Defining domains within Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae surface proteins that interact with host extracellular matrix: efficacy testing of candidate vaccines in swine

澳大利亚90%以上的商品猪生产设施受到猪肺炎支原体的影响，猪肺炎是猪地方性肺炎的病原体。这种疾病在澳大利亚每年造成超过2000万美元的经济损失，在世界主要养猪国家每年造成高达10亿美元的经济损失。该项目将确定新一代疫苗对猪肺炎分枝杆菌的保护效果，旨在阻止定植过程并预防疾病。

Over 90% of Australian commercial pig production facilities are affected by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the causative agent of swine enzootic pneumonia. This disease causes economic losses in Australia of over $20 million per annum and up to $1 billion per annum in major swine rearing countries worldwide. This project will determine the protective efficacy of new generation vaccines against M. hyopneumoniae, which aim to block the colonisation process and prevent disease .
