Discovery of the rich diversity of Mesomycoplasma hyopneumoniae through high-throughput sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Pneumonia caused by Mesomycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp) is a respiratory disease with high morbidity and low mortality that typically presents in growing pigs. Although often subclinical, the disease can significantly affect the pig farming industry economically due to decreased growth rates and inefficient feed conversion. Effective control of Mhp depends on the detection of dominant strains prevalent in infected...
