|a1= Encephalomyocarditis. The disease affects the nervous, reproductive, respiratory and circulatory system of pigs.
Encephalomyocarditis which causes: 
  −
*High mortality in young pigs
  −
*Reproductive failures in breeding females *Piglets suffer from myocarditis, encephalitis and sudden death due to myocardial failure
