ObjectiveThis study was to establish a simple method for collecting and detecting Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae （Mhp） in aerosol. MethodBased on the mechanisms of liquid impinger and filtration sampler, a double concentration aerosol sampler was designed for collecting Mhp aerosol. Firstly, the collection was performed in a closed environment full of artificial aerosol of Mhp. Secondly, collection efficiency was detected by real-time PCR. Thereafter, the clinical feasibility of the designed equipment was tested by collecting aerosol samples in different pig herds. In one assay, the samples were collected at different times from one pig house challenged with Mhp. In another assay, the samples was collected from the delivery room, nursery and fattenning house of a MPS outbreak farm as well as a Mhp infection positive pig farm without obvious clinical symptoms. All the aerosol samples were then detected by real-time PCR or nested PCR. ResultThe collection efficiency of the designed bioaerosol sampler was （37.04±6.43） %, Mhp could be detected 7 d after intratracheal challenge with pneumonic lung homogenate suspension. Aerosol samples of 11 pig houses from the two Mhp positive pig farms with or without clinical symptoms all showed a positive result of PCR, the positivity rate was 100%. ConclusionA high sensitive collecting and detecting technology of aerosol was successfully established, which can be applied to clinical detection of Mhp in aerosol.
