väga nakkav sigade haigus, mille tekitajaks on sugukonna Flaviviridae perekonda Pestivirus kuuluv viirus
contagious, often fatal, disease of pigs clinically characterized by high body temperature, lethargy, yellowish diarrhea, vomiting, and a purple skin discoloration of the ears, lower abdomen, and legs
Sigade klassikaline katk ja sigade aafrika katk (edaspidi sigade katk) on kliinilise pildi ja surmajärgsete morfoloogiliste muutuste alusel raskesti eristatavad haigused, mistõttu diagnoos täpsustatakse alati tekitaja identifitseerimisega. Samuti rakendatakse mõlema haiguse tõrjeks ühesuguseid meetmeid.
