- Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming
bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild
and domestic lower vertebrates (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes,
and other herbivores), but it can also occur in humans when they
are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals.
Check out these links to help you put this disease in perspective
by learning about its causes, symptoms, treatments and preventative
measures.

Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Also known as PCV2, this is a very small circular-arranged DNA virus that belongs to the Circoviridae family. PCV2-infection is widespread. Essentially all pig herds are infected with PCV2 but relatively few have PCV2-associated disease, also known as PCVAD.

- Swine erysipelas also is known as diamond skin disease
because of the skin markings it produces. The disease is soilborne
and seems to occur more often in hot, dry conditions.
