Description

The aim of this paper was to evaluate current epidemiological situation concerning occurrence of Aujeszky′s disease (AD) outbreak in large swine farms in Vojvodina Province. The material for this research included the samples from five swine farms, where certain disorders and health problems in suckling pigletsi.e. clinical signs suggesting AD were detected. Depending on the specificity of each evaluated case and available material, the applied research methods included: epidemiological and anamnestical evaluation, clinical investigation, gross pathological examination, standard bacteriological examination for detection the presence of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the organs and tissue samples (lungs, tonsils, lympho nodes, spleen, cerebral tissue) derived from diseased, died pigs.Viral isolation on the susceptible cell culture and molecular diagnostic method (RT-PCR) were applied.Also, the material for the investigation included 300 blood samples collected from breeding animals, in order to evaluate the presence of specific antibodies against AD virus. The achieved results suggest that swine population in AP Vojvodina province is enzootically infected with AD virus. Besides vaccination, which represents one of the measure in AD eradication, it is necessary to apply strict trade control and checking the health status of herds from where breeding animals are purchased.
