Aujeszkys disease, known as pseudorabies, is an infectious viral disease affecting various mammals, especially pigs. It is characterized by severe neurological symptoms, reproductive issues, and high mortality rates in young animals. While there are no direct synonyms for Aujeszkys disease, it is sometimes referred to as mad itch or pseudo-rabies in colloquial terms. It is important to note that these alternative names do not constitute different diseases but rather layman terms to describe the same viral infection. Adhering to strict biosecurity measures, such as vaccination and controlled animal movements, is crucial in preventing the spread and controlling the negative impacts of Aujeszkys disease.
