Best of Leman 2021: Liz Wagstrom – Novel AMR patterns in Salmonella

This is our most popular series on the blog. Once a month, we are sharing with you a presentation given at the Allen D. Leman swine conference, on topics that the swine group found interesting, innovative or that lead to great discussions.

You can find all of the presentations selected from previous conferences on the blog here.

This month we learn about novel antimicrobial resistance patterns in Salmonella from Dr. Liz Wagstrom (National Pork Producers Council).

PRRS 2021-2022 Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) by State

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

This week we take a look at PRRS EWMA patterns in Iowa, North Carolina, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Illinois, thanks to research done by Mariana Kikuti, Emily Geary, Paulo Fioravante, Marcello Melini, Miranda Medrano, Cesar Corzo.

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota has secured $500,000 to study how new influenza virus strains emerge, persist, and spread in pig populations—and what age, well-being, farm-production type, and epidemiological factors might help predict whether a new virus strain emerges.

What are PRRS lineages?

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Following up from last week’s article, Igor Paploski, Mariana Kikuti and Cesar Corzo dig into what PRRS linages are and give background on Lineage 1, and the sublineages that further classify the virus.
