An overview of North American PRRS eradication efforts
The use of diagnostics will allow producers and practitioners to work together towards the common goal of PRRS eradication
PRRS Eradication
Preventing vertical and horizontal spread of PRRSV from dam to offspring is critical for the production of naive replacement stock

PRRS Biosecurity
Trailers contaminated with PRRSV can serve as a source of infection for naïve pigs. Therefore, sanitation for livestock trailers and transport vehicles is considered a high priority when it comes to biosecurity practices.

PRRS control
The presence of subpopulations of exposed and non-exposed sows in chronically PRRSV-infected breeding herds assists in the maintenance of virus circulation in the breeding herd over time.

PRRS: Transmission via indirect routes (2/2)
Migratory waterfowl have been proposed as vectors of PRRSV spread between farms, due to their migratory nature and their tendency to nest on or near to swine farm lagoons

PRRS: Transmission via direct and indirect routes (1/2)
In this second part the direct routes (infected pigs and contaminated semen) and indirect routes (fomites and transportation vehicles) of PRRSV are tackled, as is the persistence of the virus because the persistence of the infection is a characteristic of PRRSV infections in pigs and plays a major role in the control and eradication of the disease.

PRRS: Etiology and clinical manifestation
Scott Dee, the prestigious American veterinarian who is known worldwide for his research on the PRRS virus, will be in charge of this section which is dedicated exclusively to the PRRS disease. Every month a new article will be published related to subjects such as etiology and clinical signs, transmission routes, diagnostic testing methods, biosecurity or control and eradication.
