A new wave of Seneca Valley virus outbreaks in Brazil.

Seneca Valley virus (SVV) is the etiological agent of an acute, self-limiting vesicular disease in pigs characterized by the presence of fluid-filled and/or ruptured vesicles on the snout, lips, and/or hooves (Leme et al., 2015; Joshi et al., 2016), specifically on the coronary bands and/or the interdigital space (Montiel et al., 2016). SVV-associated vesicular disease in pigs closely resembles important viral vesicular infections, including foot-and-mouth disease (Leme et al., 2017). This article is protected by copyright.
