Abstract
Modern-day biotechnology has an almost unlimited number of possibiliti es for reducing the impact of hereditary and infectious diseases. To d ate one of its most visible and rewarding applications for veterinary medicine has been in the genetic engineering of vaccines and diagnosti cs to assist in the eventual eradication of pseudorabies (PR, Aujeszky 's disease). In the following review we summarize some of the most per tinent issues relative to PR eradication and point out the present and potential role of biotechnology in achieving our goal.
