Salmonella infections of swine are of concern for two major reasons. The first is clinical disease in pigs, and the second is that swine can be infected with a broad range of Salmonella serotypes that can potentially contaminate pork products and pose a threat to human health. Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is a worldwide health problem and is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses in the United States and many parts of the world. Host-adapted Salmonella Choleraesuis is isolated almost exclusively from diseased swine and is usually manifested as septicemia. Salmonella Typhisuis is an infrequent cause of chronic diarrhea and wasting with characteristic caseating lesions in affected pigs. The diarrheic pig contaminates its environment and is the single most important source of infection for other pigs. Citing Literature Diseases of Swine, Eleventh Edition RelatedInformation
