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.
Dr. Albert Canturri and Mark Schwartz discuss “Characterizing the detection of inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae DNA in the respiratory tract of pigs”.
By Maria Pieters and Haley Schwecke
The mention of Mycoplasma in pigs is generally related to respiratory disease, as problems such as enzootic pneumonia or the Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex can result after infection with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, which is a well-known bacterium that can be detected in swine worldwide. Only less frequently, one thinks about other Mycoplasma species that can affect swine health.
Podcasts are a perfect way to get caught up with new swine information! We are presenting you the latest episode from “At The Meeting.”
In this episode of “At the Meeting, our special guests, Dr. Eduardo Fano, Dr. Amanda Sponheim, and Dr. Maria Pieters, explore the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Eradication Roadmap, a critical initiative for eliminating M. hyopneumoniae in swine. They discuss this roadmap’s collaborative efforts, research, and practical applications, offering valuable insights for producers and veterinarians. Tune in to learn more about the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Eradication Roadmap.

Today, we are sharing an article on the new Mycoplasma spp. nomenclature written by Drs. Maria Pieters and Mitchell Balish.
Mycoplasma? Mesomycoplasma? Metamycoplasma?
Which name is the right one? Which one should be used?
