Celebrating the 100th SHIC Global Swine Disease Monitoring Report in April!
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.

This recent article published in Nature Scientific reports by the Torremorell lab describes the size of particles shedding by pigs experimentally infected by H1N1 influenza A virus, as well as their associated viral load.
