Background  The efficacy of a novel inactivated intradermal  Lawsonia intracellularis  vaccine, Porcilis® Lawsonia ID, was evaluated in two experimental vaccination-challenge studies and under field conditions on a farm with a history of recurrent acute ileitis. In addition, the efficacy of the vaccine was compared to that of a commercially available live attenuated vaccine. The novel inactivated vaccine consists of a freeze-dried antigen fraction that is dissolved just prior to use in either the adjuvant or in Porcilis® PCV ID; an existing intradermal vaccine against porcine Circovirus type 2. In the two experimental vaccination-challenge studies, groups of 25 piglets were vaccinated once at 3 weeks of age or left unvaccinated as challenge control. Vaccines tested were Porcilis® Lawsonia ID as standalone (study 1) or in associated mixed use with Porcilis® PCV ID (study 2) and an orally administered commercially available live vaccine (study 1). The pigs were challenged with virulent  L. intracellularis  at 4 weeks (study 1) or 21 weeks (study 2) after vaccination. Post-challenge, the pigs were evaluated for clinical signs, average daily weight gain, shedding and macroscopic as well as microscopic immuno-histological ileum lesion scores. In the field study, the mortality and key performance parameters were evaluated over a period of 8 months.    Results  The results of the two experimental vaccination-challenge studies showed that Porcilis® Lawsonia ID as single vaccine or in associated mixed use with Porcilis® PCV ID, induced statistically significant protection against experimental  L. intracellularis  infection, 4 weeks or 21 weeks after vaccination. This was demonstrated by lower clinical scores, improved weight gain, reduction of  L. intracellularis  shedding and reduction of macroscopic as well as microscopic ileum lesion scores when compared to the controls. The protection induced was superior to that of the commercially available live vaccine. In the field study Porcilis® Lawsonia ID was highly efficacious in reducing  L. intracellularis  associated mortality and improving key production parameters.    Conclusion  The results support that this new intradermal vaccine is efficacious against  L. intracellularis  and may be used in associated mixed use with Porcilis® PCV ID.
