LProliferative enteropathy (or PE) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis is a gram-negative bacteria that Lawsonia intracellularis has been an important disease in the lives inside mammalian cells. The bacteria has a worldwide commercial swine industry for many decades, but it was not distribution in pigs, and in horses it has been identified in identified in foals with intestinal disease (enteropathy) until North America (U.S and Canada), Europe (Switzerland, 1996.

This article will discuss proliferative 4 to 7 months of age, shortly after the weaning period. 2 However, the disease has also been identified in yearlings. Abdominal ultrasound is a useful tool in Transmission occurs either by fecal-oral or environmental- identifying intestinal thickening in affected oral routes, although the exact source of infection in foals (Figure 1). horses is unknown. Researchers have identified Lawsonia intracellularis sporadically in indigenous wildlife on farms However, a normal abdominal ultrasound does not rule out with endemic EPE. However, a definitive link between the Lawsonia intracellularis infection. Lawsonia intracellularis identified in these animals (including pigs) and infected horses has not been established. The Definitive diagnosis of EPE due to Lawsonia intracellularis stresses associated with weaning and the weaknesses in the in a live foal can be challenging.
