Classical swine fever was confirmed in 10 herds in Britain between April 10 and June 25, 1986 and typical acute disease was seen in nine of them. Serological evidence of exposure to classical swine fever virus was found in a further seven herds which, together with another nine, were slaughtered as dangerous contacts. Altogether 7781 pigs in 26 herds were slaughtered at a cost of 450,101 pounds for compensation alone. In order to detect subclinical disease, the majority of traced herds were blood sampled as well as inspected. A total of 119,169 pigs were inspected in 506 herds and 8302 blood samples were collected. Three primary outbreaks were identified, all attributed to the feeding of unprocessed waste food containing imported pig meat products. There was no spread of disease from two of these primary outbreaks.

Classical swine fever is one of the most important viral diseases of pigs and a major source of loss for pig producers worldwide. The disease was eradicated from Great Britain in 1966 and, apart from a single incident in 1971, has not reappeared. A major epizootic started in Europe in 1982-83 and continued through 1984. Extra vigilance is necessary in order to detect any introduction of infection. The disease takes several forms apart from the dramatic disease described in textbooks. These include mild and chronic disease and reproductive losses of various types. Mild disease is a feature of the epizootic in Europe at present. Diagnostic methods are outlined. Diagnosis is frequently difficult and requires laboratory help. The selection and handling of specimens for the laboratory is critical to the success of diagnosis.

Sixty-one pigs were housed in an isolation unit with three compartments and five pens. Each compartment had its own ventilation system resulting in air currents flowing from compartment A (pens 1 to 3) towards compartment B (pen 4), but not towards compartment C (pen 5). Classical swine fever virus was introduced by the experimental inoculation of one pig in the middle pen (pen 2) of compartment A. The virus infected the pigs in pen 4, following the prevalent air currents, and the compartmentalisation had only a retarding effect on the transmission of the virus. The absence of infection in the pigs in pen 5, which was not different from pen 4 except for the ventilation system, indicates that the spread of virus was affected by the air currents.
