The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) August Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report reveals a within-expected RT-PCR detection for PRRSV for July. However, PRRSV detection in three states (Nebraska, Missouri, and Indiana) remains above state-specific baseline levels, with RFLP 1-4-4 L1C variant being predominantly detected in two of the three states (Nebraska and Missouri). Also, a non-expected increase of respiratory agents activity in the summer, such as a moderate increase in Influenza A virus in the RT-PCR positive detection in the wean-to-market category, and overall increased positive PCR detection for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is noted.
