Swine Vesicular Disease
Swine Vesicular Disease is a viral infection that primarily affects pigs. It is caused by the Swine Vesicular Disease Virus, which belongs to the family of viruses known as Picornaviridae. The disease is characterized by the formation of vesicles, or blisters, on the snouts and feet of infected animals, leading to lameness and discomfort.
Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. While the disease is not harmful to humans, it can cause significant economic losses in the pig farming industry. Control measures include strict biosecurity practices and monitoring of pig populations for symptoms.
