[Aujeszky's disease: sanitation of swine herds in enzootically infected areas using labelled vaccines].
Both in the Federal Republic of Germany and in some neighbouring countries the epizootic situation of Aujeszky's disease has been unsatisfactory for a long time, especially in areas with a high pig density. New findings on vaccines with certain protein deletions have recently indicated the possibility that the disease might be eradicated even in vaccinated herds. By using labelled vaccines it seems possible to distinguish the carriers of vaccine virus antibodies from the carriers of field virus antibodies and to eliminate the animals infected with field virus, while leaving the other animals in the herd and protecting them from infection by vaccination. This procedure would also be practicable in epizootically infected areas and would be less expensive than eradicating the disease on the basis of serological tests without using vaccines. A skeleton of an eradication programme, which was discussed and agreed with scientific experts and with the Federal Laender, as well as rough estimates of costs are being presented.
