Efficacy against heterologous serotypes of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
The distribution of various serotypes of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae differs substantially among countries. The presence of various serotypes in a farm as well as in a given area doesn't stay stable, but evolves over time. Serotype 8 is the most prevalent in the UK and was also isolated in other countries as highly virulent. In an experimental challenge trial, Coglapix® documented high efficacy against the serotype 8 of A. pleuropneumoniae. There was the lowest rate of clinical symptoms and no mortality in pigs vaccinated with Coglapix®.
