Zoetis宣布與愛荷華州立大學合作,以幫助控制美國的 PEDv 疫情
合作的重點是開發和測試候選疫苗的豬
發布日期: 2014年2月12日
Zoetis公司 日前宣布與研究夥伴關係愛荷華州立大學 (ISU)來識別和測試候選疫苗,以幫助控制豬流行性腹瀉病毒 在美國(PEDV)。
“建立這種合作關係進一步肯定了我們打擊這種破壞性病毒的承諾,”凱萊巴斯,副總裁,美國豬肉業務部,Zoetis說。“我們期待著與頂尖的研究人員在愛荷華州立大學合作,分享知識和專業知識,我們盡一切努力,撮合在一起,幫助獸醫和生產者打豬流行性腹瀉病毒。”
豬流行性腹瀉病毒的新病例繼續上升。自12月初,超過100個新病例被每星期報導。現在豬流行性腹瀉病毒自2013年4月蔓延到豬場在23個州,有記錄的病例農場的數千人。從豬流行性腹瀉損失顯著,並已測量了一些農場在100%的死亡率感染仔豬長達3週大。
“我們知道如何毀滅性這種病毒已經到了養豬業,”王建強張醫師,博士,助理教授說,國際滑聯獸醫診斷實驗室。“我們渴望與Zoetis工作,推進我們已經開始尋找解決方案的研究。”
一個候選疫苗的開發是Zoetis“一直在努力支持豬獸醫和養豬生產者控制豬流行性腹瀉病毒的一個元素。在2013年,Zoetis開始與美國明尼蘇達大學合作開發的豬流行性腹瀉病毒的診斷測試。
而解決方案的研究和開發下去,是非常重要的生產者保持警惕生物保安措施,以阻止豬流行性腹瀉病毒的傳播。按照建議的豬獸醫協會美國這些做法:
標籤和使用槽進行裝卸。使用裝載滑道僅適用於那些離開你的農場動物。卸載到裝載滑道健康的動物可能會接觸到病毒。
清洗和消毒所有卸載槽和驅動領域盡可能多地。使用2%的酚系消毒劑在驅動行走,進入斜槽的區域,從進入點到頂部和所有地方的卡車滑槽觸點。需要用於拿起動物進行清洗和到達前消毒所有拖車。請務必留出足夠的時間讓消毒液在使用前完全乾燥。
提供工作服和靴子,讓員工穿,而在農場。這些材料應留在現場,並進行常規清洗。
如果你的農場,讓客人,提供明確的方向,他們應該在抵達時申報。此外,為他們提供工作服和靴子,他們進入任何設施前。

Zoetis announces research partnership with Iowa State University to help control porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the United States
Collaboration focuses on developing and testing vaccine candidate for swine
Release Date: 2014年2月12日
Zoetis Inc. has announced a research partnership with Iowa State University (ISU) to identify and test a vaccine candidate to help control porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in the United States.
"Establishing this partnership further affirms our commitment to fighting this devastating virus," said Gloria Basse, vice president, U.S. Pork Business Unit, Zoetis. "We look forward to working with the top researchers at Iowa State University to share knowledge and expertise as we make every effort, together, to help veterinarians and producers fight PEDV."
New cases of PEDV continue to mount. Since the beginning of December, more than 100 new cases have been reported each week. PEDV now has spread to swine farms in 23 states since April 2013, with documented farm cases in the thousands. Losses from PEDV are significant and have been measured on some farms at 100 percent mortality for infected piglets up to 3 weeks old.
"We know how devastating this virus has been to the swine industry," said Jianqiang Zhang, MD, PhD, assistant professor, ISU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. "We are eager to work with Zoetis and advance the research we've begun to find a solution."
The development of a vaccine candidate is one element of Zoetis' ongoing efforts to support swine veterinarians and pork producers control PEDV. In 2013, Zoetis began a collaboration with the University of Minnesota to develop a diagnostic test for PEDV.
While research and development of solutions continue, it's important for producers to remain vigilant with their biosecurity practices to deter the spread of PEDV. Follow these practices recommended by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians:
Label and use chutes for loading and unloading. Use the loading chute only for animals that are leaving your farm. Healthy animals unloaded into the loading chute could be exposed to the virus.
Wash and disinfect all unloading chutes and driver areas as often as possible. Use a 2 percent phenol-based disinfectant in the areas where drivers walk to enter the chute, from point of entry to the top and all areas where the chute contacts the truck.
Require all trailers used for picking up animals to be cleaned and disinfected before arrival. Be sure to allow enough time for the disinfectant to dry completely before use.
Provide coveralls and boots for employees to wear while on the farm. These materials should stay on-site and be washed routinely.
If your farm allows guests, provide clear direction for where they should report upon arrival. Also, provide them with coveralls and boots before they enter any facilities.
