Italy reports cases of Aujeszky's disease in wild boar and dogs

In the last ten days at least six dogs have died from Aujeszky's disease in the provinces of Forlì, Cesena and Rimini.

Since December 2019, several hunting dogs have died from Aujeszky's disease in Emilia Romagna. The animals contracted the disease by feeding on the remains of wild boar carcasses.

By early December, 49 wild boars had tested positive for antibodies to the disease and in November 2019, wild boars were also found positive for the virus in Grosseto province.
