The Impact Of Subclinical Ileitis On Farm Economics
By Steven McOrist BVSc PhD, University of Nottingham, as presented at the Second IPVS Ileitis Symposium, Kopenhagen. July 17, 2006. While proliferative enteropathy or Ileitis had been recognised as a notable enteric disease in pigs for over 70 years, its causative agent, Lawsonia intracellularis, has only been accepted and studied alone for less than 12 years (see McOrist et al. 1995).
