Abstract

Parvovirosis, erysipelas, and leptospirosis are global diseases that affect pigs. Sows suffer from reproductive failures such as abortion, return to estrus, and increased rates of mummification and stillbirths, which directly affect the performance of the pig farm. Also, erysipelas and leptospirosis are zoonotic diseases, which is a risk to human health, especially those who have close contact with animals. This review article aimed to update these diseases, with a focus on epidemiology and impact on swine industry and public health.
