3. Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project
• Surveillance for endemic swine diseases in the US
• Industry participation
– ~45% of U.S. sow population
• Long-term epidemiological monitoring & research
• Data
– Weekly infection status of
sow farms for PRRS and PED
– Locations of farms
4. Components of infection risk
Spatially
independent
• Connectivity and structure of
networks influence disease spread
6. Data capture
Data capture
Wind
Etc.

Quantify and dynamically predict the
risk of outbreaks in sow farms
Forecasting the risk of outbreaks
7. Neighborhood effects:
• Outbreaks in neighboring farms
• Vaccination
• Animal movements
• Status of origin
• Micro-environment (climate,
land use, vegetation, tree cover)
PED outbreak?
Neighborhood effects on risk
8. Neighborhood effects on risk

Total farms = 3269
Sow farms = 319
PRRS breaks = 321
PED breaks = 458

15. Limitations
• Not all PRRS viruses are the same
• Data availability and timeliness
– Movement data
– Infection data
• Missing pieces
– Biosecurity and vaccination
– Alternative modes of transmission?
16. Conclusions
• A neighborhood-based approach captures disease
risks associated with long-distance animal
movement and local spatial dynamics
• Dynamics may depend on type of PRRS
• Foundation for dynamic forecasting of risk
2018_edin talk was 50 minutes and 54 slides, including title etc. This needs to cut to 27 slides
This project was done using databases upkept by the MSHMP for surveillance of swine diseases in the US.
Databases consist of.
Dates & Number head (~2 years)
- 100,000 movements, accounting for 20 million pigs
- 25,000 pigs daily
- 125 truckloads daily
Combination of long distance and short distance processes, with environemtnal factos effecting local spread
So let’s move back to pigs. The overarching goal of our work is to quantify and dynamically predict the risk….
Chapter 3. I had the idea to apply machine learning neighborhood affects, which is an example of the type or creativity that I bring to research. Lucky enough to work with the team to implement it
125 trucks / 25,000 pigs daily
Figure. Molecular Phylogenetic analysis by Maximum Likelihood method The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model [1]. The tree with the highest log likelihood (-15756.04) is shown. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying Neighbor-Join and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using the Maximum Composite Likelihood (MCL) approach, and then selecting the topology with superior log likelihood value. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 1878 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 449 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 [2].
