Classical Swine Fever and Related Viral Infections

Part of the book series: Developments in Veterinary Virology ((DVVI,volume 5))

Abstract

A tentative diagnosis of hog cholera (HC) may be made in the field if a thorough history is obtained and clinical signs and necropsy lesions are carefully observed (1, 2). In many instances there have been recent additions to the herd, or there is illness in herds in the neighborhood. With acute HC, deaths occur, and usually there have been unexplained deaths in advance of the outbreak. The recent use of HC vaccines or the feeding of uncooked garbage may be important points in the history (3).
