PRRS RFLP, what is it and how we use them?

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, the University of Minnesota (Mariana Kikuti, Igor Paploski, Marcello Melini, and Cesar Corzo) explains RFLPs, how they are used today and some of their pitfalls.

What monitoring taught us about PRRS: a podcast episode

Dr. Cesar Corzo shares what he has learned about PRRS since becoming the lead investigator of the Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project (MSHMP) in an episode of the Swine Doc Pod with Carthage.

Meet our graduate students in swine health and production

Graduate students are at the core of our research efforts to deliver science-based solutions to solve the swine industry’s problems. You may be familiar with their names through scientific publications or you may have seen them present the results of their research at various conferences but they deserve a proper introduction. Meet our 2021-2022 graduate students!

Experimental pig study confirms the high virulence of the recently emerged PRRSV 1-4-4 L1C variant strain

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 we learn about the findings of a study conducted by researchers at Iowa State University inoculating pigs with the 1-4-4 L1C variant.

Summary: A putative PCV3-associated disease in piglets from Southern Brazil

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 we look at the results of a joint study between the Universidade Federal Do Rio Grande Do Sul, Agroceres Pic and the UMN Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory that looked at the connection between newborn piglets presenting with large caudally rotated ears and PCV3 infection.
