Which vesicular disease is specifically associated with swine?

Recognizing host association among vesicular diseases helps distinguish them. Swine Vesicular Disease is the one vesicular disease most specifically tied to pigs; it is named for swine and classically seen in pigs, with lesions on the mouth and feet. This contrasts with Foot-and-Mouth Disease, which affects many cloven-hoofed species; Vesicular Stomatitis can involve cattle, horses, and pigs; and Vesicular Exanthema of Swine was a swine disease that has been eradicated in many regions. So, the disease most specifically linked to swine is Swine Vesicular Disease.
