    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) MIRANDA, Juliana C.; SILVA, Marcos Donizete da; CARVALHO, Ana Flávia de
    Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of Swine Enzootic Pneumonia, characterized by dyspnea, dry cough, anorexia, growth retardation, lethargy, and fever, causing great economic losses for the swine industry. The diagnosis by ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) has high specificity and sensitivity in the detection of M. hyopneumoniae. Treatment is based on the administration of high doses of antibiotics. Vaccination helps to decrease the clinical presentation of the disease, and prophylaxis is the best tool to fight the disease.
