Survey of veterinary practitioners on PMWS and PDNS in the UK.
Veterinary Record, 2003, Volume 153, 400-403
BO98411
Data about the levels and duration of mortality in PMWS or PDNS-affected herds are reported. While the "French plan", described by Madec and others (1999) and aiming at reducing the impact of PMWS through improvement of hygiene and health, significantly reduced the mortality before the outbreak, it had no significant beneficial effect on the level and duration of mortality associated with PMWS and PDNS. Even if this survey was conducted in a limited number of farms not selected at random, the results indicate that PMWS and PDNS are widespread in England.
