Basonym: Haemophilus parasuis Biberstein and White 1969.
Recognized 4 serovars (A-D, based on capsular polysaccharides) or 15 serovars (1-15, based on heat-stable antigen extracts).
Gram-negative, pleomorphic rods, variable length, some strains form capsule.
Growth of freshly isolated strains on chocolate agar is very feeble after 2-3 days.
Colonies are smooth, grayish, translucent, small (0.5 mm in diameter) to 1-2 mm
around. Hemolysis is negative. Require V-factor but no X-factor or CO2 for growth.
Optimum temperature 37 ºC. Growth on Mac Conkey agar is negative.

Member of the normal flora of the upper respiratory tract of swine.
Causes respiratory tract infections and polyserositis in pigs (Glasser disease).
Frequently may be isolated from nasal cavity, tonsils and upper trachea from healthy pigs.
