Interested in supporting the SDRS project?

Through sustained support, the Swine Disease Reporting System will be able to continue to supply the swine industry with updates on relevant disease challenges happening in near real-time.  Your support will also help to train the next generation of swine veterinarians and allow for an expanded reach across the U.S. livestock industry.  As a registered nonprofit, your contribution to the Iowa State University Foundation’s Animal Disease Reporting System Research and Education Fund is tax deductible.

Advisory Council:

Reviews and discusses the data, providing their comments and perspectives on a monthly basis:
Mark Schwartz, Drs. Megan Niederwerder, Paul Yeske, Deborah Murray, Brigitte Mason, Peter Schneider, Sam Copeland, Luc Dufresne, Daniel Boykin, Corrine Frugé, William Hollis, Rebecca Robbins, Thomas Petznick, Kurt Kuecker, Lauren Glowzenski, Brooke Kitting, and Dustin Oedekoven.

Project:

Our goal is to share information on endemic and emerging diseases affecting the swine population in the USA, assisting veterinarians and producers to make informed decisions on disease prevention, detection, and management.

After aggregating information from participating VDLs and summarizing the data, we ask for the input of our advisory group, which consists of veterinarians and producers across the USA swine industry. The intent is to provide an interpretation of the data observed and summarize the implications to the industry. Major findings are also discussed in monthly podcasts.

The SDRS programs are available in the following webpages:

SHIC-funded Domestic Disease Surveillance Program: collaborative project among multiple VDLs, with the goal to aggregate swine diagnostic data and report in an intuitive format (web dashboards and monthly PDF report), describing dynamics of pathogen detection by PCR-based assays over time, specimen, age group, and geographical area. Data is from the Iowa State University VDL, South Dakota State University ADRDL, University of Minnesota VDL, Kansas State University VDL, Ohio VDL, University of Illinois VDL and Purdue ADDL. Specifically for syndromic dashboards, the results are from Iowa State University VDL and Ohio VDL.
