Dr. Giovani Trevisan and Dr. Daniel Linhares, both with the Swine Disease Reporting System (SDRS) in the United States, spoke with The Pig Site’s Sarah Mikesell at the pre-conference of the Leman Swine Conference in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, about the status of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in US swine herds.
“This morning was a discussion on the PED situation in the US and should we control or should we eliminate?” said Dr. Linhares. “In our talk, Dr. Giovani Trevisan and I were here to share from the Swine Disease Reporting System perspective, what's going on in herds.”
SDRS is a consortium sharing diagnostic data from six different labs in the US. The data is gathered, compiled and shared with industry. It is sponsored by the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC). The project is also receiving funding from USDA for specific research projects.
