Classical Swine Fever

Classical swine fever (CSF) or hog cholera is a highly contagious disease of pigs and wild boar. It causes fever, skin lesions, convulsions and usually (particularly in young animals) death within 15 days. The symptoms are indistinguishable from those of African swine fever. The disease is endemic in much of Asia, Central and South America, and parts of Europe and Africa. It was eradicated in the USA by 1978, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. It was believed to have been eradicated in the United Kingdom by 1966 (according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), but an outbreak occurred in East Anglia in 2000. It is caused by a virus of the genus Pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae (or Togaviridae http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/health/3945.html).
