Porcine asthma is a highly contagious respiratory infectious disease that poses significant challenges in disease control. It spreads rapidly within pig herds and can contaminate the surrounding environment, posing a threat to the health of other animals. Clinical manifestations of porcine asthma include rapid breathing, nasal discharge, wheezing, and coughing, with severe cases potentially leading to pig mortality. Furthermore, the virus can potentially transmit between humans and pigs, posing a latent threat to human health. Porcine asthma inhibits pig growth, reduces meat and other livestock product yields, resulting in economic losses in the livestock industry. Effective diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance to mitigate economic losses in the swine industry. This paper aims to provide insights into the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of porcine asthma, analyzing and summarizing clinical symptoms and pathological changes. Drawing upon previous research experiences, laboratory diagnostic methods and treatment protocols for porcine asthma are introduced, along with a brief overview of their current research status, advantages, and limitations. This study aims to offer assistance to future diagnosis and treatment of porcine asthma in the swine industry.
