Question Pseudorabies

anyone down south have any info on this Pseudorabies virus being in pigs

i stopped hunting with dogs a wile back when there was a saposid outbreak in some local wma's

i can only find old posts (like 2008) about it does anyone have any info?

is it still around? and how do dogs get it does the dog have to draw blood from the pig or the pig break skin on the dog or is it threw direct contact or what.

all i could find is that if a dog does get it it can kill it in a day or two but i never knew anyone that had a dog that got it.

Although the word "pseudorabies" means "false rabies," or "rabies-like," it is a misnomer. Pseudorabies is related to the herpes virus, not the rabies virus.

What you have to worry about is Trichina when cleaning and cooking...

Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork or wild game infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm.
