Respiratory viruses detected in individual pigs at agricultural exhibitions
| Pathogens detected in pigs at exhibitions | Number of pigs positive (%) n = 2862 |
|---|---|
| IAV | 498 (17.4) |
| PHEV | 251 (8.8) |
| PPIV1 | 201 (7.0) |
| PRRSv | 20 (0.7) |
| IDV | 2 (0.07) |
Individual swine nasal samples from 102 agricultural exhibitions were tested for five respiratory viruses by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The number of individual pigs positive for each pathogen are shown. Seven hundred eighty-five pigs tested positive for at least one pathogen. Of those, 165 pigs tested positive for > 1 pathogen.
IAV: influenza A virus, PPIV1: porcine parainfluenza virus 1, PHEV: porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis, PRRSv: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, IDV: influenza D virus.
