Etiology
Host
Porcine herpesvirus1
Primary Host- swine
Diverse range of secondary hosts
Pseudorabies transmission in Primary Host
Recovered pigs and rats act as resivours
Virus shed in saliva, nasal discharge, and milk of infected pigs
Biting,licking,aerosol, ingestion of contaminated carcass, water/feed
Pseduorabies transmission in Seconday Host
Dogs and cats- ingestion of infected pig/rat
Cattle- direct contact with infected pigs, oral/nasal routes
