Title:
Isolation of Aujeszky’s disease virus from two hunting dogs in Belgium after hunting wild boars
Abstract:
This article contains two separate case reports of the isolation of Aujeszky’s disease virus (ADV) from ahunting dog. Each of the two dogs developed neurological symptoms and died of ADV within five days afterhunting on wild boars in the Ardennes. Because ADV has been eradicated in the domesticated pig population,it was hypothesized that wild boars infected with ADV were the source, since one of the dogs was fed with theintestines of shot wild boars, and the other was fed with the intestines and other organs.
