May Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

May 6, 2022 — 

The Swine Health Information Center's (SHIC) May Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings onboard porcine circovirus type 2 virus DNA detection by qPCR data from all five participating veterinary diagnostic laboratories with a historical summary highlighted on the SDRS bonus page. There was increased activity of PRRSV in some particular regions, i.e., Missouri and Nebraska. The activity of PEDV is still above expected levels since the end of January, with increased activity in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and North Carolina. In the podcast, SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Dustin Oedekoven, chief veterinarian at the National Pork Board and current president of the United States Animal Health Association, about FAD preparedness, the importance of collaboration between regulatory and industry organizations, and the application of tools for controlling/monitoring endemic pathogens.
