Scientists at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and School of Public Health recently found that high flow rate samplers — which assess a greater quantity of air at one time than low flow rate samplers — may be better for detecting infectious virus and viral RNA in the air in animal agricultural settings.

The United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) recently funded more than $2.7 million worth of research at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM).

Many people living in an emerging infectious disease hotspot often do not fully understand the health threats linked to living in a wildlife-rich area, according to a new study.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is unique among viruses in its family in that it can be sexually transmitted between humans without the need for a mosquito host.

A team of researchers led by Alonso Guedes, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVAA, and Kristi Flynn, DVM, studied the effects of amantadine, a drug used to treat the flu in humans, on the mobility and quality of life in a group of 13 client-owned cats with osteoarthritis (OA).

A recent pilot study established processes for voluntary data sharing on how swine producers use antibiotics.

A team of researchers led by Luciano Caixeta, DVM, PhD, recently published a study that found administering an immune stimulant (IS) prior to transportation reduced the likelihood of treatment for respiratory diseases during the first 30 days of life.

University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) faculty are collaborating with researchers at the School of Public Health (SPH) to roll out a surveillance study of COVID-19 among asymptomatic populations.

While honey bees get Deformed wing virus (DWV) from a parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, the presence of the parasite is not a likely factor in increasing the spread of the disease for other insects, according to a recent study.

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota and Kansas State University has partnered in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM) to develop pilot systems for collecting and analyzing antimicrobial use data from U.S. beef feedlot, dairy, swine, turkey, and chicken production settings.
