POSTWEANING MULTISYSTEMIC WASTING SYNDROME - CLINICAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE "MILLENNIUM BUG"
R.A. Potter

Abstract
Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome of pigs (PMWS) had not been recognised in Great Britain until the autumn of 1999. Since then the disease has been reported widely from Southern England and East Anglia. This paper presents the clinical picture for a number of affected herds. Conventional approaches to treatment and control seem to produce very poor results. Possible reasons for this are discussed, along with a proposed mechanism for the disease.
