Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE, Ileitis) is a wide spread enteric disease caused by the intracellular bacteria Lawsonia intracellularis (L. intracellularis). Epidemiology is strongly influenced by farm characteristics, thus showing big variations in time of onset, severity and prevalence of infection. The two major forms of Ileitis are a subclinical disease of chronic diarrhea leading to poor performance in pigs or an acute disease resulting in severe diarrhea with high mortality. Both forms result in severe financial concerns. 

Kernel PPE ELISA Kit is a blocking Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the detection of Lawsonia intracellularis (L. intracellularis ) specific antibodies in porcine serum and plasma samples.
