title: [The battle against Aujeszky's disease with the help of country-wide vaccination and the elimination of infected swine. III. Eradication of Aujeszky's disease in infected swine herds with the example of restoration proceedings in the area of Osnabrück/Lower Saxony].
abstract: The eradication of Aujeszky's disease in an enzootic infected area of North-West-Germany (Landkreis Osnabrück) is successfully treated by a combined vaccination, check and slaughter program as described. The important factors are the type of herd, herd size, pig density in the region and the completeness of vaccination which influence the eradication are also explained. To prevent future outbreaks of Aujeszky's disease in an area with high pig density it is necessary to vaccinate herds for at least two years after eradication. The importance of the further use of marker vaccines in a limited area around the outbreak even after stopping the area wide vaccination program is essential.
