Pigs are either directly or indirectly the source of infection with Herpes virus suis in dogs and cats. On oral or oronasal infection, the virus is spread by way of the cranial nerves to the central nervous system. The incubation period is short: from one to six days. The disease is mainly characterised by nervous disorders. Pruritus is a characteristic clinical sign but is not present in every case. Mortality in dogs and cats is a hundred per cent. In rural areas, infection is caused by consumption of uncooked pork or offal from pigs. Prevention is possible by avoiding exposure to pigs or fresh pig products. It is possible to vaccinate dogs and cats with an inactivated vaccine. Results of vaccination studies show some variation, however.
猪直接或间接成为犬猫感染猪疱疹病毒的传染源。经口腔或口鼻感染后，病毒通过颅神经传播至中枢神经系统。潜伏期很短：1至6天。该病主要以神经紊乱为特征。瘙痒是其典型临床症状，但并非每个病例都有。犬猫的死亡率为百分之百。在农村地区，感染是由于食用了未煮熟的猪肉或猪内脏。通过避免接触猪或新鲜猪产品可实现预防。给犬猫接种灭活疫苗是可行的。然而，疫苗接种研究的结果存在一些差异。
