Pathogenic pseudorabies virus, China, 2012

Xiuling Yu et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 Jan.

Abstract

In 2012, an unprecedented large-scale outbreak of disease in pigs in China caused great economic losses to the swine industry. Isolates from pseudorabies virus epidemics in swine herds were characterized. Evidence confirmed that the pathogenic pseudorabies virus was the etiologic agent of this epidemic.

Keywords: China; highly pathogenic PRV; pigs; pseudorabies; swine; viruses.
