Abstract

A survey on procine eperythrozoonosis was conducted by the blood smear examinations and the animal inoculation tests with heparinized blood samples collected from slaughtered pig. The results obtained were as follows : 1. In the microscopic examination of the blood smears, 2(0.43%) of 455 slaughtered pigs in Seoul were infected with eperythrozoa, while none of 45 blood samples in Jeonbuk province was infected. The average infection rate of these areas was 0.4%. 2. In the animal inoculation tests, the eperythrozoa were detected in the splenectomized pigs 6 days after subcutaneous inoculation of the blood samples obtained from 100 pigs in Seoul, and the positive rate of slaughtered pigs was at least more than 1%.
