Today we are sharing a recent publication from the MSHMP team in collaboration with the VanderWaal and Schroeder’s labs. The objective of the study was to assess the diversity of PRRS genomes within a cohort of naïve pigs undergoing a PRRS outbreak. The full paper is available online in open access.

Review of MSHMP PRRS Chart 2 ‐ Prevalence
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.

• Since 2013, the proportion of farms that vaccinate (2vx) and that use field virus (2fvi) has not changed dramatically.
• The cyclical pattern of farms in status 1 observed early in the project is slowly disappearing after 2018.

Here is a quick snapshot of the amazing talks that will be happening this year at the Allen D. Leman swine conference. We hope to see you there!
Best of Leman 2022: Paul Yeske – Recirculation of M. hyopneumoniae in previously immune animals
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.
The 2023 Allen D. Leman swine conference is less than a month away. Register here!
