Abstract
BETWEEN 1932 and 1954 there were repeated outbreaks of vesicular exanthema of swine (VES) in Californian swine herds, but since 1956 no cases have occurred in the United States and this has been attributed to a federal law which prohibited the feeding of raw garbage to swine1. The continuing importance of vesicular diseases of swine, however, is suggested by reports from Italy2, Hong Kong3, Austria, Poland and Britain (personal communication from A. H. Dariri, Plum Island Animal Disease Laboratory, 1973) of a vesicular syndrome in swine that could not be ascribed to foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV).
