects under field conditions (clinical & subclinical)
Edema disease could be present on the farm as a clinical or subclinical form. Clinical presentation is commonly seen as a sudden outbreak of mortality amongst piglets just after weaning. In the case of the subclinical form, no clinical signs are present, whilst growth performance is compromised, so that a trial and error approach should be used to identify those losses.

EDEMA DISEASE: Keys for a successful diagnosis
One of the keys to prevention of a disease is to have a good diagnostic approach. There are different tools to identify the presence of Edema Disease under field conditions. The use of oral fluids and FTA cards is one of the latest diagnostic tools available to swine vets.

EDEMA DISEASE: Pathology & Virulence Factors
Our objective is put the focus on Edema disease, that, as you know, is a highly contagious enterotoxaemia disease causing great economic losses due to increasing mortality and productive alterations on swine farms.
