Since January 2016, more than 60 positive accessions of the Seneca Valley Virus (SVV), or Senecavirus A, have been reported by labs across the United States. New cases appear to be showing up more rapidly as the summer goes on. An informative photo gallery about SVV is provided with this update.

SVV is not a limited production disease, but its symptoms are similar to foot-and-mouth disease, swine vesicular disease, vesicular stomatitis and vesicular exanthema. Hog farmers finding lesions on the snout and coronary band/hoof lesions on sows, nursery pigs or finishing pigs should immediately consult their herd veterinarian.
