Manitoba Has its First PED Virus Case in 2018
Posted in: Pork Insight Articles, Production by student on June 19, 2018

Publication: Prairie Hog Country, June/July 2018
Summary: In Southeastern Manitoba, the first new case of vPED of 2018 has been confirmed. As a result it is recommended by the Chief Veterinary Office that producers enhance biosecurity on the premise. Looking back to the premises effected by the 2017 outbreak, there are 68 that are presumptive negative, 11 in the transitional and one positive site. Producers have the ability to log on to the Manitoba Coordinated Disease Response (MCDR) that is online to find detailed information regarding status and location of all infected premises. Examining disease standing for the first quarter of 2018 it is apparent that Erysipelas is evident in the background with clinical signs appearing when producers choose not to vaccinate. Other diseases that have seen an increase in 2018 are Greasy Pig, Rotavirus and Influenza.
