Determining the impact of conditioning time and temperature in pelleted diets on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) survivability in complete swine diets
January 27, 2015By Jason Woodworth
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv) has profoundly affected the U.S. swine industry since it emerged May 2013. Since late January 2014, it has been suspected that PEDv outbreaks have been...
Development of pseudotyped reporter viruses for detection and characterization of neutralizing antibody response to PEDV and Deltacoronavirus
January 23, 2015By Susan Carpenter
The overall objective of this research was to generate biological reagents for detection and characterization of neutralizing antibody to PEDV and Porcine Deltacoronavirus. (PDCoV). The specific goal...
Risk assessment of feed ingredients of porcine origin as vehicles for transmission of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV)
January 16, 2015By Peter Davies
Risk assessment is a set of formal methods used to try to quantify risk associated with a defined activity. Generally it involves integrating all the information that can be found on the...

Identification of Protective Antigens of African Swine Fever Virus
January 2, 2015By Daniel Rock
African swine fever (ASF) is arguably the most significant emerging disease threat for the swine industry worldwide. Devastating ASF...
Interventions to control PEDv (porcine epidemic diarrhea virus) in feed and feed ingredients
December 31, 2014By Sagar M. Goyal
We studied the effect of low heat (600C, 700C, 800C, and 900C); high heat (1200C, 1300C, 1400C, and 1450C); irradiation; and the addition of drying agents/acidifiers on the killing of PEDV in swine...

Development of PRRS virus-like-particles containing nanoparticle vaccine and its evaluation in pigs
December 1, 2014By Renukaradhya Gourapura
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is a chronic and economically important viral disease of pigs. Currently used PRRS virus (PRRSV) vaccines have failed to completely protect...
The effect of disinfection practices on RT-PCR detection of PEDv
December 1, 2014By Andrew Bowman
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is causing significant damage to the United States pork industry. Rapid dissemination of this highly contagious virus across the nation has occurred,...
Post-processing contamination chemical mitigation strategies to control PEDv in feed and feed ingredients
November 30, 2014By Cassandra Jones
Post–processing contamination of PEDv in feed and feed ingredients is a significant concern to the swine industry. Irradiation and thermal processing have both been hypothesized as possible...
