| Pseudorabies virus infection, which causes Aujeszky's Disease, occurs in many species. In adult swine |
 |
| the disease symptoms are mild and the mortality is low. However, in other animals the disease is fatal. |
| |
| Swine are the primary host of pseudorabies virus where it remains in a latent state residing quiescently |
| in the trigeminal ganglion. Upon stimulation the virus produces an active infection. Although clinical |
| illness may not be seen in swine after recrudescence, the virus may be shed by these animals. |
| Therefore, any animal that has contracted a primary infection with pseudorabies virus must be |
| considered a potential source for transmission of infectious virus. |
| |
| The manual and semi-automated test kits provide a simple, rapid, qualitative method to detect IgG or IgM |
| antibodies against pseudorabies virus in swine serum or plasma. |
