Edema Disease: It is caused by infection with the bacteria Escherichia coli. The bacteria produce toxins that cause neurological symptoms and swelling of the mucous membranes, such as around the eyes. Acute death may also occur. Vaccination and control of the correct weather and environment are recommended.

Swine Dysentery: It is caused by infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, which causes inflammation of the intestines. Pigs will have severe diarrhea, with liquid feces containing mucus and blood mixed with intestinal tissue. Prevention should be done by controlling hygiene and cleaning in the farm.
