Dr. Talita Resende, Assistant Professor and Food Animal Diagnostician at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, explains how sapovirus affects suckling and weaned pigs with diarrhea. She discusses PCR interpretation, rotavirus and E. coli coinfections, intestinal sampling, and in situ hybridization for clearer diagnostic decisions.

Drs. Mariana Kikuti and Megan Nickel discuss “Less Invasive Sampling Methods for PRRSV Detection in Swine: Dry Blood Spots, Oral Swabs, and Tonsil Oral Scrubbing in Intentionally Exposed Gilts”
The Swine Disease Eradication Center is proud to present another episode of “Processing the Litter-ature”: a podcast in which peer-reviewed papers are docked, clipped and supplemented with a field perspective.
Drs. Mariana Kikuti and Megan Nickel discuss “Less Invasive Sampling Methods for PRRSV Detection in Swine: Dry Blood Spots, Oral Swabs, and Tonsil Oral Scrubbing in Intentionally Exposed Gilts” with guest host Mark Schwartz.
“Stronger Biosecurity with Viability PCR” a podcast with Dr. Declan Schroeder
UMN Swine Group member Dr. Declan Schroeder was recently on Swine It podcast to explains how viability PCR improves virus detection in swine systems. He discusses how this molecular approach distinguishes intact virus particles from residual genetic material, helping evaluate biosecurity risks, feed contamination, and mitigation strategies. Dr. Schroeder also highlights how the method supports better decision-making in disease prevention.
Dr. Declan Schroeder is a Professor of Virology in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on molecular virology, genomics, and virus detection across animal and environmental systems, including swine health challenges such as PRRSV, PEDV, and influenza. His work explores advanced diagnostic tools that improve virus detection and biosecurity decision-making in production systems.

“Inside PRRSV: Close to Real-Time Variant Tracking” a podcast with Dr. Mariana Kikuti
Looking to learn something new this weekend? Check out this new podcast featuring the UMN Swine Group’s very own Dr. Mariana Kikuti!
Dr. Mariana Kikuti, Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, explains how PRRSV variant classification is structured and how it supports more effective monitoring of disease outbreaks in swine herds. She shares how lineage and variant tracking improve virus identification and situational awareness. Discover how real-time data enables smarter decision-making in swine health.
