Pathogenesis
- Transient vesicular lesions occurring 2 days to 2 weeks post-infection
- Easily confused with Foot and Mouth Disease
Epidemiology
- Transfer via ingestion of unboiled swill
- Eradicated from the UK in 1981
Diagnosis
- ELISA for virus antigen on vesicle fluid
Control
- NOTIFIABLE disease
- Restriction of movement
- Slaughter with compensation
- Carcasses buried in lime or incinerated
- May produce vesicles in mouth that are indistinguishable from foot and mouth disease
- Swine vesicular disease produces sporadic large outbreaks
- Approximately 5% have lesions in mouth, foot lesions much more common
