title: [The importance of different pig diseases in the Netherlands].
abstract: As part of the project 'Clean pigs', IPG Institute for Pig Genetics BV made an inventory of the impact of different diseases on the Dutch pig industry. An expert panel assessed the importance of the different diseases with regard to public health, farm economy, the pig sector and export sales. The possibilities for the diagnosis of the different pathogens were listed and the goal for the next years, was set. Diseases were classified into three categories, according to their importance for the Dutch pig industry (Table 2). The diseases that can be eradicated are Salmonella (only specific strains), Pasteurella multocida DNT + PAR), Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Haematopinus suis (lice) and Sarcoptes scabei (var. suis) (mange). National introduction of list A en most list B diseases of the OIE classification must be prevented.
