Abstract
Hog cholera (HC) viruses newly isolated in Japan in 1980 and 1981 were examined for pathogenicity and serological properties by the neutralization test with antisera against bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease (BVD . MD) and HC viruses. Five of 23 isolates examined were neutralized poorly by BVD . MD antibody, but well by HC antibody. On the contrary, 15 isolates were neutralized readily and two isolates moderately by BVD . MD antibody. The other one reacted poorly with either HC or BVD . MD antibodies. The isolate neutralized poorly by BVD . MD antibody was more highly pathogenic than those neutralized readily. It was concluded that the antigenic properties and pathogenicity of the HC viruses were not monotype , and that HC viruses varying in antigenicity and pathogenicity were present in the field.
