Abstract

Experimental infections with Bordetella bronchiseptica and/or toxigenic type D Pasteurella multocida were studied in 2- and 4-month-old primary specific-pathogen-free pigs. None of the 2-month-old pigs inoculated with B. bronchiseptica or P. multocida alone developed turbinate atrophy. All the pigs inoculated with B. bronchiseptica (10(7) CFU/head) and P. multocida (10(9) CFU/head for 5 consecutive days) together, however, developed clinical and post-mortem signs of atrophic rhinitis (AR) similar to the naturally occurring disease. Slight to severe turbinate atrophy was observed in the 4-month-old pigs inoculated with B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida (at the same concentration as above) at necropsy.
