ABSTRACT

Piney Woods miniature swine, when injected with Mycoplasma hyorhinis, develop an acute arthritis. The disease in these animals is limited clinically, microbiologically, and pathologically to a mild acute illness without the more chronic and destructive features noted in a previous study of the experimental disease in Yorkshire swine.
