Hog Fever Views

• Books

Classical swine fever (also known as hog cholera) is a highly contagious viral infection of swine that is often fatal.  The virus is most often transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated feed or garbage. However, the virus may also be spread through open wounds and mucous membranes, contact with bodily secretions or feces of an infected pig, physical transfer from a contaminated object, human or insect, sow to piglet transfer or inhalation in close quarters.

The continuing impact of CSF on swine health and the economy led the USDA to initiate a Hog Cholera Eradication Program in 1961.  This eradication program included a ban on classical swine fever vaccines made from live virus (a potential source of new infection), the development of a rapid test to diagnose CSF, and the development of disinfectants that would kill the virus. The eradication program also developed methods to control the spread of the disease including pre-emptive slaughter of animals with government monetary compensation. As a result of this initiative, the United States was declared free of CSF in 1978.
