Abstract
in English, French

Several pathologies which were once mortal within pig farms have disappeared from our territory, numerous polysystemic diseases remain. If antibiotherapy is sometimes effective, vaccination can prevent a certain number of pathologies while there is no preventive of curative treatment for others. Moreover, all the pig's organs are susceptible to being targeted by pathogenic agents. Here again, vaccines and antibiotic treatments are available.

Plusieurs pathologies autrefois mortelles au sein des élevages porcins ont disparu de notre territoire, mais de nombreuses maladies polysystémiques subsistent. Si l’antibiothérapie s’avère parfois efficace, la vaccination permet de prévenir un certain nombre de pathologies alors qu’il n’existe aucun traitement préventif ni curatif pour d’autres. Par ailleurs, tous les organes du porc sont susceptibles d’être la cible d’agents pathogènes. Là encore, des vaccins et des traitements antibiotiques sont disponibles.

Keywords: farm; pig; polysystemic disease; system-specific disease; veterinary drug.
