With more herds breaking with highly virulent PRRS strains, what can we do to prevent and control infection? How does the 1-4-4 L1C strain differ?

Regional control programs were designed for the control and eradication of different viral diseases. Why are there only a few regional control programs still active for swine worldwide?

This PRRSV strain is affecting the U.S. Understanding where these viruses come from can help us stop this cycle.

Do we know what percent of imported batches of pigs are viremic for PRRS and to which strains?

What samples should be taken for the new PRRS categories according to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) guidelines?

An outbreak of edema disease was treated with fasting and antibiotic therapy, but in subsequent batches these measures were no longer successful. The outbreak progresses and it was observed that when animals are medicated, either orally or parenterally, mortality increases both in number and speed.

We review what's new in the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) guidelines, which include new monitoring techniques and expanded and modified categories.

High virulence PRRS virus strains cause more accentuated clinical symptoms, higher mortality, higher viral load and dissemination in body tissues, as well as a higher inflammatory response.
