Detection of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in naturally infected pigs in Kamuli District, Uganda

Survivors often suffer from chronic lameness, arthritis and endocarditis leading to poor body growth. The ca...

| description | Swine erysipelas is an economically significant disease affecting all stages of pork production. The biggest losses may occur in growers-finishers because of sudden death or acute septicemia. Survivors often suffer from chronic lameness, arthritis and endocarditis leading to poor body growth. The causative agent is the ubiquitous bacterium Erysipelothrix (E.) rhusiopathiae, which is also able to enter the skin of people handling infected animals and meat and cause infection. In order to show the presence of E. rhusiopathiae in pigs, serum samples from 426 randomly selected pigs were collected in four subcounties (Bugulumbya, Butansi, Kitayunwa and Namwendwa) in Kamuli District in Uganda, as part of a multipathogen survey conducted by the International Livestock Research Institute in 2013. Subsequently, 100 samples of fresh pork were collected from all 67-pork slaughterhouses operating in the same subcounties for isolation and bacterial culture. Overall, 308/460 (67%) of the pig sera carried antibodies against E. rhusiopathiae and 45/100 (45%) of the fresh pork samples were contaminated with E. rhusiopathiae. This is the first ever report of E. rhusiopathiae in pigs and pork in Uganda. |

Les pertes les plus importantes peuvent survenir chez les producteurs de porc d’engraissement, suite à une mort subite ou à une septicémie aiguë. Les porcs survivants souffrent souvent de boiteries chroniques, d’arthrite et d’endocardite, entraînant une croissance corporelle médiocre. L’agent causal est la bactérie ubiquitaire Erysipelothrix (E.) rhusiopathiae. Elle est également capable d’entrer dans la peau des personnes qui manipulent des animaux et de la viande infectés, et ainsi causer une infection. Afin de montrer la présence de l’agent responsable chez les porcins, des échantillons de sérum provenant de 426 porcs sélectionnés au hasard ont été recueillis auprès d’élevages dans quatre sous-comtés (Bugulumbya, Butansi, Kitayunwa et Namwendwa) dans le district de Kamuli en Ouganda, dans le cadre d’une large étude multipathogène menée par l’International Livestock Research Institute en 2013. Par la suite, 100 échantillons de viande de porc fraîche ont été prélevés auprès de 67 boucheries opérant dans les mêmes sous-comtés pour isolement et culture bactérienne. Dans l’ensemble, des anticorps contre E. rhusiopathiae ont été détectés dans 308 sur 460 (67 %) sérums, et 45 sur 100 (45 %) échantillons de viande de porc fraîche étaient contaminés par E. rhusiopathiae. C’est la première étude rapportant l’occurrence d’E. rhusiopathiae chez les porcs et dans la viande de porc en Ouganda. 2018-09-09 2018-09-21T07:51:03Z 2018-09-21T07:51:03Z Journal Article https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97463 en Open Access application/pdf Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement Musewa, A., Roesel, K., Grace, D., Dione, M. and Erume, J. 2018.
