The FDA report on a bioassay stated the following:
“Please share, In summary: NVSL received ten (10) porcine plasma samples collected by the FDA from the main US plasma producer. These samples were tested by PCR for the presence of PEDV RNA and nine of the samples were positive, while one is still pending. Three of these samples, corresponding to the CFIA samples, were prepared and inoculated into 17‐19 day old piglets (5 pigs/lot). All three samples were negative by bioassay”. Therefore Commercial spray‐dried porcine plasma, PCR positive for PEDv genome, did not transmit PEDv to naïve pigs.
The FDA Research was conducted at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, IA.
