DIAGNOSIS OF VIRAL RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS
J. Carr

Abstract
Before any viral respiratory disease can be treated, or effectively controlled, the clinician needs to reach an accurate diagnosis. To this end, the problem should be looked at in five main areas - the individual pig, the group of pigs, the total herd situation, the herd history (records) and, finally, the pig buildings. This paper seeks to examine all these parameters. However, it is also concluded that, in acute outbreaks of such diseases, diagnosis can often be difficult.
