𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 (PPE) is a pretty descriptive name! It affects pigs, causes proliferation of cells, and it is an 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲, a disease affecting the intestines.

𝐓𝐲𝐳𝐳𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 is a bacterial infection of the liver that leads to 𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬, or death of the liver cells.

𝐌𝐲𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 is caused by 𝐌𝐲𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐚 species, and today we will specifically talk about 𝐌𝐲𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬. Mycoplasmas are a specific type of bacteria that lack a cell wall.

𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 is infection with 𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐝𝐢𝐚, a species of bacteria. You’ve probably heard of Chlamydia in people!

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐬 are a form of 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐧𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬. Nephritis means inflammation of the kidney, and embolic means that the inflammation is caused by 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢 or aggregates of bacteria in the bloodstream.

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 is a bacterial infection of the skin, causing an 𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 (fluid leaking from tissue) that makes the pigs look and feel greasy.

𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐃 is a bacterial infection of the skin and shell of turtles, that eventually enters the bloodstream causing 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐚 (bacteria in the blood).

𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐱 is a bacterial disease that causes severe 𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 (inflammation of the lymphatic vessels) and 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐚 (blood infection), and has a high mortality rate.

𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐠 is a form of 𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 (muscle infection causing death of tissue) caused by bacterial infection. This disease is typically characterized by “bubbles” in the muscle, from the bacteria producing gas.

𝐀𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 is an infection of the 𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬, the filtration system of the nose. In this disease, the nasal turbinates become 𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐝 (smaller) and malformed, which keeps them from doing their air-filtering job effectively.
