abstract: Since the end of 1982 classical swine fever has again occurred in the Federal Republic of Germany. There was an increasing trend until the middle of 1984. The number of cases increased above all in the northwest of the Federal Republic, the area with a high pig density. In mid-1984 it was decided in the Federal Republic to carry out for the first time a large-scale systematic vaccination of all pigs in a certain heavily affected area--similar to what is done in the Netherlands--apart from the traditional classical measures of epizootic disease control including stamping out and quarantine; i.e. not only fattening herds (Second Regulation for the amendment of the Regulation on Classical Swine Fever of 20 June 1984--Bundesgesetzblatt I, page 766). The reasons are: in the areas with a high pig density and a high degree of infection classical measures only did no longer suffice. In addition there were trends in the EEC to bar the entire Federal Republic of Germany from exports of pigs and fresh pigmeat. Furthermore there was the danger of excluding the Federal Republic from the current EEC eradication programme, under which the Federal Republic receives considerable funds. Since it has been started to carry out systematic large-scale vaccinations of herds in infected areas in the northwest of the Federal Republic there was a clear decline in the number of new outbreaks in these areas. There are still individual cases in other regions of the Federal Republic of Germany (new outbreaks during the first half of 1984: 738 cases, the second half of 1984: 277 cases, the first half of 1985: 301 cases). Special conditions for systematic large-scale vaccination in infected areas were uniformly set up within the entire EEC. These provisions as well as other new provisions resulting from Community law were translated into national law by further amendments to the Regulation on Classical Swine Fever. Tables contain, among other things, details about pig husbandry, and the number of cases of classical swine fever in EEC member countries.
