Surveillance for porcine proliferative enteropathy in Alberta by using routine diagnostic laboratory data

Can Vet J. 2002 Aug;43(8):604-6.

Abstract

Data from the Food Safety Division, Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development were analyzed to determine the frequency of diagnosis of porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE) relative to the diagnosis of other porcine enteric infections between 1993 and 1997. Next to colibacillosis, PPE was the most commonly diagnosed enteric disease among those reported.
