Affected pigs on farm SVV2022-02, from study of vesicular disease caused by Seneca Valley virus in pigs, England, 2022. Vesicular lesions can be seen on the coronary bands (A-C), snout (D), and interdigital cleft (E). Hoof horn separation also occurred in some infected pigs (B). Some lesions resembled those of foot-and-mouth disease (D), but others were more deep-seated (A).
