January 2016 PEDV Surveillance Update

Producers and industry partners,

Recent environmental testing has shown increased detection of PED virus at federal and provincial processing plants. Increased survival of PEDV in colder weather may be one factor contributing to this rise in positive samples. Although there has only been one new on-farm PED outbreak reported in Ontario since July, surveillance results indicate that producers and truckers should consider processing facilities, abattoirs and assembly yards  as high risk for PEDV transmission and should take appropriate biosecurity precautions.

More information regarding PEDV surveillance results will follow in the coming weeks.

For biosecurity recommendations, please contact your herd veterinarian.
