Abstract |
The first outbreak of Aujeszky's disease(AD) was identified from piggery located at the southern part of Korea in July, 1987. This piggery suffered from a significant economic loss caused by unexpected piglet mortality and reproductive failure. Etiologic viral agents were isolated from tonsil and spleen of the infected piglets, and the isolates produced a typical cytopathic effects of herpesvirus with giant cell formation when inoculated in many different cells. Subsequently the field isolates were characterized as suid herpesvirus I by cross-neutralization test and indirect fluorescence assay utilizing specific monoclonal antibody, and were proved to be a pathogenic strain of AD virus(ADV). |
