Texas Animal Health Commis-
sion has changed its attack on hog
cholera in Texas by de-emphasiz-
ing the cure which has turned out
to be a cause of the disease.
Commission has been depending
on the modified live-virus vaccine
to combat the disease. But sta-
tistics show that, in 1967, 31 per
cent of the hog cholera cases were
traced back to the use of the MLV.
In 60 per cent of those cases, the
vaccine was improperly used. But
in the other 40 per cent, it was not.
Texas statistics showed that 33
per cent of the cases were caused
by use of the MLV.
So, the Commission approved a
tion takes over in January. Oliver,
