when they aie born, may be
come ill, and may transmit the
disease to other susceptible
hogs.
The .discovery supports ex
periments in this country and
in England that demonstrated
(that hog cholera transmission
might be associated with preg
nancy.
The netf ARS findings may
help locate previously unex
plained sources of infection
since scientists formerly be
lieved that hog cholera was
spread mainly by contact of
susceptible pigs with infected
ammals or contaminated sur
roundings.
The discovery also empha
sizes the need for disposal of
all exposed hogs in order to
eradicate the disease.
ARS veterinarian and hog
cholera epidemiologist S H
Young found, after investigat
ing outbreaks in Indiana, that
bred sows which had been in
contact with field strains of
hog cholera virus or with mod
ified live virus vaccines could
transmit the disease Both vac
cinated and unvaccinated sows
were involved in the outbreaks
This, scientists say, may be
explained by the “immune tol
erance” theory Although im
mune to the disease, a sow
can carry the virus in hei
blood after exposure and can
transmit the virus through the
placental membranes to her
unborn pigs. The antibody
process of the fetus its de
fense mechanism is not yet
in operation, so the fetus “ac
cepts” 'the hog cholera virus
as a product of its own tis
sues. Thus, the pigs are born
with hog cholera.
In baby pigs, Young found,
the usual hog cholera symp
toms and post mortem findings
were not present The disease
often developed slowly or ap
peared in chronic form Thus,
in many cases, hog cholera
was not detected until it
spread to older susceptible
pigs, where it exhibited its
usual pattern

virologist at ARS’s National

Ames, lowa, isolated and iden
tified hog choleia vnus in the
baby pigs by use of the fluor
escent antibody, tissue cultme
technique In this test, cell
cultures innoculated with tis
sue suspensions from pigs sus
pected of having hog cholera
are tieated with a fluorescent
dye combined with antibodies
from anti-hog-cholera seium
This dye-antibody combination
is attracted to infected cells
and these cells are readily dis
tinguished under a fluorescent
microscope.
