The UK Chief Veterinary Officer has confirmed that the five cases of vesicular disease in pigs identified in farms in England between June and September 2022 were Seneca Valley Virus (SVV). This is the first reported case of SVV in Europe.

SVV is not a notifiable or reportable disease in the UK nor a listed disease by the World Organisation of Animal Health (WOAH). However, the clinical signs however do resemble notifiable vesicular diseases, in particular Foot-and-Mouth Disease. The UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is therefore calling on pig producers and vets to continue to promptly report any clinical signs of vesicular disease in pigs so that the Animal Plant Health Agency (APHA) can carry out an official investigation.
