What is the probability of detecting a new incursion of PRRS into a PRRS-free region of Denmark within the first month?
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.
Mira Willkan, Lorraine Chapot, Angus Cameron, Søren Kjærgaard Boldsen, and Mette Fertner share the results of their study assessing how sensitive the current PRRS regional surveillance system in Denmark is and explore alternative surveillance systems. Could they detect a new PRRS introduction in less than a month?

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.
Dr. Albert Canturri and Mark Schwartz discuss “Characterizing the detection of inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae DNA in the respiratory tract of pigs”.
Postmortem Sampling in Piglet Populations for PRRS Detection
Today, we are sharing a recent publication from the MSHMP team comparing different piglet postmortem samples to detect PRRS. The article is available in open access on the Journal’s website.

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.
Today’s Science Page shows how MSHMP is keeping an eye on the PRRS variant 1H.18, as well as some clarification explaining new variant nomenclature.
