Under the standards of the Cooperative State-Federal Hog Cholera Eradication Program, states lose “free” status unless primary hog cholera outbreaks are eliminated promptly without further spread. Prior to today’s action 46 States were hog cholera free. State and federal officials currently are surveying all swine herds in the area of the recent outbreaks to locate any other herds that may have been ex posed to the disease. Surveillance will be maintained for a minimum of 30 days following the most recent case. If no further cases occur Nebraska will regain “free” status in six months. APHIS officials are also con cerned about recent cases in other states. Within the past two months, hog cholera has been discovered in Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Texas, indicating that the virus is present either in raw pork or is being spread through movements of swine or contaminated vehicles. Federal quarantine against hog cholera are now in effect in all or parts of 15 counties in six states. To date this year, 71 hog cholera cases have been reported in the United States, compared with 106 cases for the same period a year ago.
