Classical Swine Fever in Mizoram carries PRRS

[Pat Gardiner]

Pat's Note: Interesting report mirroring the situation in Britain in
2000, where we know that CSF was not the only virus circulating at the
same time. Circovirus was certainly present in the same herds and
probably PRRS too, also FMD if the frequent reports of it being in
Britain much earlier are to believed.

I did not believe them then, I do now.

Classical Swine Fever in Mizoram carries PRRS
By MIZONEWS.NET | June 5, 2013 |

Aizawl (Mizonews.Net): The Classical Swine Fever spreading in Mizoram
in March and April this year was accompanied by Porcine Reproductive
and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS).

According to AH & Vety Department sources the blood sample sent to
ICAR Research Complex in Barapani and Selesih College of Veterinary
Science proved that Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome was
also seen in the blood samples.

The department also said the virus Artery-virus was first diagnosed in
USA in 1987 and it spread later to South Asian countries including
Myanmar.

The department also informed the people that ban on import of pigs and
piglets from Myanmar will be necessary for prevention of spread of the
disease.
