US - Eradication of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea virus (PEDv) across the US is still unlikely, writes Bruce Cochrane. The executive director of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians Dr Tom Burkgren has said that while producers and veterinarians have demonstrated success in ridding individual swine operations of PED, eradication of the virus on a national scale is still a long way off. Although losses resulting from PED in the United States have fallen dramatically from one year ago, there is still some circulation of the virus. Dr Burkgren said that the diligence with which producers and veterinarians have approached biosecurity has really paid off and, anecdotally, the immune status of the US sow herd has improved from one year ago, but full scale eradication is still a long way off.
美国——在美国消灭猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDv)仍然是不可能的，布鲁斯·科克伦写道。美国猪兽医协会执行主任Tom·Burkgren博士说，虽然生产者和兽医证明可以成功消除个体猪PED的行动，但是在全国范围内根除该病毒仍有很长的路要走。尽管在美国PED损失已比一年前大幅下降，但还有一些病毒的反复发作。Burkgren博士说,生产商和兽医的努力已接近生物安全标准，确实得到了回报，美国母猪的免疫状态比一年前有所改善，但全面根除还有很长的路要走。
