Classical swine fever in wild boar in the Lombardy region of Italy from 1997 to 2000
Vet Record 2003 152: 4361-465
The Northern province of Varese in Italy (Lombardy) was faced with a CSF outbreak which was initially started when a wild boar was found positive in May 1997. It was then limited to one hunting area. An action and surveillance plan was immediately implemented and it was thought that the first epidemic would be self-limiting and extinguish naturally. However, the disease spread over neighbouring hunting grounds and even into a neighbouring canton in Switzerland. Domestic pigs in the first infected zone were also contaminated. The outbreak ended in February 2000 and the decisive measures taken to effectively fight CSF were a total ban on hunting (all species included) with dogs and an attempt at culling young susceptible animals in order to safeguard the old immune population.
