2022/09/19

With ASF so close to our borders, we need to make sure we are prepared for if it spreads to the U.S. because if it crosses our borders, we need to act fast. One of the main factors contributing to the success of containment is speed, so identifying its presence on your farm must be quick.

2022/05/31

Often being overshadowed by more “famous” swine diseases such as PRRSV and PEDV, Senecavirus A has been silently moving through swine herds since the late 80s. Not much is known about its epidemiology and detection has so far been mainly limited to vesicular fluid. Guilherme Preis shares his work on Senecavirus A with me in this episode and discussed his work at further understanding its epidemiology as well as different sampling techniques that can be used to monitor spread and viral shedding.
