The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) June Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings information about the PRRSV positivity remaining at high levels in the wean-to-market category, with 41% of submissions being positive. Also, at a state-level monitoring, the overall PRRSV positivity was above the expected in Iowa, South Dakota, and Indiana. For enteric coronaviruses, PEDV and PDCoV positivity continued to decrease as expected for the beginning of the summer, with PEDV having 10% and PDCoV having 3% positive submissions. However, in the state-level monitoring, the overall positivity continues above the expected for PEDV in Kansas and for PDCoV in Minnesota. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was above the expected in the weekly monitoring, with the weeks of May 6 and May 13 increasing positivity, driven mainly by sow farm submissions. The advisory group highlighted the presence of more co-infections in the field with PRRS, mainly bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida, Glaesserella parasuis, and Streptococcus suis. At the ISU-VDL, PRRSV, Streptococcus suis, Influenza A virus, Pasteurella multocida, and Glaesserella parasuis are the top five pathogens diagnosed in submitted tissue cases and also show this pattern of co-diagnosis.
The podcast hosts talked with Dr. Luc Dufresene (Demeter Quebec and Swine Veterinary Partners) about regional biosecurity for control & prevention of pathogen spread; tips and tricks for PEDV elimination initiatives; success stories of regional elimination of PEDV and PRRSV L1C.5; and implications of PRRSV diversity.
