The Porcine Polyserositis dtec-qPCR-Panel-3 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Haemophilus parasuis, Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Streptococcus suis detection by using qPCR. Polyserositis is a frequent disease in swine, which is characterised by fibrinous pleuritis, pericarditis or peritonitis, frequently associated with arthritis and meningitis. Young pigs, usually 4-to-8 weeks old, are the predominantly affected population. Haemophilus parasuis, Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Streptococcus suis microorganisms are part of the natural microbiome of swine, nevertheless, infection with certain strains may lead to the apparition of the disease. Haemophilus parasuis is a small, pleomorphic, Gram-negative rod which is present in all major swine-rearing countries and remains a significant pathogen in pig farms. Mycoplasma hyorhinis is characterised by the lack of a cell wall and causing that affected pigs may die suddenly or develop chronic arthritis. Streptococcus suis is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile bacterium with a worldwide distribution which infection may result in swine streptococcosis. Transmission usually occurs by mixing healthy carrier pigs with other individuals.
