Confirmed PED cases in CanadaSo far all in Ontario (13 herds, 10 counties)
PED specific strategies
9
Strategies to prevent entry and spread of PED
10
Strategies to prevent entry
• CSHB notified Canadian industry; developed technical bulletins & developed PED response templates (CCVO & CFIA)
• CASV partnership: biosecurity notices to transporters• Proper truck washing and disinfection protocols
communications• US collaboration (NPB): tracking PED developments and
monitoring targeted PED research• Sampling protocols and diagnostic capacity communications• CSHIN: monitoring PED-like reports; verifying that Canada
was PED free (until January 23)• Daily updates through CSHIN communications infrastructure
11
Planned / proposed research
• CSHIN: Develop/implement advanced knowledge creation tools; design and implement effective reporting and data interrogation systems
• Funding under consideration by Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA)
12
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT)
• PEDv related activities – transportation
• Comparison of what’s happening across the country
• Gap analysis
• Verification protocols
• Training of trainers
• Support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Canadian Pork Council
13
Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT)
• Technical Advisory Group to address technical questions Clarity on new PED vaccine Implications of new strain of PED identified in US Potential contamination with feed as a vector
Small group with representation from key stakeholders Other expertise brought in as required Assessment of new knowledge and recommendations for
implementation Financial support requested from Agriculture and Agri-Food
Canada
14
Environmental sampling for PED surveillance
• Lots of environmental surveillance happening provincially
• Proposal for national standardization and collaboration
• Monitoring results and communications through existing CSHIN infrastructure
• Under consideration by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
• Details under discussion with epidemiologists
15
National PED communications capacity
• Collect, assess and share PED information from all industry stakeholders
• Currently being done ad hoc
• Support requested from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
• Requires industry support and involvement (two-way communication)
16
Support to reduce the risk of spread from infected herds
• Provide support for additional costs to reduce the spread of infection from the first herds with PED
• Example of extra costs Stop animal movements Eventual controlled animal movements Special handling of culls and dead stock Additional veterinary services
• Options for support under consideration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and provincial governments
Building a Healthier Herd – PVCRT 17
PED RESEARCH INITIATIVES (CURRENT)
• Hazard characterization (CFIA)
• Risk assessments completed (Quebec)
• Efficiency of disinfectants for PED on trucks
• Environmental sampling (Quebec, Ontario and now elsewhere)
• Vaccine development underway (Harris and others)
• Development of diagnostic tests on live animals
• Feed ingredient testing for PED (Ontario)
• Lots of effort, especially in Ontario, on adaptations for containment and preventing new breaks
18
EXAMPLES OF PED RESEARCH REQUIRED INITIATIVES
• Risk of feed as a vector for PED transmission
• More general epidemiology research
• Efficacy of PED vaccines
• Development of effective diagnostic testing – antibodies
• And of course, genomics!
• CSHIN has a role in facilitating tracking results and sharing with the industry.
• Chris Byra and Lucie Verdon would be pleased to participate in further discussions.
