Suid herpesvirus 1 (syn. Pseudorabies virus ) is an Alphaherpesvirus and the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease or pseudorabies. This illness is OIE listed and notifiable. It has been eradicated from home pigs in North America, New Zealand, and a few nations in Europe. However, it stays an essential disease in domestic pigs in other areas of the world and is a illness for which wild boars are thought-about reservoir hosts. Multiple genotypes are present in wild boar populations, some of which counsel transmission from domestic or feral pigs whereas others are distinct from strains found in home pigs inhabiting the same geographic region.
