“…The data from other series showed that the majority of patients with S. suis infection presented with meningitis. 7,10,21,33 However, meningitis was the second most common manifestation in our study. Deafness was the most frequent complication in other case series; unilateral or bilateral hearing loss had been documented in 47% of patients from European and 30-50% of patients from Asian case series.…”

“…However, it does not eliminate carriers thus negatively impacting transmission of S. suis. One of the major drawbacks is the development of antimicrobial resistant S. suis isolated from both pigs and humans (Mai et al 2008;Gottschalk et al 1991c;Prieto et al 1994;Aarestrup et al 1998;Marie et al 2002;Shneerson et al 1980;Wisselink et al 2006;Vela et al 2005). Vaccines currently in use prevent outbreak in pig herds, but are observed to have varying efficacy (Lun et al 2007;Haesebrouck et al 2004).…”

Zoonoses - Infections Affecting Humans and Animals

Swine and their products have become a central part of food systems around the world. Global pork production has rapidly increased over the past 30 years, leading to the intensification of the swine industry: though there are fewer farms now, those farms that do persist raise ever-larger numbers of animals. This increases the transmission of pathogens both amongst animal herds, and between animals and their human caretakers. Furthermore, increased stress to animals and the potential for amplification of pathogens in the farming environment can lead to a higher burden of disease-causing organisms in and on meat products, which then make their way to consumers world-wide. As such, swine and their meat products have the potential to introduce new zoonotic diseases into populations via multiple routes of transmission. Here we discuss several examples of zoonotic diseases of swine origin, reviewing diseases with bacterial, viral, or parasitic causes. Background and IntroductionPork is rapidly becoming the world's source of protein. Global pork production increased more than 80 % between 198580 % between and 201080 % between (Fournie et al. 2012, and this trend has led to the intensification of swine husbandry, with fewer and fewer facilities present, but each raising larger numbers of individual animals. China has been a driver of this market, accounting for approximately 50 % of total global pig production (Fournie et al. 2012). As swine production has intensified, so has concern over how these modifications in husbandry may affect the transmission of disease amongst pigs as well as to human caretakers. It has been estimated that more than 60 % of emerging diseases are zoonotic (Jones et al. 2008). A recent review (Fournie et al. 2012) identified 77 pathogens that had not been described in swine prior to 1985, including 39 viruses and 32 bacterial species. Not surprisingly, the top 20 % of pork-producing countries accounted for 82 % of these emerging pathogens. Of these 77 novel species found to infect swine, 30 (39 %) are zoonotic, and 23
