Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of diarrheal diseases caused by intestinal spirochaetes. Specifically, the invention relates to the prevention and/or treatment of infections with B. hyodysenteriae. In one aspect, the invention relates to a novel recombinant polypeptide, wherein said polypeptide may preferably be combined with one or more further recombinant polypeptides. In a further aspect, an immunogenic composition containing said recombinant polypeptide(s) is provided for use in a method for treating or preventing clinical signs caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to vaccine strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. In particular, the present invention relates to isolated live vaccine strains of B. hyodysenteriae lacking one or more virulence factors. The present invention also relates to methods of identifying and preparing vaccine strains, as well as vaccine compositions against diarrhoeal diseases and methods and kits for diagnosing same.

Abstract: Novel polynucleotide and amino acids of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae are described. These sequences are useful for diagnosis of B. hyodysenteriae disease in animals and as a therapeutic treatment or prophylactic treatment of B. hyodysenteriae disease in animals. These sequences may also be useful for diagnostic and therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of diseases in animals caused by other Brachyspira species.
