August Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

August 2, 2023 — 

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

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings a collection of educational materials on the bonus page with videos explaining the details and interpretation of the charts available on the PDF reports. Also, the report includes information about the decreased PRRSV-positivity in July, falling below the expected for this period based on historical trends. For PRRSV sequences, the Lineage 1C variant is the most detected in 2023, with different RFLP patterns besides the 1-4-4. For enteric coronaviruses, PEDV and PDCoV decreased the positivity in July, which is expected for the summer period. However, regional positivity remains above the expected in Kansas (PDCoV) and Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina (PEDV). For Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the number of monthly submissions almost doubled in 2023, with an increased number of deep tracheal swabs being submitted, reflecting efforts to monitor the progress of ongoing Mhp control and elimination efforts.

In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with Dr. Thomas Petznick about the PRRSV scenario in Nebraska, enteric coronavirus biosecurity strategies, and Sapovirus epidemiology.
