Read the following paragraph. As you read, think about whether the text consistently moves from general information to specific information.
Pleuropneumonia (APP) can present as a dramatic clinical disease or as a chronic, production limiting disease in pig herds. A sudden increase in the number of sick and coughing pigs and a sharp rise in mortalities among grower / finisher pigs may herald an outbreak of APP in a herd. On the other hand, signs may be limited to a drop in growth rate and an increase in grade two pleurisy lesions in slaughter pigs. The disease surfaced in the Australian pig population during the first half of the last decade and ten years on is regarded as one of the most costly and devastating diseases affecting the Australian pig industry.
