Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a major cause of pleuropneumonia, an acute or chronic lung disease of pigs that causes significant morbidity, mortality and economic losses in the worldwide pig industry (Bossé and others 2002, Gottschalk 2012). There are 15 established serovars of the bacterium determined by the composition of the capsular polysaccharide (Gottschalk 2012) with another proposed based on serology alone (Sárközi and others 2015). Determining the serovar allows insights into the epidemiology of A. pleuropneumoniae, for example, to map outbreaks of disease, to identify introductions of serovars not previously detected in countries and to assist in the formulation of bacterin vaccines. Serovar prevalence varies from country to country and with time (Dubreuil and others 2000, Gottschalk 2015). For example, currently serovars 5 and 7 dominate in Canada (Gottschalk and Lacouture 2015), whereas until the 1990s, it was serovar 1 (Gottschalk 2015). In Australia, serovar 15 is highly prevalent (Turni and others 2014) but is rarely reported elsewhere, although it has been recently found in Canada (Gottschalk and Lacouture 2014) and possibly also in Japan (Koyama and others 2007).
