Abstract
* This paper was first presented at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine Conference for Swine Practitioners, November 8th-9th 2001 at Ames, Iowa and subsequently at the John Walton Pig Day, December 13th 2001, Leahurst, Liverpool.
???? In Europe, Post-weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) is associated with two disease entities, namely PWMS itself and Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS). Originally thought to be separate entities, in many cases they have occurred together on the same farm and could be part of the same over all disease syndrome. PDNS is described first and then PMWS, with special regard to the situation in Europe. The original history of PMWS in Canada is not touched on, nor is its detailed aetiology. The paper concentrates primarily on the clinical features of the disease.
