Pseudorabies = ziekte van Aujeszky.
Q: How many States are pseudorabies free?
A: Currently, all 50 States are considered free of PRV in commercial production swine herds. Commercial swine herds are defined as those herds which have adequate measures in place to prevent contact and potential infection from feral and transitional production swine which are known potential carriers of the PRV virus.
Q: How is a herd determined to be pseudorabies infected?
A: A pseudorabies-infected herd contains animals that have tested positive serologically or have had the virus isolated in an official test conducted by an approved laboratory.
Q: How many herds are still infected with the virus and in what States?
A: No commercial production herds have been found to be infected with PRV since early 2003. Sporadic infections have been found in transitional production herds, those swine which are captured feral swine, or have the potential to come in contact with feral swine. Any infected transitional herds have been promptly depopulated when found, and intense epidemiological investigations have been conducted to ascertain that no viral spread to commercial production swine has occurred.

Maar je zou de vraag eventueel ook andersom kunnen stellen, namelijk waarom ze in de USA het risico wel lopen dit rauw aan hun hond te voeren. Kennelijk vertrouwen ze er wel op dat het wel los loopt. En waarschijnlijk loopt het ook wel los. Hier in NL waarschijnlijk ook. De vraag is alleen of onze omringende landen volledig Aujeszky-vrij is. En waar het lappie varkensvlees vandaan komt dat jij aan je hond wilt voeren. Hoe dan ook, aangezien de ziekte van Aujeszky onherroepelijk een dooie hond betekent, zou ik het risico niet durven lopen.
