This disease is notifiable and exotic to the UK. It is still present in Ireland and is not notifiable there. It is present worldwide and is particularly a problem in Eastern Europe. The virus can affect pigs, cattle, horses, cats, dogs and sheep.

The virus affects all animals differently, for instance, in sows, aerosol transmission causes [[bronchopneumonia]] followed by viremia, where as in piglats the virus spreads to neurons, causing encephalitis with convulsions. In other animals the air-borne virus can infect a skin wound and cause pruritus (mad itch), followed by encephalitis.

====Pathogenesis====

Sows:

*'''Aerosol''' transmission causes bronchopneumonia followed by viremia

*Sows will recover but some may abort

*Virus spreads to neurons, causing '''encephalitis''' with convulsions

In '''sows''', where the virus causes bronchopneumonia, signs include coughing, serous nasal discharge, increased respiratory rate, increased lung sounds on auscultation and pyrexia and general malaise. Some sows will recover, but in others the disease will cause abortion and occasional death. In '''piglets''', signs are much more severe and many die within 2 days. Signs include pyrexia, malaise, severe depression and convulsions.

In countries where the disease is endemic, such as Ireland and Europe, there is a vaccine available. These are E-deleted '''marker vaccines''' that work by stimulating cell-mediated immunity.
