Dr. Hans Nauwynck, a well-known professor at the University of Ghent, reviews with us the most important findings that he has made in PRRS virus research since it was first discovered 30 years ago.

What is the actual effect of pneumonia on the farm's economic performance? What similarity is there between pneumonia and heat stress?
