Sažetak
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease that infects domestic pigs and wild boars worldwide. The prompt laboratory detection is of crucial importance in confining the viral spread. The CSF control policy together with diagnostic procedures in the Republic of Croatia is completely in compliance with EU regulations since 10 years ago. Croatia has stopped vaccinating domestic pigs against CSF at the beginning of 2005, which was followed by CSF outbreaks in domestic pigs and wild boars in the following years with the last outbreak being detected in March 2008. Since then, the strict measures regulated by two Ordinances and two National surveillance programs, have resulted in the absence of virus. Until today, only limited number of CSF antibody positive domestic pigs and wild boars has been detected, with decreasing trend. All positives were restricted to several Counties neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. The presentation will give an emphasis on the activities of the National Reference Laboratory for CSF at Croatian Veterinary Institute in the implementation of two National surveillance programs during the past three years.
