Aujeszky's disease is caused by a herpesvirus. The pig is the natural host and sole source of dissemination of the virus. After a primary infection, during which the pig excretes virus for 10-14 days, the virus remains latent in the host. Eradication has been achieved in individual herds, areas and countries with a low prevalence. The crucial question is whether it is feasible to eradicate the virus in heavily infected areas. Using so-called marker vaccines in conjunction with companion diagnostic test kits the virus was eliminated in individual herds. The preliminary results of extensive field studies to investigate whether intensive vaccination curtails the circulation of virus are encouraging.
奥耶斯基氏病由一种疱疹病毒引起。猪是该病毒的自然宿主和唯一传播源。初次感染期间，猪会排出病毒10 - 14天，之后病毒在宿主体内潜伏。在患病率较低的个别猪群、地区和国家已实现根除。关键问题是在重度感染地区根除该病毒是否可行。使用所谓的标记疫苗并结合配套诊断试剂盒，已在个别猪群中消灭了该病毒。关于强化疫苗接种是否能减少病毒传播的广泛现场研究的初步结果令人鼓舞。
