Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Whole-Genome Diversity Reveals Divergence of Contemporary Populations in the United States

This study analyzes complete PEDV genomes to reveal temporal genetic differentiation and recombination in US PEDV populations, expanding the known geographic distribution of S1 clades.

Timing the regional spread of PRRSV-2 variants across the United States

This study analyzes the spread speed of PRRSV-2 variants across U.S. swine regions using genetic data and epidemiological methods.

PRRSV-2 variant classification: a dynamic nomenclature for enhanced monitoring and surveillance

This paper introduces a dynamic classification system for PRRSV-2 genetic variants using clustering algorithms and demonstrates its effectiveness in tracking genetic diversity over time.

Identifying control strategies to eliminate African swine fever from the United States swine industry in under 12 months

This paper uses a mathematical model to identify intensified control strategies needed to eliminate African swine fever from U.S. swine populations within 12 months.

Phylogenetic-based methods for fine-scale classification of PRRSV-2 ORF5 sequences: a comparison of their robustness and reproducibility

This study compares phylogenetic-based methods for fine-scale classification of PRRSV-2 ORF5 sequences, identifying robust approaches that improve resolution over RFLP-typing.

Modeling the effects of vaccination against multiple strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome at the barn level

The paper models targeted vaccination strategies against PRRSV strains at the barn level, showing that strain-specific vaccines reduce infections, while multiple vaccines may be more effective when strains vary in vaccine response.
