Abstract |
Periodic (4-monthly) surveillance of pig herds for antibodies against swine vesicular disease (SVD) is obligatory in the Netherlands since 1993. Samples should be collected "at random' in as many compartments as possible, with a maximum of one pig per pen. This prerequisite for a sensitive surveillance will be elucidated using four examples of SVD outbreaks in the Netherlands.
