July Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report Now Available

Jul 10, 2025

By Abbey Canon

The Swine Health Information Center’s (SHIC) July Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report is available.

This month’s Domestic Swine Disease Monitoring Report covers the first detection of PRRSV lineage 1C.2 in North Carolina. The PRRSV case positivity in wean-to-finish remains at 40% in June, which is unusually high for the summer. PRRSV case positivity remains above the expected state-specific baselines in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Indiana. Although there is decreased PEDV case positivity across all age categories, the percent positive cases from vehicles and truck washes remains high (17%). PDCoV case positivity is above the state-specific baselines in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, and North Carolina. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae case positivity increased in wean-to-finish, but most of the positive cases were deep tracheal swabs and lungs collected to prepare homogenate for sow farm exposure. PCV2 and PCV3 case positivity increased moderately with PCV2 being detected predominantly in finishing sites and PCV3 in sow farms.

Video: Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

All adventures must come to an end, but not without one more journey! Join The Wandering Shepherds as we say farewell to our cozy Calabogie cottage and take the scenic road trip home to Ewetopia Farms. Our first stop was a breathtaking hydroelectric generating station, framed by cliffs, rushing water, and brilliant fall leaves that seemed to have changed overnight. From there, we meandered along winding backroads through lakes and hills, soaking in the spectacular autumn scenery. This year, the colors seemed to arrive earlier than usual—perhaps due to the summer’s drought? Whatever the reason, it was an unforgettable display of Ontario’s fall beauty. Finally, our holiday drew to a close as we pulled back into Ewetopia Farms, ready to return to the sheep and our daily vlogs. But this trip reminded us how important it is to pause, explore, and appreciate the simple beauty around us.
