1. Veterinary Services USDA Swine Program Initiatives and Updates: Collaborations to Achieve Results Troy T. Bigelow U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services April 1, 2014

2. Veterinary Services Swine Health Programs Overview • Update on surveillance and program activities • PRV, SB, CSF, IAV-S • PEDV collaborations • VS swine health activities towards enhancing surveillance • Next steps

3. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance Pseudorabies FY 13

4. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance • Pseudorabies • States submitting samples from herds with high probability of contact with feral swine receiving positives and coordinating traceback • 99.9 percent of domestic swine samples were negative • 21 percent of feral swine tested positive (FY13 convenience samples)

5. Hotspot Analysis Slide provided by VS, STAS,CEAH

6. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance • FY14 PRV initiatives: • TAIO? Tool for assessment of intervention options (part of overall comprehensive TAIO) • Collaborating with industry on PRV sample reduction initiatives • Collaboration with States high risk samples • Updating list of high risk states • Improve the capture of State and premises identifying information on market slaughter (meat juice) and NAHLN samples

7. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance • Swine Brucellosis FY 13 • TAIO? • Collaborating industry on SB sample reduction. • Implementing SB into NAHLN system

8. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance • Classical Swine Fever • Goals of rapidly detecting disease • Targets 5 areas • Waste feeder/backyard (high priority) • Sick pig specimens to VDL • Slaughter swine with risks • Feral swine • FAD investigations

9. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance (CSF) Even with PEDV highlighting the importance of rapid detection, zero swine FAD’s were reported in FY13

10. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance CSF Improvement • Improve data quality (no state of origin reported) • Continue efforts to transfer CSF serology to NAHLN laboratories • Promote correct VS form usage for collection of samples • Explore CSF testing platform possibilities

11. Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance Influenza A Virus in Swine

12. Influenza A Virus in Swine Veterinary Services Swine Surveillance

13. PEDV Activities • PEDV • Confirmed by NVSL in May 2013 • VS cooperation with states and industry • Conference calls • Notifications • VS is actively participating in: • Risk assessments, diagnostic testing (including bioassays), assisting in epidemiological investigations to determine route of disease spread, strategic task force, disease reporting, supporting research • VS NAHLN is instrumental, information reporting

16. Collaborations to Achieve Results • What is Comprehensive Integrated Surveillance (CIS)? • CIS is a standardized data collection and information management approach that facilitates designed sample targeting in response to multiple and evolving swine health information needs. • October, 2013 -USAHA resolution update of Comprehensive Integrated Surveillance in Swine (CISS) activities on implementing surveillance through appropriate surveillance streams and results.

18. CISS- Collaborations to Achieve Results Surveillance activities • Disease updates-previous slides • Planning for FAD surveillance • Non-regulatory surveillance and information. • Influenza A virus in swine. • PEDV information coordination

19. CISS- Collaborations to Achieve Results CISS – Completed tasks • Initiated discussions on data standards with states. • Result reporting to stakeholders • Validated diagnostic methods (ASF, CSF, FMD, PRV) • Pilot project on utilizing Prem ID tags

20. CISS- Collaborations to Achieve Results Completed tasks • Developed surveillance strategies for FMD, ASF surveillance pilots • Developed methods for sample collection, testing and data messaging including NAHLN network. • PEDV- receiving network data sharing from 12+NAHLN labs. (4,000 PEDV testing records every week from NAHLN labs.)

21. CISS- Collaborations to Achieve Results Areas for improvement: • Consistency • State support on individual premises data sharing agreements varies. • Continued discussions among all parties in sharing premises information with VS • Testing efficiencies -targeting • Information technology infrastructure

22. CISS-Collaborations to Achieve Results CISS -Conclusion • VS cannot implement CIS alone, nor can the States or industry. • CISS must operate as a unified system with participation and support from all stakeholders to be effective. • To date, access to needed premises data is missing. • All parties must reach consensus on ways to share premises identifiers.

23. Collaborations to Achieve Results • VS-Next steps • Continue collaboration with stakeholders to enhance current surveillance structure • Enhance surveillance by adding future diseases of concern • Collaborate to overcome the next CISS data constrains

24. Other VS Activities • Risk Analyses • October, 2013 USAHA resolution seeking support and collaboration • Risk analyses regarding the introduction of diseases via production inputs sourced from outside US.

25. Other VS Activities • Pathway Assessment • VS has initiated a pathway assessment for exotic viral diseases of swine • The assessment is to determine whether significant gaps exist in commodities imported • VS is analyzing the likelihood of disease entering the country from a various pathways such as processing of feed materials, transport, equipment import mitigation procedures, etc. • VS plans sharing results with stakeholders
