The aim of the paper was to evaluate the possible interaction between the presence of swine infectious diseases and low levels of mycotoxins in swine feed. The material for this research included the samples from three swine farms, where health disorders in different swine categories were detected. The applied research methods included: epidemiological and clinical evaluation, pathological examination, bacteriological and virological laboratory testing and microbiological feed testing, in order to examine the presence of fungi and mycotoxins by the method of thin layer chromatography. Beside this, the molecular diagnostic method, reverse transcripton-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and viral isolation was included. The obtained results support the existance of positive interaction between the mycotoxins and causative agents of bacterial and viral swine infective diseases.
