The General Assembly recognizes that pseudorabies is a serious disease in the swine industry and that the disease can be transmitted to other domestic animals.
     It further recognizes that the disease can have a severe economic and psychological impact on the affected swine owner and that additional costs are incurred, both by the swine industry and state government, for surveillance and control measures.

Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 510 ILCS 90/1.1

  • State: when applied to different parts of the United States, may be construed to include the District of Columbia and the several territories, and the words "United States" may be construed to include the said district and territories. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 5 ILCS 70/1.14

     Therefore, a program aimed at controlling the spread of pseudorabies, reducing the economic losses associated with the disease, reducing the risk of reinfecting swine herds where the infection has been eliminated, licensing of pseudorabies vaccines, and recognizing pseudorabies low prevalence or free areas is necessary and will ultimately benefit swine producers and consumers alike by lowering production costs.
