This experiment was done to determine pathological findings of swine dysentery naturally occurred in Korea. Clinical sign was characterized by mucohemorrhagic diarrhea. Characteristic mucofibrinous lesions composed of fibrin, mucus, and sloughed cell debri were mostly limited to the large intestine of affected pjgs. A myriad of coiled spirochetes were detected in the colonic crypts.

Swine dysentery caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, an anaerobic, beta-hemolytic spirochete, is a severe mucohemorrhahic diarrheal disease that primarily affects pigs during the growing and finishing period. The current standard laboratory procedure to culture and identify B hyodysenteriae takes 3 to 7 days. This report present a rapid PCR for detection B hyodysenteriae in a single reaction using DNA from swine intestinal samples. The PCR produced a specific 421bp PCR product with template DNA purified from B hyodysenteriae, and the accuracy for detection of B hyodysenteriae by PCR results compared with those of conventional method was 100% in intestinal specimens. Nonspecific bands were not detected with B innocens, a nonpathogenic common inhabitant spirochete, including other enteric bacterial organisms. This procedure could detect as little as 50 pg of template DNA for B hyodysenteriae.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae from 43 swine farms with diarrhea or a history of diarrhea in Gyeongbuk province by PCR. The overall herd prevalence of B hyodysenteriae was 37.2%(16/43), and the average prevalence of B hyodysenteriae among all sampled pigs was 10.8%(50/462). Positive herds for B hyodysenteriae were distributed throughout Gyeongbuk province from 14.3～50%. Herd size had a effect on the frequency of B hyodysenteriae. The frequency of B hyodysenteriae in herds with less than 1,000 pigs was 47.4%, that of herds between 1,001 and 2,000 pigs was 41.7%. Also, the frequency of B hyodysenteriae in herds with more than 2,000 pigs was 16.7%.

Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae is a causative agent of swine dysentery that is responsible for death and economic losses in the pig industry. It is imperative that clinical samples be delivered fresh for accurate diagnosis. The viability and DNA detection of B. hyodysenteriae using lab-made (phosphate buffered saline and modified tryptic soy broth) or commercial transport media (C, D, and E) were compared by culturing and real-time PCR at $4^{\circ}C$ or room temperature (RT), respectively. B. hyodysenteriae grown in D (Anaerobe Systems, USA) and E (Starplex Scientific, Canada) media was viable for 4 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and RT. However, B. hyodysenteriae in A, B, and C (culture swab; BD Biosciences, USA) media were not recovered after 2 days at RT. Ct values for real-time PCR at $4^{\circ}C$ and RT ranged from $27.2{\pm}2.1$ (C) to $29.6{\pm}0.5$ (B), and $28.0{\pm}0.9$ (E) to $30.2{\pm}1.5$ (B), respectively. Considering the field conditions, it is important that transport media is used for specimen isolation and PCR to obtain an accurate diagnosis of swine dysentery.

The extracts from 70 different plant natural products were used to investigate the antimicrobial activities against Brachyspira hyodrsenteriae, the causative agent of swine dysentery. Among them, the extracts from Terminalia chehula exhibited the highest antimicrobial activities against B. hyodysenteriae. It showed the antimicrobial activity against B. hyodysensteriae mostly in parts of its shell. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the water extracts of T chehula was 12.5 mg/ml. After organic solvent extractions, the ethylacetate extracts exhibited higher antimicrobial activities against B. hyodysenteriae, and their antimicroactivities were similar to that of the tannin. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the extracts from T chebula may be used as animal feed additives for their antimicrobial activities against B. hyodysenteriae.

국제양돈수의학회(International Pig Veterinary Society ; I.P.V.S) 제14차 총회 및 학술대회가 1996년 7월 7일부터 11일까지 이태리 중북부의 대학도시 볼로냐(Bologna, Italy)에서 개최되었다. I.P.V.S.는 1969년에 영국의 캠브리지 (Cambridge, United Kingdom)에서 창립된 이래 1996년 현재 53개 회원국 1,700 여명의 회원을 확보하고 있으며, 세계 각국의 양돈과 수의학에 관심을 가지고 있는 학자, 생산자 그리고 관련업계 인사들의 학술$\cdot$기술 정보교류와 협력을 목적으로 매 2년마다 세계 주요도시를 순회 하면서 개최되고 있다. 앞으로 2년후(1998년도)에는 I.P.V.S.의 탄생국인 영국의 버밍햄(Birmingham, United Kingdom)에서 제 15차 총회 및 학술대회를 개최할 예정이며 2000년대에는 시드니 올림픽과 때를 맞추어 호주의 멜보른(Melboume, Australia)에서 제16차 총회를 개최하기로 결정되어 있다. 금년(1996년도) I.P.V.S 총회에는 우리나라에서 30개 기관/업체로부터 50여명이 참여한 바 있으며 총 27편 (구두 9편, 포스터 18편)의 학술논문을 발표하는 등 눈부신 활약을 보인 바 있다. 금년도 I.P.V.S. 총회의 특징은 돼지의 전염성 질병중 근래에 우리나라에서도 문제시 되고 있는 '돼지 생식기 호흡기 중후군 (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome ; PRRS)'이 세계적인 관심의 대상이었으며, 이태리 양돈병리축산학회 (Societa Italiana di Patologia ed Allevamento dei Suini ; S.I.P.A.S) 주관으로 '돼지 적리 (Swine Dysentery)'에 관한 Satellite Symposium이 개최되었다는 점이다. WTO 이래 어려워지고만 있는 우리나라 축산업 분야중 그래도 비젼이 보이는 양돈산업과 관련하여, I.P.V.S.를 통하여 우리나라 수의업무의 세계화의 길을 찾아보고자, 1 국제양돈수의학회(I.P.V.S)의 역사 (양돈과 수의업무 전문가의 새로운 만남의 장), 2 I.P.V.S.에의 참여(제13차 방콕대회), 3 한국 수의사의 활약(제14차 볼로냐대회), 4 세계화의 길(제15차 버밍햄대회, 제16차 멜보른대회), 5 국내양돈의 문제와 우리가 해야할 일(수의업무 세계화의 길을 찾자)등의 순으로 적어보고자 한다.

악상남도(惡尙南道) 김해군(金海郡) S 양돈장(養豚場)에서 1975년 4월 하순부터 5월 하순 사이에 사육돈(飼育豚) 1,200두중 약 350두에서 출혈성하리(出血性下痢)를 주증(主症)으로 하는 전염성(傳染性)이 강한 소화기질환(消化器疾患)이 발생하였다. 환돈(患豚)은 7주령(週齡)에서부터 14주령(週齡)까지에서 가장 많이 발생하고 급성(急性) 또는 아급성(亞急性)으로 경과하였으며 다량의 황백색(黃白色), 수양하리(水樣下痢)를 발하다가 황갈색(黃褐色), 포말성하리(泡沫性下痢) 또는 암적갈색(暗赤褐色) 점액성하리(粘液性下痢)를 나타내었다. 육안적(肉眼的) 병변(病變)은 대장(大腸)에 한하였으며 카타아르성(性), 출혈성(出血性) 내지 괴사성장염(壞死性腸炎)을 시현(示顯)하였으며 괴사(壞死)는 광범(廣凡)하나 표재성(表在性)이고 어떤 예에서는 결장점막(結腸粘膜) 속에 대소(大小)의 미세결절(微細結節)이 밀발(密發)한 것이 특징이었다. 조직학적검사(組織學的檢査)에서는 대장점막(大腸粘膜)에 현저한 배세포증식(杯細胞增殖), 울혈(鬱血) 및 원형세포침윤(圓形細胞浸潤)과 더불어 표재성괴사(表在性壞死)가 관찰되었고 상기(上記) 결절(結節)은 장선(腸腺) 속에 점액(粘液), 섬유소(纖維素) 및 붕괴세포(崩壞細胞)가 축적되어 선와(腺窩)가 확장되고 피복상피(被覆上皮)의 이형성(異形成)(dysplasia)을 일으키고 있음이 판명되었다. 병변부(病變部)의 세균염색(細菌染色)에 의하여 대형(大型) Spirocheta와 Vibrio 고균(孤菌)이 무수(無數)히 발견되었고 Spirocheta가 병변형성(病變形成)에 더 밀접하게 관련되어 있음이 밝혀졌다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the tendency of incident diseases in pre- and post- weaning piglets which ages were 1 to 7 weeks old by laboratory diagnosis and in order to minimize death in preweaning piglets and of stunted growth in postweaning piglets. The result of this experiment used as the basic data for the preventive programs in pre- and post- weaning piglets and were as follows: 23 different diseases diagnosed in 331 cases were studied in relation to age, season, and etiology. The most prevelent diseases of pre- and post- weaning piglet were Colibacillosis(79 case, 23.9%) and the major diseases were Salmonellosis(44 cases, 13.3%), Anemia(37 cases, 11.2%). Unknown viral disease(20 case, 6.1%), Rota viral infection(19 case, 5.8%), Porcine reproductive & respiratory syndrome(PRRS; 15 case 4.5%), Transmissible gastroenteritis(TGE; 12 case, 3.6%). The gastrointestinal disease, such as Colibacillosis, Salmonellosis, Swine dysentery, Clostridial infection, Rotaviral infection, TGE, Porcine epidemic diarrhea(PED) and Ballantidiosis occured pro- dominently in the period of pre- and post- weaning, which were 178 cases(53.8%) and not related to occurrence according to age and season. The respiratory diseases were Atrophic rhinitis(AR), Swine enzootic pneumonia, Pneumonic pasteurellosis, Pleuropneumonia, Branchopneumonia, PRRS and which were 48 cases(14.5%) and higher prevalent in spring and summer. The viral diseases was 73 cases(22.1%) that occurred in the period of 5 weeks piglet and prevalent mainly in spring. The bacterial diseases were 188 cases(56.8%) that were not related to occurrence according to age and season. Salmonellosis was prevalent in 3 to 5 weeks piglet and mainly occurred in summer. Viral septicemia and rotaviral infection occurred after 5 weeks piglets intensively and 3 to 5 weeks, respectively. And the both occurred without relation with season. PRRS occurred after 4 weeks piglet and prevalent in summer. TGE occurred 1 to 7 days old piglets and prevalent in spring and winter. Hematologic values of anemia was decrease in number of Red Blood Cell, concentration of Hemoglobin and Hematocrit. Amikacin, cephalothin, colistin, norfloxacin were effective to E coli, and amikacin, cephalothin, nortloxacin, neomycin were effective to Salmonellra spp. but clindamycin, erythromycin, penicillin, sulfonamides were resistant to E coli and Salmonella spp.
