We are eager to bring back a transformed 2024 ISU McKean Swine Disease Conference. The conference will be held on Wednesday July 24, 2024 as a one day meeting prior to Iowa Swine Day, which will be held on Thursday July 25, 2024. Although the events are separate, this provides the opportunity to feature two extraordinary conferences here in Ames.

Porcine circovirus associated disease presents a significant challenge to swine health and pork production globally. Multiple types, including PCV2 and PCV3, have worldwide distribution. An emerging porcine circovirus, PCV4, was reported for the first time in Europe in late 2023 after being initially detected in Asia in 2019. PCV is routinely monitored by the Swine Disease Reporting System for trends in diagnostic submissions, sample types, and test results. Recent trends in PCV2 and PCV3 detection in US herds have raised questions regarding surveillance strategies, clinical presentation, interpretation of results, and control strategies for mitigation of PCV-associated disease. To review trends and emerging issues regarding PCV, the Swine Health Information Center in collaboration with the American Association of Swine Veterinarians will host a webinar on PCV2/3/4 on February 6, 2024, from 12 to 1:30 pm CST.
