      survey.

AB  - Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) is an unequivocally leading cause of 
      economic losses to the pig industry. To investigate the pathogens associated with 
      PRDC, a total of 900 lungs with gross lesions and 125 lungs with no appreciable 
      gross lesions were collected from the abattoirs and subjected to pathological 
      investigation for distribution of lesions/and types of exudates, as well as to 
      molecular confirmation of bacterial and viral pathogens by PCR. The pneumonic 
      lungs showed the higher prevalence of Mycoplasma spp. (31.22%), with evidence of 
      M. hyorhinis, P. multocida (21.33%), S. suis (18.66%), B. bronchiseptica 
      (16.77%), and viral pathogens as porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) (28.11%), 
      porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) (2.7%) and swine 
      influenza virus (SIV) (1.2%). On histopathological examination, high prevalence 
      of bronchopneumonia (37.88%) followed by enzootic pneumonia‑like lung lesions 
      (11.44%), and interstitial pneumonia (7.44%) was recorded in the majority of 
      affected pigs. The winter season was found to be more conducive for highest 
      prevalence of pneumonia as compared to other seasons. The present study reports 
      the high prevalence of PRDC in slaughtered pigs of India. M. hyorhinis showing 
      the EP‑like lesions, PCV2 and their combination were likely to be the prime 
      contributors of PRDC in Indian pigs.
