Abstract
We found a higher number of H. parasuis strains (16 strains) within a given farm than previously thought. Overall, more H. parasuis diversity was found in piglets from non-vaccinated sows than in those from vaccinated sows. These results indicate that vaccination of sows in a farm delays the coloniz...
