Much of the United States has become mycoplasma naive in the last several years, but that doesn't mean it isn't a threat for producers, especially regarding the gilt movement. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ana Paula Poeta Silva about her work with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae identifying different sampling methods and even what to do in the case of a false positive.

Dr. Ana Paula Poeta Silva is a Ph.D. candidate at Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic and Population Animal Medicine. She received her DVM and Master's degrees in Brazil before attending ISU. Her research mainly focuses on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae surveillance control strategies and gilt acclimation.
