PRRS – Page 5 – Swine in Minnesota

Epidemiological insights on the PRRS-Loom Variant webtool: https://stemma.shinyapps.io/PRRSLoom-variants/

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.

Repeat offenders: PRRSV-2 clinical re-breaks from a whole genome perspective

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.

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?

It today’s Science Page Kassandra Durazo-Martínez, Fernando A. Osorio, Gustavo Delhon, Jesús Hernández, and Hiep L. X. Vu share the results of their study looking at testicular tissue cell types and their susceptibility to PRRSV infection.

Insights gained through real-time monitoring of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and description of temporal trends based on laboratory data in Ontario, Canada

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 showcases researchers Tatiana Petukhova, Maria Spinato, Tanya Rossi, Michele T. Guerin, Cathy A. Bauman, Pauline Nelson-Smikle, Davor Ojkic, and Zvonimir Poljak from the Unversity of Guelph’s real-time visualization of PRRS trends in Ontario from 2014 to 2023.
