The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) October Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report includes a survey which asks for your input on the SDRS Strategic Plan. SDRS reports increased PRRSV activity in Iowa, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. The overall PEDV percent case positivity remains low at 4%. However, there is an increase in finishing sites’ PEDV percent case positivity in Kansas above expected levels. For the third consecutive month, an increase in the percent positive case submissions for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in wean-to-finish sites was reported. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae positivity remains steady from the previous month in sow farms, with 12% positive case submissions reported. An increase in case positivity for influenza A virus, mainly in the finishing sites, was noted with the advisory group highlighting that growing animals close to market were more affected.
The podcast broadcasts a talk with Dr. Janice Zanella (Embrapa Swine and Poultry, Brazil) about the global scenario of the influenza A virus, the importance of influenza A virus in the swine industry and its public health issues, and finally, strategies for controlling IAV in the farms.
