The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) March Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report fully brings onboard the Ohio Animal Disease and Diagnostic Laboratory PCR data. There was increased activity of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in some particular regions during February. More intense activity of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has been detected, with levels of detection being above expected throughout February. The SDRS bonus page brings results of a PRRSV L1C variant virulence study experiment. In the podcast, the SDRS hosts talk with SDRS VDL champions, Drs. Main, Matias-Ferreyra, Prarat, Pillatzki, and Torrison, about their perspective and vision on the major contributions of the SDRS collaborative effort to help swine stakeholders make informed decisions to improve animal health and protect the national food sovereignty.
