6. Working on Our Preparedness
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Santayana (in The Life of Reason, 1905) “When the situation was manageable it was neglected, and now that it is thoroughly out of hand we apply too late the remedies which then might have effected a cure.” Winston Churchill, 1935

7. Working on Our Preparedness
Lessons??
Pathway of introduction is difficult – at best
Be prepared for the next one because it is coming
We can’t expect USDA alone to respond to emerging diseases
Industry needs to take more responsibility for non-regulatory diseases
Better state-federal-industry response coordination is essential
Agreed upon response plan before the next disease

8. Are we looking?

9. AASV Task Force: PEDv Wasn’t a Surprise!
Anecdotal reports from the region
Published papers from researchers
Researcher to researcher communications
Reports to AASV Swine Health Committee
BUT, what did we do with this information?

10. Is looking enough?

11. Swine Health Information Center
Scope of Work
Swine Disease Matrix project
Swine health data – analysis and monitoring for trends
Global swine health and issues identification
Improve the biosecurity ability of the US swine herd

12. Swine Health Monitoring Project
752 breeding sites (20 systems)
2.1M sows
To address these concerns about how to better address future emerging diseases NPPC passed a wide-ranging resolution at this spring’s Pork Forum.
It was a multi-part resolution – including developing a plan in the event of new economically significant swine diseases. T

15. Working on Our Preparedness
Swine Health Information Center
Identify the biggest threats that are around the world
Be better prepared
Have better diagnostic capabilities in place
Have better awareness of how to respond to specific diseases
Inform production decisions
Sharing information will see trends and find risks much more quickly
Analysis of the information will inform swine health decisions on the farm

17. How has PEDv changed our future?

18. Federal Reporting?

19. How will WE be different? (Dr. Max Rodibaugh)
Trans boundary?
OIE Listed Diseases?
Zoonotic Disease?
Nothing should impede investigating the index case!!
FAD?
Regulatory?
Emerging Swine Production Disease?

20. How will WE be different? (Dr. Max Rodibaugh)
Trans boundary?
OIE Listed Diseases?
Zoonotic Disease?
Centralized Coordination
Disease status transparency
Transform traceability
Premises identification
Electronic Health Certificates
FAD?
Regulatory?
Emerging Swine Production Disease?

22. How will WE be different? (Dr. Max Rodibaugh)
Trans boundary?
OIE Listed Diseases?
Zoonotic Disease?
More attention of disease in Grow-Finish units
Notify if something unusual is occurring
Informative diagnostic lab submissions
Biosecurity will need to change
FAD?
Regulatory?
Emerging Swine Production Disease?
