Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between Spirochaeta suis, a newly discovered organism, and hog cholera, a devastating disease that has long plagued the swine industry. The author meticulously documents their groundbreaking research, providing compelling evidence that Spirochaeta suis is not only present in the ulcers, crypts, and local lesions of cholera-infected animals, but also capable of inducing the disease in healthy hogs. Through meticulous experiments involving culture inoculation and filtration, the author demonstrates that both the spirochete and its granular form can produce hog cholera or immunity to it. This groundbreaking discovery overturns previous assumptions about the etiology of hog cholera and offers a promising new direction for the development of preventive measures and treatments.
