Aujeszky’s Disease in South-Italian Wild Boars (<i>Sus scrofa</i>): A Serological Survey

Aujeszky’s disease (AD, pseudorabies) is a viral disease of suids caused by Suid Herpesvirus 1 (SHV-1) also referred as Aujeszky’s disease virus (ADV) or Pseudorabies virus (ADV). Domestic pig and Wild boar (<i>Sus scrofa</i>) are the natural host, but many species can be infected with A...
