    Congenital tremor (CT) syndrome in Belgian piglets was investigated. Experimental trials suggested an infectious cause, classifying it as A2 form, but the specific agent remains unidentified.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Neurology
    • Pig Neonatal Pathology
    • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Sporadic occurrence of neonatal congenital tremor (CT) syndrome in Belgian piglets.
    • Previous studies lacking detailed epidemiological and etiological investigations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a congenital tremor (CT) syndrome in neonatal piglets.
    • To present findings from an epidemiological survey on affected farms.
    • To experimentally investigate the etiology of the syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidemiological follow-up survey on farms with affected piglets.
    • Experimental inoculation of pregnant sows with brain suspension from CT piglets (intramuscular and intrauterine).
    • Histological and biochemical analyses of piglet brain tissue.

  • Serological and virological examinations.

    • Main Results:

    • Experimental inoculation partly succeeded in provoking the syndrome.
    • Histological and biochemical findings supported classification as A2 form congenital tremor.
    • Serological and virological tests failed to identify the causative agent.

    Conclusions:

    • The neonatal congenital tremor syndrome in Belgian piglets is likely infectious and classifiable as A2 form.
    • The specific infectious agent responsible for this congenital tremor syndrome could not be identified despite investigations.
