Aujeszky's disease virus is spread by horizontal transmission from infected pigs to sheep with high losses. Clinical symptoms in sheep, for example pruritus, are obvious. Infection of sheep can be avoided by strictly separating pigs and sheep. Vaccination of pigs therefore indirectly also gives good protection to other susceptible species on the farm.
