Monitoring the detection of PRRSV variant 1H.18

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.

MSHMP researchers Xiaomei Yue, Mariana Kikuti, Marcello Melini, Sarah Vadnais, and Cesar A. Corzo share the results of their pilot study characterizing the current use of oral fluid sampling in US pig production systems.

PRRS monitoring by processing fluids in Italian swine breeding farms

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.

In this week’s Science Page, researchers Matteo Tonni, Claudia Romeo, Nicoletta Formenti, M. Beatrice Boniotti, Flavia Guarneri, Livio Colosio, Simone Andreoni, Federico Scali, Paolo Pasquali and G. Loris Alborali share their findings from monitoring Italian breeding herds.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome prevalence and processing fluids use for diagnosis in United States breeding herds

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.

In this Science Page we look at research conducted by Mariana Kikuti, Carles Vilalta, Juan Sanhueza, Claudio Marcello Melini, and Cesar Corzo from the MSHMP team. They look at PRRS prevalence and how the use of processing fluids can help diagnose the disease.

Tongue tip fluid (TTF): A welfare friendly directed population-based monitoring technique

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.

This week’s science page looks at the collect of tongue tip fluid as a monitoring technique for PRRSv, thanks to researchers Jordi Baliellas, Elena Novell, Enric Vicens Tarancón, Lorenzo Fraile and Carles Vilalta.
