transmission – Swine in Minnesota

NextGen Biosecurity: A podcast

Podcasts are a perfect way to get caught up with new swine information! We are presenting you the latest episode from “At The Meeting.”

In this episode of At The Meeting, Dr. Scott Dee from Pipestone Veterinary Services shares the latest progress and ongoing challenges in eliminating PRRS in the U.S. swine industry. He breaks down key advancements in biosecurity, from genetic strategies and transport protocols to the role of feed in viral transmission. With decades of research behind him, Dr. Dee explains how the industry is working toward lowering PRRS incidence and strengthening disease elimination nationwide. Don’t miss this insightful discussion on the future of swine health—listen now on all major platforms!

When the farm is exposed to a critical level of PRRSv in air, the probability of having an outbreak is four times higher for non-filtered farms: A retrospective analysis using wind data

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.

Researchers Kaushi Kanankege, Seunghyun Lim, and Andres Perez at the University of Minnesota examine wind data and find that farms exposed to a critical level of PRRSv in the air are four times more likely to have an outbreak if they do not have air filtration.

Evidence of influenza A infection and risk of transmission between pigs and farmworkers

In today’s Science Page, University of Minnesota researchers Gustavo Lopez-Moreno, Peter Davies, My Yang, Marie Culhane, Cesar A. Corzo, Chong Li, Aaron Rendahl and Montserrat Torremorell present research on interspecies transmission of influenza A between pigs and farmworkers.

Evidence of influenza A infection and risk of transmission between pigs and farmworkers

Today, we share a recent study by the Torremorell’s lab published in open access, in the Zoonoses and Public Health journal this past month. Led by Dr. Gustavo Lopez, this work focuses on the interface between the pigs and farmworkers when considering influenza A infection.

Modelling PRRSV dissemination dynamics to quantify the contribution of multiple modes of transmission
