The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) NovemberDomestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report includes a bonus page about diagnostic data supporting the effective Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (MHP) control in breeding herds. SDRS reported PRRSV positivity increased in both sow farm and wean-to-finish sites. PRRSV overall positivity was above expected in Iowa, Oklahoma, Indiana, and South Dakota with Lineages L1C.5 and L1A predominantly detected. PEDV positivity started to increase at a regional level, with Iowa, Oklahoma, and Missouri beginning to have more positive cases in October. MHP continues with a high percentage of positive submissions in wean-to-finish sites. However, the advisory group reported that most submissions with MHP testing were due to elimination protocols. In the confirmed tissue diagnosis, there were alarms for increased PRRSV, influenza A virus, and Pasteurella multocida.
The SDRS podcast broadcasts a talk with Dr. Lisa Becton, Swine Health Information Center associate director, about better preparing for increased pathogen activity in the winter and efforts to eliminate endemic pathogens in the swine industry.
