PART 2General

Epidemiological inquiry5

1

Where an epidemiological inquiry is required under this Order, it must try to establish at least–

a

the length of time that swine vesicular disease virus may have existed on premises;

b

the origin of that virus;

c

the identification of other premises contaminated with that virus from the same source;

d

the movement of any person or thing which could have carried that virus to or from the premises; and

e

the possibility that pigs living in the wild may be involved in the spread of that virus.

2

An epidemiological inquiry must, unless discontinued under this Order, proceed until the facts relevant to the inquiry are, so far as is practicable, established.
