Abstract
Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae (HP) is the cause of a contagious pneumonia in pigs. The disease is a major problem in the swine industry and is being increasingly diagnosed as a cause of mortality and lowered production. Presently used procedures to control the disease have failed to slow its spread or significantly reduce losses associated with infection. The clinical signs, pathology and immunopathology suggest that bacterial toxins, possibly endotoxin, play a major role in the pathogenesis of the disease (1,12).
