In recognition of the value and need for research with direct application to the swine veterinary profession, the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) Foundation has granted $25,111 to Guilherme Milanez Preis, PhD student in the University of Minnesota’s Veterinary Medicine Graduate Program, and Cesar Corzo, DVM, MS, PhD, associate professor in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, to assess senecavirus A (SVA) shedding and transmission in growing pig populations.
SVA has circulated amongst the United States swine herd for more than 30 years, generating losses and anxiety among producers due to its resemblance to foot-and-mouth disease. The new study aims to describe SVA shedding patterns over time in growing pig populations and assess the state of infection in piglets after co-mingling in the nursery.

Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:-, an emerging serotype in swine, has become one of the most identified serotypes in pigs, pork, and humans worldwide. It captured the attention of an American Association of Swine Veterinarians member who recommended the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) develop a fact sheet on this bacteria for the benefit of the U.S. pork industry. As a result, the new S. 1,4,[5],12:i:- Fact Sheet has been posted and contains valuable information on the serotype. This project represents SHIC’s mission of responding to industry needs.
