Abstract
The eradication of Aujeszky's disease in an enzootic infected area of North-West-Germany (Land-kreis Osnabruck) is successfully treated by a combined vaccination, check and slaughter program as described. The i mportant factors are the type of herd, herd size, pig density in the r egion and the completeness of vaccination which influence the eradicat ion are also explained. To prevent future outbreaks of Aujeszky's dise ase in an area with high pig density it is necessary to vaccinate herd s for at least two years after eradication. The importance of the furt her use of marker vaccines in a limited area around the outbreak even after stopping the area wide vaccination program is essential.
