Systematic Veterinary Virology

SYMPTOMS - PIGS

• Initial signs are fever (40-40.6^ºC), anorexia, reluctance to move, and scream when forced to move. These signs are followed by vesicles on the coronary band, heals, interdigital space and on the snout.
• Mouth lesions are not too common and when they occur are smaller and of shorter duration than in cattle and tend to be a "dry"-type lesion. There is no drooling. Sows may abort. Piglets may die without showing any clinical sign.
