A campylobacter-like bacterium, isolated from the terminal ileum of a pig with porcine proliferative enteritis (PPE), was used to initiate PPE in healthy crossbred pigs. Post-mortem examinations of pigs infected orally with the bacterium revealed thickening of the terminal ileum, haemorrhage within the ileum, degeneration of ileal villi and large quantities of bile and mucous in the ileal contents. Histopathological examination revealed that the terminal ileum, ileo-caecal valve and caecum from infected pigs had partial or total loss of mucous membrane, hyperplasia of the crypt and glandular epithelial cells, campylobacter-like organisms in and around the Peyers' patches and lymphoid aggregates in the mucosa. The causative organism was re-isolated from the intestinal specimens of infected animals post-mortem. In control animals, kept under the same conditions, no evidence of abnormality was observed in the terminal ileum, ileo-caecal valve or caecum.
