October Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

October 4, 2023 — 

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

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings information about the increased positivity in the wean-to-market category of PRRSV, IAV, and on the adult/sow farm for PCV2 and MHP. Even though the increased positivity was expected for September, this finding raises an alert for increased activity in various endemic pathogens during September. At a regional level, PRRSV had increased positivity in Illinois and Ohio; PEDV in Missouri and North Carolina; and PDCoV in Kansas. For Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, most of the positive submissions came from tissue samples. Also, ISU-VDL tissue diagnosis brings Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae across the 10 most confirmed tissue diagnoses.

On the SDRS podcast, Dr. Gustavo Silva, an Assistant Professor at Iowa State, discusses the importance of disease diagnostics for production management and the cost of M. hyopneumoniae elimination.
