Abstract

The authors examined the combined effect of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mh) and fumonisin B₁ (FB₁) mycotoxin in pigs. Computed tomography (CT) was applied to follow up the pathological events in the lung. Piglets were infected with Mh, or treated with FB_1, or both infected and treated with Mh and FB₁. The Mh infection produced lung lesions in all piglets the severity of which was increased by FB₁. The CT is a suitable method for studying the pathological conditions in the lower respiratory tract of swine.
