Abstract :

Both endemic and emerging bacterial diseases are considered to be one of the important impediments for profitable pig production in India. Apart from viral diseases, endemic bacterial diseases are responsible for huge economic losses to the pig producers because of the mortality as well as cost of medication associated with such diseases in pigs. Although several important bacterial diseases are reported from almost all Asian counties such reports are very limited from India. This paper reports the present status of bacterial diseases of pigs in India. Many bacterial diseases of pigs are found to be emerging in Asian countries including India and most of them are found to have public health significance. Emphasis has been given on epidemiology, molecular diagnosis and management of such diseases in pigs. Some of the important bacterial diseases recorded in pigs in India include colibacillosis, salomonellosis, campylobacteriosis, clostridial infections, swine erysipelas, edema disease, pasteurellosis, listeriosis, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, Bordetella bronchiseptica infection, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infection methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, brucellosis, Streptococcus suis infection etc. Other bacterial diseases prevalent in India are also discussed.
