Pig sera from Danish breeding centres were examined for occurrence of antibodies to swine vesicular disease virus using the counter immunoelectrophoresis test (CIET) and the serum neutralization test (SNT). Nine hundred and ten serum samples from 28 breeding centres were tested using the SNT and the CIET in parallel, whereas in a survey of 2052 samples from 218 herds the CIET was used for initial screening. CIET positive samples were subsequently assayed by the SNT. It was concluded that of the 2962 samples tested none had significant content of specific antibody to swine vesicular disease virus, although cross reacting antibody could be demonstrated in some cases
