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.
