To investigate the immunological effect of feeding pigs different dietary lipids, 3-wk-old, weaned pigs were fed for 40 d on one of five diets, which differed only in the type of oil present (the oil contributed 5% by weight of the diet and the total fat content of the diets was 8% by weight). The oils used were soybean (control diet), high-oleic sunflower oil (HOSO), sunflower oil (SO), canola oil (CO), and fish oil (FO; rich in long-chain [n-3] polyunsaturared fatty acids). There were no significant differences in initial or final animal weights, weight gains, or health scores among the groups. There were no significant differences in the concentration of anti-Escherichia coli vaccine antibodies in the gut lumens of pigs fed the different diets. The fatty acid composition of the diet markedly affected the fatty acid composition of the plasma and of mononuclear cells (a mixture of lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages) prepared from the blood, lymph nodes, or thymus. The FO feeding resulted in a significant increase in the number of circulating granulocytes. The FO feeding significantly decreased the proportion of phagocytes engaged in uptake of E. coli and decreased the activity of those phagocytes that were active. The proliferation of lymphocytes in cultures of whole blood from pigs fed the HOSO, SO, or FO diets was less than in those from pigs fed the CO diet. Proliferation of lymph node lymphocytes from SO- or FO-fed pigs was less than that from control, CO-, or HOSO-fed pigs. The natural killer cell activity of blood lymphocytes from pigs fed the FO diet was significantly reduced compared with those from pigs fed the CO diet. The concentration of PGE2 in the medium of cultured blood, lymph node, or thymic mononuclear cells was lower if the cells came from pigs fed the FO diet. Thus, the type of oil included in the diet of growing pigs affects the numbers and functional activities of immune cells in different body compartments.  相似文献

Melioidosis in intensive piggeries in south eastern Queensland   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
The epidemiology of melioidosis was investigated in 8 intensive piggery units which used water from the same river in south eastern Queensland. In 3 consecutive years cases of disease followed heavy rainfall and flooding. Although Pseudomonas pseudomallei was not isolated from water or soil samples the water supply was suspected as the source of infection. Affected pigs were detected at slaughter by the presence of abscesses most commonly in the bronchial lymph nodes (40%) and spleen (34%). One hundred and fifty nine cases were observed at slaughter from a total of 17,397 animals at risk. Infection by inhalation of water aerosols derived from nipple drinkers, hose sprays and a water misting cooler was considered to be responsible for the bronchial lymph node lesions. These outbreaks occurred outside the area in which melioidosis is generally regarded as being endemic.  相似文献

The prevalence of granulomatous lesions in lymph nodes of pigs was studied. From January till August 2004 in two slaughterhouses in The Netherlands 2,116,536 pigs were examined for the presence of granulomatous lesions in the sub-maxillary lymph nodes. In 15,900 (0.75%) of these pigs, lesions could be detected. Nine farms with the highest incidence of lesions were selected for a more detailed pathological and bacteriological examination. On these farms, the prevalence of lesions in sub-maxillary lymph nodes ranged from 2.3 to 5.7% with a mean of 3.0%. From 1276 pigs that were sampled, 98 (7.7%) displayed granulomatous lesions in the sub-maxillary lymph nodes and one (0.1%) pig showed lesions in its mesenteric lymph node. Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium (MAA) could not be isolated from the lymph nodes of the 99 pigs with lesions and from a selection of lymph nodes (n = 61) of pigs without lesions. Rhodococcus equi was isolated from 44 out of 98 (44.9%) of the sub-maxillary lymph nodes with granulomatous lesions and from two mesenteric lymph nodes without lesions. A comparison of former studies and the current results indicate that the prevalence of MAA infections in slaughter pigs has strongly decreased over the last decade, whereas R. equi is highly prevalent. The high incidence of granulomatous lesions associated with the bacteriological presence of R. equi could be considered as a serious cause of misdiagnosis of MAA infections in cases where meat inspection is carried out by inspection for granulomatous changes of lymph nodes only.  相似文献

Localization patterns of lymphocytes taken from mammary, ileal mesenteric, or prefemoral lymph nodes of pubescent or lactating swine were examined. Lymphocyte suspensions were prepared from surgically excised lymph nodes, labeled with 51chromium, and infused back into the donors. Eighteen hours later, pigs were killed, and lymph nodes from six different regions examined for radiolabel. The greatest concentrations of labeled cells were consistently recovered from mesenteric and bronchial lymph nodes, with lesser concentrations recovered from mammary and peripheral nodes. This occurred regardless of origin of the infused cells, and in both pubescent and lactating pigs. Although localization patterns were similar, the total recovery of infused mammary node cells in the six nodes examined was consistently higher in lactating than in pubescent pigs. In contrast, recovery of infused mesenteric node cells was lower in lactating than in pubescent pigs.  相似文献

Lymphadenopathy is a commonly found condition in guinea pigs that suffer diseases caused by bacterial organisms as Streptococcus zooepidemicus, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Bordetella, and Salmonellae (S. linate) which access cervical lymph nodes via an abraded oral mucosa. In this study, we investigate all possible alterations present in cytological smears obtained from cervical lymph nodes of guinea pigs with lymphadenopathy. Thirty-one clinical cases of guinea pigs with different grades of lymphadenomegaly and 10 clinically healthy guinea pigs were considered. The fine-needle nonaspiration cytology (FNNAC) provided an adequate quantity and quality of samples for cytological analysis. Air-dried FNNAC smears yielded excellent results with Wright stain. From 31 evaluated clinical cases, 64.5% were compatible with pseudoeosinophilic lymphadenitis, 22.6% compatible with reactive lymphatic node, 6.45% compatible with lymphoma, and 6.45% with Hodgkin's-like lymphoma. The findings revealed the usefulness of the FNNAC technique and Romanowsky stains as fast and easy methods for lymph node sampling and analysis, and also, the importance of recognizing various causes of lymphadenopathies associated with morbidity and mortality in guinea pigs which would influence treatment protocols and prognosis for patients.  相似文献

One jejunal and one caecal lymph node were sampled from each of 50 cows, 40 yearling cattle, 25 sheep, 20 lambs and 45 pigs after slaughter. Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens and Staphylococcus aureus , all organisms which cause food poisoning in man, were sought by direct plating methods. The samples were also enriched and cultured for Salmonella. Organisms were cultured from 208 (58%) of the 360 lymph nodes; aerobic plate counts yielded up to 25,000 organisms per gram of tissue, although from most infected samples less than 1000 organisms per gram were cultured. Salmonella was isolated directly from 5% of samples, with counts up to 1,500 per gram. After enrichment Salmonella was isolated from nodes taken from 15 cows, 2 yearling cattle, one sheep and 8 pigs. Cl. perfringens was isolated from the caecal nodes of 2 yearling cattle and 2 pigs; S. aureus was not isolated from any sample. It was concluded that mesenteric lymph nodes may be a significant reservoir of Salmonella for transfer to meat and meat products.  相似文献

Using immunohistological techniques, we studied the development over time of B- and T-cell compartments in the lymphoid organs of specific-pathogen-free pigs. Tissue samples were collected at various time-points, starting 2 days before the pigs were born until the pigs were 10 months old. The samples were collected from the spleen, thymus, peripheral lymph node, mesenteric lymph node, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, jejunal Peyer's patch and ileal Peyer's patch. Monoclonal antibodies specific to B- and T-cells were used to identify where the following cells were localized: IgM-B cells (cells positive to surface immunoglobulin), IgM-, IgG- and IgA-containing cells (cells positive to cytoplasmic immunoglobulin), and CD2-, CD4- and CD8-positive cells. The development of the B- and T-cell subpopulations in each organ was analysed. Two days before birth, most organs contained quantities of IgM-B cells. The spleen, lymph nodes, Peyer's patches and, notably, the thymus, contained some immunoglobulin-containing cells (Ig-CC); this finding indicates that pigs have cells that secrete immunoglobulins before birth. Just after birth, the incidence of Ig-CC increased in most organs; first IgM-CC increased, then either IgG- or IgA-CC increased, depending on the organ. T-cell development was observed clearly in spleen and in the lamina propria of the small intestine, in contrast to other organs, in which the T-cell compartments containing various T-cell subpopulations were well developed before birth. Comparison of the incidence of CD4+ and CD8+ cells showed that the CD4:CD8 ratio of these cells in the spleen, lymph nodes, Peyer's patches and small intestine is low, especially in adult pigs, compared with the CD4:CD8 ratio in other species. Weaning had little influence on the incidence of B- and T-cells in lymphoid organs. This study is the first immunohistological survey to describe the development of the major B- and T-cell subpopulations in various lymphoid organs of pigs, and it should be useful for future immunopathological and comparative immunological studies in pigs.  相似文献

Cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs (n = 23) were inoculated intranasally and subcutaneously with a low cell culture passage of type 2 porcine circovirus. In 11 pigs, a persistent fever that lasted 7-17 days began 12-15 days after inoculation with virus. Additional signs of disease in those 11 pigs included depression (11 of 11 pigs), palpable enlargement of inguinal, prefemoral, and popliteal lymph nodes (11 of 11), icterus (6 of 11), and hyperpnea (2 of 11). The remaining 12 pigs had fever that occurred intermittently for 2-4 days between days 12 and 20 postinoculation. Overt signs of disease in those pigs were limited to palpable enlargement of inguinal and popliteal lymph nodes (9 of 12 pigs). When compared with control pigs of similar age, the average daily rate of weight gain for all pigs inoculated with virus was less over a 2-week period that began 2 weeks post inoculation. At postmortem examination, lymph node enlargement was seen in 14 of 14 pigs euthanized between days 20 and 28 postinoculation. Lymph node enlargement was especially prominent in pigs that developed a persistent fever. Microscopic lesions noted in pigs that developed a persistent fever included cellular depletion in lymphoid tissues; hepatic cell necrosis; and lymphogranulomatous inflammation of lymph nodes, Peyer's patches of the intestine, liver, kidney, and heart. Virus was isolated with varying frequency from nasal, rectal, or tonsil swab specimens, buffy coat, serum, urine, and lung lavage fluid obtained antemortem or postmortem. Virus was isolated from or viral DNA was detected in a variety of tissues obtained postmortem up to 125 days postinoculation. Antibody against type 2 porcine circovirus usually was detected in serum between 15 and 20 days postinoculation; however, antibody against virus was not detected in serum from 4 pigs euthanized 20-24 days postinoculation. Direct contact with pigs inoculated with virus 42 days previously resulted in transmission of virus to 3 of 3 control pigs.  相似文献

The effect of age on susceptibility of young pigs to streptococcic lymphadenitis was investigated. Twenty-nine cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs were allotted to 7 groups exposed to type IV group E Streptococcus (GES) at 5, 14, 28, 35, 56, 70, and 84 days of age. Four cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs were maintained as nonexposed controls. Six naturally farrowed, susceptible controls were exposed to GES at 63 to 84 days of age. All exposed pigs were killed and necropsied 28 days after exposure. Lesions of streptococcic lymphadenitis were not observed in pigs exposed at 5 or 14 days of age, except for 1 microabscess in a mandibular lymph node in a pig exposed at 14 days, but GES was recovered from 11% of lymph nodes examined from pigs of those age groups. Lesions and GES-positive lymph nodes were frequent in cesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs exposed at 28 days and older and in susceptible controls. Serologic response to exposure, as determined by microtitration agglutination test and bactericidal test, was observed only in pigs exposed at 14 days and older. The absence of abscess development in pigs exposed at 5 or 14 days of age was not caused by antibody or failure of infecting organisms to reach the target organs.  相似文献

In sheep, most blood vessels enter the lymph nodes at a discrete hilus, which is where the capsule overlies medullary tissue. In pigs, vessels within the node arise from an extensive network of arteries on the surface, and most vessels penetrate the capsule where it overlies diffuse tissue--the counterpart of the sheep medulla. In both species the blood vessels divide extensively as they approach and supply the dense lymphoid tissue which contains lymph nodules. The blood vessels within sheep lymph nodules are surrounded by a thick layer of amorphous material. The dense lymphoid tissue has an abundant network of venules which have smooth muscle cells in their walls. These venules are involved in lymphocyte migration and in pigs they are lined by high endothelium which is similar to that in most other species, while in sheep the endothelium is much lower. Fenestrated capillaries occur in both pig and sheep lymph nodes.  相似文献

Midwest U.S. herds (n = 63) were studied to identify risk factors for harboring Salmonella enterica among slaughter-weight pigs. Samples collected on farms (feces) and at slaughter (distal colonic content, cecal content and ileocolic lymph nodes) were cultured using conventional means. Approximately 15 pigs were studied per herd, for a total of 3754 samples. The proportion of pigs positive in one or more samples was calculated for each herd. Herd characteristics were described by a combination of interview and written survey. Logistic regression was used to detect relationships between the detection of Salmonella and potential herd-level risk factors. The mean individual pig prevalence was 5% for feces, 4% for distal colonic content, 15% for ileocolic lymph nodes, and 17% for cecal contents. One or more Salmonella isolates were detected in at least one sample type in every herd. The five most common serovars were S. Agona, S. Derby, S. Schwarzengrund, S. Typhimurium and S. Senftenberg, with 25 additional serovars detected. Salmonella prevalence estimates were positively correlated among all samples except distal colonic content and ileocolic lymph nodes. Pigs with culture positive fecal samples were at increased odds of being detected positive for each of the slaughter-collected samples examined, namely distal colonic content (OR = 30.5), ileocolic lymph nodes (OR = 12.9) and cecal content (OR = 23.2). Herds with positive fecal sample(s) had increased odds of having positive cecal content (OR > 1.5), distal colonic content (OR = 15.3) and ileocolic lymph nodes (OR = 12.7). Pigs from herds with at least some bowl drinkers had eight-fold higher odds of testing Salmonella positive than did pigs from herds with only nipple drinkers. Pigs from herds with only dry feeders had five-fold higher odds of testing Salmonella positive when compared with pigs from herds with combinations of wet/dry style feeders. Interventions at these two points should be considered when designing growing pig facilities to reduce Salmonella shedding.  相似文献

A study on slaughter pigs from Saskatchewan detected Salmonella organisms in 12.5% and 5.2% of cecal content and ileocaecal lymph node samples, respectively. Cecal content prevalence was associated with larger farms and longer lairage periods. Antimicrobial resistance was detected in 41.5% of the isolates. Salmonella Enteritidis was the second most prevalent serotype.  相似文献
