A virus was isolated from California sea lions (Zalophus californianus californianus) and northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) in 1972. It was later named San Miguel sea lion virus (SMSV). State and federal livestock disease control agencies became concerned, because SMSV was found to be indistinguishable from vesicular exanthema of swine virus and to cause (in laboratory trials) clinical signs in swine similar to those produced by vesicular exanthema of swine virus. Ground carcasses of northern fur seals, salvaged after harvesting pelts, are fed to mink on ranches in the United States. Domestic swine are kept on some of these same ranches. Samples withheld from lots of this seal carcass mink food were found to contain SMSV (serotype 5) in titers of 10(6.1) and 10(6.8) tissue culture infective doses.
1972年，一种病毒从加利福尼亚海狮（加州海狮指名亚种）和北海狗中分离出来。它后来被命名为圣米格尔海狮病毒（SMSV）。州和联邦家畜疾病控制机构对此表示担忧，因为发现SMSV与猪水疱性疹病毒无法区分，并且（在实验室试验中）会在猪身上引起与猪水疱性疹病毒产生的临床症状相似的症状。在美国，收获兽皮后打捞上来的北海狗尸体被喂给牧场里的水貂。一些相同的牧场也饲养家猪。从这批海豹尸体水貂饲料批次中留存的样本被发现含有滴度为10(6.1)和10(6.8)组织培养感染剂量的SMSV（血清型5）。
