The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) August Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available. This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report shows a moderate decrease on the overall detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and the PRRSV RFLP 1-4-4 L1C variant strain. As expected by the forecasting models, there was lowering in the detection of enteric coronaviruses and a moderate increase in the detection of M. hyopneumoniae by PCR. There were also signals on the disease diagnosis for Mhp, based on diagnostic codes assigned by veterinary diagnosticians. Signals were also observed E. coli and salmonellas diagnosis. In the podcast, Drs. Trevisan, Magalhaes, and Linhares talk about PRRSV surveillance, management, control, and how to intervene to improve animal health.
