Abstract

Objective: To evaluate associations between gross and histopathological lesions and the
presence of Clostridium perfringens type A (CpA) and beta-2 toxin in piglets from 4 herds
with outbreaks of diarrhoea.

Methods: Pathological examinations on 51 diarrhoeic piglets aged 3-7 days were carried out.
CpA was cultured and typed by PCR. A Clostridium perfringens spp targeted probe was used for
flourescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and detection of beta-2 toxin in intestinal contents was
performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Results: Piglets without intestinal lesions had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher prevalence of CpA
and beta-2 toxin (Table 1).
