Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory Joins Swine Disease Reporting System

Oct 09, 2023

The Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University is now providing the diagnostic data it collects on swine to the Swine Disease Reporting System.
The Swine Health Information Center funded Swine Disease Reporting System has once again expanded, with the addition of diagnostic data collected by the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University.
Established in 2017, the mandate of the Swine Disease Reporting System is monitoring and reporting diagnostic data and trends of endemic diseases in U.S. swine.
Purdue joins the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, the South Dakota State University Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory, the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the Ohio Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory.
Swine Health Information Center Associate Director Dr. Megan Niederwerder says the addition of Purdue was at the request of swine sector stakeholders.
