Vigilance Urged
On Hog Cholera
U S Department of
Agriculture officials--citmg a hog
cholera outbreak in Indiana last
week-urged hog producers and
practicing veterinarians to
remain alert and report any
suspicious illness in swine
Officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) explained that hog
cholera may appear in either an
acute or chronic form In cases of
acute or severe infection, hogs
sicken and die quickly In the
chronic or less severe infection,
hogs may be sick for weeks or
months before they succumb In
some cases, they recover
Low-grade or chronic hog
cholera was diagnosed in an
Indiana herd of 328 swine on June
28 The herd has been destroyed
to prevent spread of infection and
the owners will be indemnified
for their losses An area around
the outbreak will remain under
quarantine for 30 days following
cleaning and disinfection of the
premises
APHIS officials noted the in
fection was discovered by a local
veterinary practitioner who
submitted tissue samples to the
diagnostic laboratory at Purdue
University for analysis.
Hog cholera is an infectious
and usually fatal disease of
swine It has been the object of a
nationwide eradication program
since 1962. Caused by a virus, hog
cholera affects no other animals
or humans.
APHIS officials note that often
in the final stages of eradication
efforts, cases which are not
typical appear, so diagnosticians
must not be misled by the
symptoms. The officials urged
veterinarians examining hogs not
to overlook unusual symptoms.
Hog cholera cases increased
markedly during the 12-month
period ending July 1, with the
reporting of 163 infected herds
containing 61,400 hogs. This’is
more than double the 76 infected
herds containing 19,400 hogs
reported during the previous 12
months (July 1, 1971 - June 30,
1972).
APHIS officials point out,
however, that hog cholera cases
have dropped dramatically in the
past six months, compared with
the same period last year. From
Jan 1 to July 1, 1972, some 58
infected herds were reported.
From Jan Ito July 1, 1973, only
16 infected herds were found-a 74
percent reduction in disease
incidence.
During the last 12 months, 70
percent of the infected herds
were in five states: Indiana,
Kentucky, New Jersey, North
Carolina, and Ohio Outbreaks
last year caused Secretary of
Agriculture Earl Butz to declare
a national emergency on Oct. 11,
to protect the country’s pork
supply and halt further spreading
of the disease.
Prior to the recent Indiana
outbreaks the last previous hog
cholera infection was diagnosed
on May 2 in Texas. Puerto Rico
reported two infected herds on
March 22 and 23, and remains
under federal quarantine for hog
cholera
