title: Immunohistological demonstration of spread of Aujeszky's disease virus via the olfactory pathway in HPCD pigs.
abstract: The spread of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) from nasal mucosa via the olfactory pathway was studied in HPCD pigs. ADV antigen was detected in the epithelial cells, nasal gland cells, olfactory nerve cells and peripheral nerve fibres in the nasal cavity and in neuroglial cells in the olfactory bulb. Results indicate that the olfactory pathway is one of the most important neuronal pathways of ADV infection in pigs.
