This week, we are sharing a recent publication from the Mycolab at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, led by Dr. Maria Pieters. The project measured natural antibodies against Mycoplasma hyosynoviae in almost 3,400 blood samples, across three different flows.

The Swine Disease Eradication Center is proud to present another episode of “Processing the Litter-ature”: a podcast in which peer-reviewed papers are docked, clipped and supplemented with a field perspective.
Drs. Alyssa Betlach and Matt Allerson discuss the paper “Natural transmission and detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in a naïve gilt population.”
Multiple vaccinations: what effect on M. hyopneumoniae infection?
Dr. Betlach and the team from the MycoLab recently published a study in the journal Vaccine, regarding the impact of multiple vaccines against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. They assessed bacterial load and protection against infection in gilts.
Highlights
- Vaccination against M. hyopneumoniae reduced bacterial load in infected gilts.
- Vaccination of both infected and contact gilts reduced M. hyopneumoniae transmission.
- Genetic diversity of M. hyopneumoniae was not influenced by vaccination.
