Evaluation of an electrostatic precipitator in mitigating the transmission of airborne viruses in experimentally infected pigs
Today, we are sharing a recent publication from the Torremorell lab exploring a new technology aiming at preventing the transmission of airborne viruses. The full publication is available in open access on the Veterinary Research journal.

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 today’s Science Page Kim VanderWaal, Nakarin Pamornchainavakul, and Mariana Kikuti explore a new UMN VDL tool which allows people to upload their sequence and get their genetic variant classification but also know which PRRS variants are on the rise.

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 is a breakdown of a recent study done by Julia P. Baker, Albert Rovira, and Kimberly VanderWaal of the University of Minnesota, in which they studied PRRSV-2 re-breaks and how the virus changed over time.

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?
