| dc.description.abstract | Porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) is a multifactorial disease that significantly
impacts global swine production, causing substantial economic losses. It involves a variety
of infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, along with non-infectious
factors such as environmental stressors, genetics, and herd management practices. This
thesis provides an in-depth exploration of the primary pathogens responsible for PRDC,
focusing on viral agents such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
(PRRSV), porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), and influenza-A virus (IAV), as well as bacterial
agents including Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae,
Glaesserella parasuis, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, and Streptococcus
suis. | en_US |
