Description:

The first practical preventive measure, injection of anti-hog-cholera serum and then the virus, was successfully tested in 1907 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) field station near Ames, Iowa. Secretary Bob Bergland declared the United States hog cholera free on January 31, 1978. This was 99 years after USDA began hog cholera research and 17 years after the start of a Federal-State eradication campaign. Hog cholera was first reported in the United States in 1833 in southern Ohio. By 1893, 90 separate areas of infection were known to exist. Outbreaks in 1886, 1887, and 1896 each killed more than 13 percent of the Nation's hogs and more than 10 percent died during the 19l3 outbreak. The disease was still costing producers $50 million a year in the early 1960's. USDA photo.
