【目的】豚サーコウイルス2型(PCV2)の感染は、ほとんどの農場でみられ、死亡率の増加や増体重の低下などをもたらす。PCV2検査は、PCR法、間接蛍光抗体法(IFA法)及びELISA法が用いられている。しかし、これらの検査では正確な汚染度を明らかにすることができないため、ウイルス量を定量できるリアルタイムPCR法(rPCR法)が推奨されている。そこで、農場の離乳後事故率(事故率)とrPCR法及びIFA法の結果を比較し、rPCR法の有用性を検討した。
【方法】関東地域にある事故率が5%、10%及び20%の各3農場で、平成20年に採材したPCV2ワクチン未接種の血清を用いた。検体数は各農場で母豚6頭、30、60、90、120及び150日齢の肥育豚3頭ずつを基本とした。rPCR法による血清1mL中のPCV2量及びIFA法による抗体価の測定を行い、その結果を比較した。
【結果】事故率5%群のPCV2量は6.0×102~7.6×103 copies/mLで、90日齢で最高値を示した。事故率10%群及び20%群では6.0×102~3.8×104 copies/mL及び3.1×103~2.4×105 copies/mLで、60日齢で最高値を示した。事故率5%群は20%群と比較して母豚、30日齢、60日齢、150日齢で有意に低かった。また10%群との比較では60日齢で有意に低かった。事故率10%群は20%群と比較して母豚、150日齢で有意に低かった。IFA抗体価は、いずれの日齢においても群間に有意差はみられなかった。
【総括】事故率5%群のPCV2量は全ての日齢において104 copies/mL以下であったことから、このレベルが事故率改善の一つの指標となることが示唆された。また、日齢ごとにPCV2量を測定することにより、PCV2の増殖時期が明らかとなるため、対策を講じる上で有用な情報となると考えられた。

Major Pathogens Found in Sick Piglets
Introduction
We have been concerned with health consultation and diagnostic examination of pig farms in central and northern Japan. The purpose of this study is to elucidate relationship between the infectious diseases and piglet age by epidemiological survey of the causative pathogens from 2004 to 2008.
Materials and Methods
1094 samples in total, carcass and feces of diarrhea, were collected from 62 farms in Kanto, 71 in Tohoku and Hokkaido district of Japan. For detection of pathogens, cultural isolation and identification were employed for Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Haemophilus parasuis, Pasteurella multocida, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp. and Streptococcus sp.; PCR methods for PRRSV, PCV2, and Lawsonia intracellularis; latex agglutination method for Rotavirus; and microscopic examination for fecal parasites such as Coccidium and Trichuris suis.
ResultsThe incidence of detected pathogens at each growth stage of piglets. Additional pathogens detected in PRRSV positive samples (194 cases) and those in PCV2 positive samples (34 cases) . In 0 to 30-days old piglets, C. perfringens and Shiga toxin- producing E. coli (STEC) were found at high rates, 40.5 and 23.5%, respectively. STEC, H. parasuis, P. multocida, and C. perfringens were dominated in 30 to 60-days old animals (20.4, 14.8, 14.6, and 14.1%, respectively). Whereas, the major pathogens changed in the course of piglet growth. PRRSV, P.multocida, and A. pleuropneumoniae were found at high rates (24.9, 20.2, and 18.1%, respectively) in 60 to 90-days old ones; A. pleuropneumoniae, C. perfringens, and P. multocida were abundant in 90 to 120-days old ones (19.2, 17.4 and 15.6%, respectively). Accompanied pathogen to PRRSV was found as P. multocida at the highest rate (40.6%), followed by H. parasuis (24.5%) and A. pleuropneumoniae (19.6%). The mixed infection with PCV2 positive cases was attributed to H. parasuis (48.0%), P. multocida (44.0%), and A. pleuropneumoniae (16.0%).
DiscussionThe results indicate pathological relevance between the pathogens and the age of piglets. Namely, the pathogens causing digestive system diseases were dominant in the early stage of growth, while the agents causing digestive and respiratory system diseases were detected at a nearly same rate in 30 to 60-days old piglets. After 60 days, prevailing pathogens were almost limited to respiratory diseases. In any stage of animal growth, most of the detected pathogens were causative of chronic or opportunistic diseases, and it was suggested that they could develop into complex syndromes by mixed infection with PRRSV or PCV2.
