The first Global Disease Monitoring Report (GDMR) was published in November 2017 to provide US pork producers with a clear overview of the global situation of transboundary swine diseases and support informed decision-making. At the time, access to reliable and timely information was a major challenge as many outbreak reports were scattered across local-language sources, difficult to locate, time-consuming to verify, and often delayed or limited in detail in official reporting systems such as WOAH. The report aimed to synthesize and verify this information, bringing key developments together in one accessible place, made possible by Swine Health Information Center support and funding in collaboration with the University of Minnesota.
