The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) December Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.
This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report brings information about a turning point in the case positivity of PRRSV with a moderate decrease in detection for the wean-to-market category (42% in December compared with 46% in November). The positivity was mainly driven by the PRRSV lineage 1C.5, which represented over 50% of all wild-type detections in 2024. PEDV, PDCoV, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, and influenza A positivity ended the year following the overall expected detection curve but with above-forecasted detection levels for some state-specific baselines. In the confirmed tissue diagnoses, there were alarms for increased PRRSV, Streptococcus suis, Pasteurella multocida as the three most frequent diagnoses in November and December.
The podcast presented by Dr. Guilherme Cezar, SDRS Coordinator, provides a review of 2024 pathogen activity and SDRS project implementations.
