Which of the following diseases is considered a swine vesicular disease?

The correct answer is Foot and Mouth Disease, which is classified as a swine vesicular disease. This disease primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including pigs, and is characterized by the development of vesicles (blisters) on the mouth, snout, and feet. These vesicular lesions are a hallmark of the infection, causing significant pain and distress in the animals, as well as potential economic losses in livestock production due to restrictions on movement and trade.

Foot and Mouth Disease is caused by the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV), which is highly contagious, and outbreaks can spread rapidly among herds. The disease is important not just for veterinary health, but also for public health and food security, as it can impact the availability of pork and other meat products.

Other diseases listed do not fit within the category of swine vesicular diseases. Avian Influenza primarily affects birds and is not related to swine diseases. Canine Parvovirus is specific to dogs and does not impact swine. Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) affects pigs, but it is a viral disease that leads to reproductive issues and respiratory problems, rather than the vesicular lesions seen in Foot and Mouth Disease.
