Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Current Global Situation and Possible Threat for Europe

چکیده
The purpose of this report is to present Canada’s experience so far with the emergence of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) using a pro-active risk management approach. This approach is reflected in the actions the Canadian Food Inspection Agency took in collaboration with other stakeholders starting from the period the disease was first confirmed in United States to the time after it was confirmed within Canada and covering the feed investigations. This report provides the details about these actions and an overview of the Swine National Biosecurity Standard.

متن کاملUsing heterogeneity in the population structure of U.S. swine farms to compare transmission models for porcine epidemic diarrhoea.
In 2013, U.S. swine producers were confronted with the disruptive emergence of porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED). Movement of animals among farms is hypothesised to have played a role in the spread of PED among farms. Via this or other mechanisms, the rate of spread may also depend on the geographic density of farms and climate. To evaluate such effects on a large scale, we analyse state-level c...
