Interaction of M. hyo with other pathogens
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the primary agent of enzootic pneumonia (EP), is
one of the most important pathogens involved in respiratory disease in pigs.
Elimination of the organism from infected herds is difficult to achieve and to
maintain, and therefore, most efforts are directed towards control of the
disease. The present article discusses some aspects of the epidemiology and the
control of M. hyopneumoniae with emphasis on the interactions with other
pathogens.
