Influenza-A virus of swine (IAV-S) is a thorn in the side of US pork producers, and it's a difficult thorn to remove. If the virus were more pathogenic, veterinarians and producers would probably talk about it more. The post New approaches to influenza control look promising appeared first on Pig Health Today.

Influenza A virus in swine (IAV-S) is one of the primary respiratory pathogens challenging swine production systems in the US and around the world, said Phil Gauger, DVM, PhD, an associate professor at Iowa State University. The virus is transmitted from pig to pig quite easily, and the movement of pigs over long distances has contributed to IAV-S problems within swine production systems, Gauger told Pig Health Today. 

“Piglets as well as sows play a key role in transmitting the virus” Veterinary virologist Dr. Pia Ryt-Hansen from the University of Copenhagen suggests practical lessons for controlling Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex viruses, based on her research into swine Influenza A virus or IAV-S in a sow herd in Denmark. Hear how production strategies and even maternally derived antibodies can actually contribute to viral persistence in the herd, plus potential benefits from the application of diagnostic tools such as genomic sequencing of virus identity and monitoring of coughing by pigs in the barn.

“People coming into the herd should at least have a vaccination against influenza” Influenza A virus (IAV-S) can occur constantly within a swine herd, all year round, warns Dr. Pia Ryt-Hansen in Denmark. This persistence provides an ideal environment for the virus to change. A particular risk would arise if visitors or farm staff introduced seasonal strains of human influenza virus.

As influenza viruses evolve, is there a more effective way to manage vaccinations for influenza A virus in swine? The post Carthage vets focusing on ‘regional' IAV-S vaccination strategies for breeding herds appeared first on Pig Health Today.

SwineCast 1029 Show Notes: In this second "At The Meeting… Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison" Influenza A Virus in Swine (IAV-S) episode, Dr. Montserrat Torremorell, Dr. Adam Schelkopf (Pipestone Veterinary Services), Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services), and Dr. Tom Wetzell (Boehringer Ingelheim) continue the conversation on the challenges of IAV-S in day to day operation, the approaches to identifying infected pigs, and the processes that need to be put in place to reduce infection and increase survivability of pigs.

When it comes to influenza A virus in swine (IAV-S), the relationship between the sow's immune status and piglet protection remains perplexing. The post Piglets are key subpopulation in keeping IAV-S circulating appeared first on Pig Health Today.
