PEDV Update – December 31, 2014

December 31, 2014 — 

Number of New Cases Reported -- Weekly aggregate update of new cases. USDA Veterinary Services is now publishing the weekly report which not only includes the weekly accession information you are used to seeing but also additional data derived from the premises information collected as a result of the June 5, 2014 Federal Order. The accession information, as always, reports the number of positive cases tested at the veterinary diagnostic labs that week. The premises data, however, reports the number of positive and presumptive positive cases entered into the USDA's Emergency Management Response Services (EMRS) database. Therefore, the data contained in the accession and premises charts may not represent samples submitted to the diagnostic labs on the same week. Also, this report will only contain data collected since June 5th. USDA maintains all historic data on their SECD website at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal-health/secd. For the week ending 12/27/14, the report indicates there were 50 positive accessions from the 457 submissions. In addition, there were 22 and 8 confirmed and presumptive positive premises (respectively) entered into EMRS. There are currently 33 states with at least one confirmed positive case of PEDV. The report also includes information on cases submitted for porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) as well. Last updated: 12/31/14 for the week of 12/21/14. [Cumulative graph]
