The first Global Disease Monitoring Report (GDMR) was published in November 2017 to provide US pork producers with a clear overview of the global situation of transboundary swine diseases and support informed decision-making.
At the time, access to reliable and timely information was a major challenge as many outbreak reports were scattered across local-language sources, difficult to locate, time-consuming to verify, and often delayed or limited in detail in official reporting systems such as WOAH.

Today, we are sharing a very recent publication from Dr. Mariana Kikuti in collaboration with the MSHMP team. Their project looked at the sensitivity of blood-soaked filter papers, blood-soaked swabs, oral swabs and tonsil oral scrubbings when compared to serum samples to detect PRRSV. The full manuscript is available in open-access on the journal’s website.

Today, we are sharing a recent publication from Dr. Vannucci lab in the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. This project evaluated the pig’s response to a co-infection with Lawsonia intracellularis and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae after receiving an ileitis vaccine. The full manuscript is available in open access on the journal website.
