If you are referring to canine herpes virus, it has not been "eradicated." It is extremely common and most dogs who have been to dog shows, training classes, etc. have been exposed, unknown to us, had the sniffles, and then became immune to further exposure. There is no vaccination available in the US (it is available in Europe). Generally it does not cause problems unless a pregnant bitch is exposed in the last 3 weeks of her pregnancy (causing stillborns and absorption) or in the first 3 weeks of a litters life (when they don't have the proper body temperature to fight it off).
