Despite the many advances throughout the years, influenza still cannot be fully controlled and represents a major economic threat to the swine industry. Therefore, we can never discuss it enough and it's never too late to tackle this challenge. Regarding the topic, I have a great conversation in this episode with Dr. Jeremy Pittman and Dr. Marie Culhane, who have excellent commercial and research experience with controlling influenza in pig production systems. In this roundtable, we discuss the latest updates about influenza, diagnostics and surveillance, and key strategies to manage those.

"We finally have enough data to achieve a much better understanding of how much influenza can change. We can use that information to feed both our research and the farm applications." - Dr. Marie Culhane
