The single case of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus found
near London pales in comparison to the continuing spread across the United
States.
Federal officials say 122 more farms were added last week,
bringing the total to 2,394 barns in 23 states since the first case was
identified in Illinois in April.
Iowa remains the hotbed with 882 cases.
Although the precise source of the London outbreak has not
been revealed, it’s almost certain to be a truck or person returning from the
United States.
The virus survives longer in cold weather.
