Multi-network comparison of between-farm contacts for infectious disease surveillance in swine production

Jason A. Galvis, Nicolas C. Cardenas, Gustavo Machado

Understanding how swine farms are interconnected, directly and indirectly, is essential to characterizing infectious disease transmission. This study aimed to describe the connecti…

Descriptive and risk analysis of vehicle movements linked to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and porcine epidemic diarrhea transmission in US commercial swine farms

Jason A. Galvis, Taylor B. Parker, Cesar A. Corzo +3

Vehicle movements, including vehicle cabs and trailers, play a role in disseminating disease in swine production. However, there are many information gaps about vehicle movements p…

Evaluation of the infectivity of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus on swine vehicles after cleaning and disinfection

Taylor B. Parker, Michael C. Rahe, Kelly A. Meiklejohn +4

Biosecurity measures enforced by the swine industry are in place not only to protect a single farm, but also the vast community of interconnected swine farms. Vehicles play a role…

Evaluating sampling strategies for effective detection of African swine fever in the growing pig population in the U.S

Jason A Galvis, Aniruddha Deka, Gustavo Machado

Early detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) is critical to preventing widespread epidemics. However, the effectiveness of within-farm sampling remains to be examined, parti…

Evaluation of the transmission dynamics of Lawsonia intracellularis in swine

Fernando L. Leite, Jason A. Galvis, Dana Beckler +1

The transmission dynamics of the common enteric pathogen Lawsonia intracellularis are not fully understood. To evaluate the transmission parameters of this pathogen, one and two co…

Spatiotemporal relative risk distribution of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in the southeastern United States

Felipe Sanchez, Jason A. Galvis, Nicolas Cardenas +3

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains widely distributed across the U.S. swine industry. Between-farm movement of animals and transportation vehicles,…

The role of vehicle movement in swine disease dissemination: novel method accounting for pathogen stability and vehicle cleaning effectiveness uncertainties

Jason A. Galvis, Gustavo Machado

The transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in animal production are driven by several propagation routes. Contaminated vehicles traveling between farms have been associated w…
