Hog Cholera Virus
A Tricky Travel'r
Accusing fingers have been
pointed to everything from buz
zards to wagon wheels as spread
ers of hog cholera, but nobody yet
knows the whole story of how this
tricky and deadly disease travels
around.

American Veterinary Medical As

sas City, Mo„ said that over 70
years of study has brought to
light many Important facts about,
hog chplera and that the means
by which this disease could he
eradicated are now known
But investigators who have at
tempted to trace its spread from
one place to another have often
ended up in a dizzy whirl, he said.
It was once thought that farm
pigeons had a lot to do with
spreading it. Dr. Quin said, hut
controlled experiments have dis
proved that belief.
He explained that the hog chol
era virus can live in unbuired
carcasses for months during cold
weather but that it is destroyed
in a matter of hours or days in
decomposing carsasses during hot
weather.
There is evidence that flies,
crows, buzzards, roving dogs, the
hoofs of horses, wagon wheels,
trucks, and even the shoes of
