Porcine Deltacoronavirus in MSHMP sow 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.

Today, Dr. Kikuti and other members of the MSHMP team from the University of Minnesota share the Porcine Deltacoronavirus cases reported on MSHMP participant sow farms from January 2015 to the present.

Key Points

Porcine Deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is still present in sow herds since it was first reported in the US in 2014.
Number of cases reported per month averaged 3.2 cases between January 2015 and May 2020.
PDCoV testing and reporting should continue in order to increase our understanding of the disease.

Yearly incidence rate of PRRS per MSHMP Participating Production System

This week, the MSHMP team is sharing the yearly PRRS incidence rates in the 39 participating systems.

Keypoints

The average incidence rate for all systems during the entire period described was 0.27 PRRS outbreaks per farm per year.
The incidence rate of PRRS outbreaks within a system varies across years with some participants continuing to have lower incidences.
