Initiation of feral swine disease surveillance (June
2008)
NWDP WDB Todd Felix (CO) coordinated with Veterinary Services
and Colorado Department of Agriculture to produce a disease sampling
protocol for feral swine in Colorado. Sampling is planned for swine
brucellosis (SB), pseudorabies (PRV) and classical swine fever (CSF),
and serum will be archived the National Swine Serum Archive in Fort
Collins, CO. These planning activities are a result of increased reports
and hunter harvest of feral swine in Colorado, and potential future
feral swine control work NWDP anticipates in the summer of 2008.
