Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a serious health risk and the societal costs may be high.
This project will provide a much-needed basis for LA-MRSA control in Swedish pig production. Due to a lack of strategy for positive findings, no surveillance is currently conducted. The project uses theoretical models to simulate the spread of LA-MRSA, and different control measures are assessed for cost-efficiency.
In this PhD project, the basic model is built and simulation of spread and control comes next. Collaboration with researchers in Denmark and Norway uses their experiences and data. Cooperation with Swedish farmers' organisations and veterinary authorities ensures that the results are directly applicable for the end-users.
Antibiotikaresistens (AMR) är en global utmaning för djur- och folkhälsa. I WHOs handlingsplan mot AMR nämns särskilt LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), som är vanligt hos grisar i många länder. Folkhälsorisken är generellt låg, men för drabbade är LA-MRSA en allvarlig hälsorisk och samhällskostnaderna kan bli höga.
Projektet ska ge underlag för hantering av LA-MRSA i svensk grisproduktion. Idag görs ingen övervakning då en strategi för att hantera smittade besättningar saknas. I projektet simuleras smittspridning i teoretiska modeller och olika kontrollåtgärder testas för att utvärdera vad som är kostnadseffektivt.
Projektet är ett doktorandprojekt, grundläggande modellering är klar och nu ska smittspridning och kontroll simuleras. Via samarbete med forskare i Danmark och Norge nyttjas erfarenheter och data i dessa länder. Samverkan med svenska djurägarorganisationer och myndigheter innebär direkt applicerbara resultat för användarna.

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …
