Latency of pseudorabies virus (PRV) was established in 8 of 9 pigs born to 2 vaccinated sows. Pigs had high, low, or no maternal antibody titers at the time of the initial inoculation. At postinoculation months 3 to 4, latent PRV could be reactivated in vivo by the administration of large doses of corticosteroids. In most pigs, the stress-simulating treatment resulted in recrudescence of virus shedding after lag periods of 4 to 11 days. In 3 pigs, virus shedding was without clinical signs of disease, whereas clinical signs that developed in 4 pigs appeared to be due to the corticosteroid treatment, rather than to the reactivation of PRV. Pigs with a log10 neutralizing antibody titer of less than or equal to 2.55 at the onset of corticosteroid treatment had a booster response. Reactivated PRV spread to sentinel pigs housed with the inoculated pigs. Reactivation of PRV was also demonstrated in vitro. Explant cultures of trigeminal ganglia from pigs killed between postinoculation months 4 to 5 produced infectious virus. Restriction endonuclease analysis indicated that the reactivated PRV was indistinguishable from virus isolated shortly after the primary infection. Seemingly, pigs with maternal antibodies can become latently infected and therefore may be regarded as potential sources of dissemination of PRV.
