Abstract: Background Lawsonia intracellularis is the causative agent of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE), one of the most prevalent pig enteric diseases worldwide, but with sparse information about role of sows and suckling piglets as a source of infection. With that aim, this study evaluates the prevalence of L. intracellularis in 3-week-old piglets by analysing ileal digesta content and mucosal scrapings from 383 pigs from 16 batches (aprox., 25 pigs/batch) by real-time qPCR and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).
