In 2021, the AASV Foundation granted $25,111 to Dr Guilherme Milanez Preis and co-investigator Dr Cesar Corzo from the University of Minnesota to fund the proposal, "Assessing Senecavirus A shedding and transmission in growing pig populations." The project is complete, and the final report is available.
The two objectives of the study were to describe SVA shedding patterns over time in growing pig populations and assess the state of infection in piglets after comingling in the nursery. This project was expected to expand current knowledge on the epidemiology of SVA, especially during the grow-finishing phases, and be key to enabling swine veterinarians to build the next steps toward controlling and eliminating SVA.
