D2-Lancaatar Farming, Saturday, October 24,1992 WHAT IS PSEUDORABIES? Editor’s Note: This article is adapted from “Pseudorabies In Swine,” USDA/APHIS Program Aid No. 1301. Pseudorabies is principally a disease of swine caused by a her pes virus. Swine are the only known reser voir and the prime spreaders of the disease. The herpes virus family to which pseudorabies belongs is extensive, and most animal species are afflicted by one or more dis eases caused by a herpes virus. In humans, herpes viruses cause fever blisters, cold sores, genital heipes, chicken pox, and shingles. The pseudorabies virus, however, does not affect man and higher apes. Pseudorabies is occasionally transmitted from swine to cattle.

Because sudden death is the rule, these animals play a lim ited role in the spread of the disease. Symptoms in swine vary from an inapparent infection to sudden death. Severity is dependent on the age and immune status of the hogs, virulence of the viral strain, dose of the virus, and presence of con current infections. What Are The Clinical Signs In Swine? One of the insidious aspects of pseudorabies is that it may be pre sent in a herd without showing clear, clinical signs. Symptoms may be overlooked or mistaken for other disease's, especially in herds with some this spring, I used the Aer-Way Implement and ty chain harrow on my rolling pastureland. This le to open up the ground to gel water into the grasslands. At the same time I pulled the Aer lin harrow to scatter the cattle manure around. Even after the dry summer we had, I noticed that the Aer-Wayed ground held the moisture better and we got thicker and taller regrowth where we ran the machine.’ Dr. Rex Wilhelm D.V.M..

In older pigs, signs may include fever, loss of appetite, coughing, sneezing, pneumonia, convulsions, and occasionally blindness. In sows, one may see reproduc tive problems, including abortion and stillborn or mummified pigs. No. If sows were previously infected, their milk contains anti bodies that protect the piglets dur ing the critical early weeks. Pro tection by maternal antibodies gra dually subsides, and pigs become susceptible between the ages of 10 and 16 weeks. Infections at this stage are frequently subclinica). In older hogs, clinical signs may be absent, or flu-like symptoms may occur. Clinical signs are most prominent when infection is intro duced into a susceptible herd while sows are farrowing. Since other species always show visible signs, a dead dog, cat, or raccoon near swine may be the first indication that a herd is infected.
