Transmission, biosecurity, and area regional control/elimination of PRRSV
A risk of airborne transmission of PRRSV is real, and air filtration can significantly reduce its risk. Area regional approach on PRRSV control/elimination indicates our direction where we should move forward in future.
PRRSv stability in manure and implications for transport biosecurity
About 50% of the vehicles used for transporting pigs in the United States are not washed between loads, so this article evaluates the ability of heating treatments to inactivate PRRSv present in manure-contaminated environments.
Clinical case: Effects of the adaptation to the welfare law in a PRRS outbreak
This farm produces its own gilts from grandmother sows, but taking advantage of the adaptation to meet the needs of the welfare law it was decided to increase its capacity from 600 sows to 1,200.
The role of host genetics in the response of pigs to PRRSV infection
Clinical disease and outcome following PRRS infection has significant inherited components.
Impact of PRRS vaccination timing in pigs with different maternal immunity levels
Comparison of the virulence of European and North American genotypes of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in experimentally infected pigs
Dealing with PRRSv-positive breeding herds
Is the right strategy to get a farm stable, that is, control clinical signs reducing the economic impact of the disease; or should a farm adopt strategies to go “negative”? As for other questions in the epidemiological field, our answer is “it depends”.
Chile: current PRRS strain has no relation with the strain eradicated in 2007
PRRS Diagnosis and Monitoring Workshop
On October 17-19, 2013 the final meeting of the project "Understanding and fighting PRRS in Europe" (COST action FA0902) focused on the diagnosis and the monitoring of PRRS was held in Greece.
United States: Ohio forms first PRRS task force
Reoccurrence of PRRS in Chile
PRRS virus elimination: How to prove herd negativity?
One of the challenges when conducting a disease elimination project is to ensure that the pathogen has in deed been eliminated from the herd.
Genomics and pig health
One of the greatest long-term potentials for genomic selection is to identify specific genes or genomic regions with a significant impact on pig health and to aid selection for disease resistance and/or disease tolerance.
