Abstract

A great number of vaccines against hog cholera (HC) have been reported and used in the control of the disease. Two major types of vaccines are the inactivated and the attenuated live virus vaccines. In the past, inactivated virus vaccines were widely used but their low efficacy contributed to the development of live virus vaccines which are known to be more effective. However, the live virus vaccines were constantly reproached on account of their lack of safety. Advances over the last 20 years in our knowledge of hog cholera virus (HCV) and the immunology of the swine species has created a new basis for the development of several live virus vaccines. These are now considered as being effective and totally safe.
