1. Proliferative Enteropathy:

   • Lawsonia intracellularis causes proliferative enteropathy, a disease characterized by the thickening of the intestines due to the proliferation of infected cells. This can lead to diarrhea, weight loss, and reduced growth rates in affected animals.

2. Swine Proliferative Enteropathy (SPE):

   • In swine, Lawsonia intracellularis is a significant concern, especially in intensive pig farming. Piglets and growing pigs are particularly susceptible to the infection, which can result in economic losses for the swine industry.

3. Equine Proliferative Enteropathy (EPE):

   • Lawsonia intracellularis can also cause proliferative enteropathy in horses. However, clinical signs in horses may vary, and the disease's impact on equine health can be less severe than in swine.

4. Zoonotic Potential:

   • Lawsonia intracellularis is generally not considered zoonotic, meaning it does not commonly infect humans. Human infections are rare, and when they occur, they are typically associated with occupational exposure to infected animals.

5. Prevention and Control:

   • Disease prevention and control in animals often involve good management practices, biosecurity measures, and, in some cases, vaccination strategies. Control of Lawsonia intracellularis in swine, for example, may include the use of antibiotics or vaccination.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
