Feral Swine Raise PRV Concerns

Although no domestic herds are infected with pseudorabies (PRV) in the United States, four cases of infection were found in feral swine in 2005, it was reported at the U.S. Animal Health Association annual meeting last month in Hershey, PA. Infected feral swine were detected in Louisiana and Arizona; all were destroyed and no hogs remain on the farms.
