January Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

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

This month's Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings the 2023 highlights, including the major findings regarding the swine pathogens monitored in the project. Also, the report brings information about the spike in the PRRSV positivity in the wean-to-market category, completing the fourth month of increased positivity. At a regional level, PRRSV overall positivity continues above expected in Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio. For enteric coronaviruses, PEDV positivity increased in all age categories, raising the alarm for upcoming months. At a regional level, PEDV's overall percentage of positive submissions is above the expected in Missouri and North Carolina. For Influenza A virus and PCV2, overall positivity remains similar as in November, with over 40% and 33% of positive submissions, respectively. Even though there were a few cases, there were signals for an increased number of Trueperella pyogenes, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, and PEDV confirmed tissue diagnoses at Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab.

In the podcast, the SDRS hosts discussed the highlights of 2023, going through the major findings of each pathogen monitored by the project.
