Abstract

<p>　Swine erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusipathiae is an infectious disease of swine and Wild boar. E. rhusiopathiae infections are also reported in cattle, dogs, birds and cetaceans. In particular, the occurrence of swine erysipelas in dolphins has reported many cases of death due to acute septicemia. Penicillins are effective for the treatment of swine erysipelas. In addition, live vaccines and inactivated vaccines are applied for the prevention of E. rhusiopathiae infections. Furthermore, it is important for swine to be thorough daily hygiene managements in order to prevent for swine erysipelas. In this lecture, I would like to think about a more effective preventive measure against E. rhusiopathiae infection in dolphins by preventing contamination of feed fish, by vaccination with swine inactivated vaccine, and by examining the trend of the antibody titer against E. rhusiopathiae.</p>
