MULTI-SYSTEMIC

Multi-systemic diseases are extremely complex in that they affect multiple organ systems, express similar symptoms as others, can often be a primary disease-causing pathogen or opportunistic, and be hard to treat and prevent. These pathogens can often require extensive diagnostics to determine which isolates are causing diseases and which should be put into a vaccine. Fortunately, Vaxxinova scientists have been studying pathogens like mycoplasmas and streptococci for more than 25 years and have found the specific isolates that have the most damaging impacts to pigs.
