PRRSv continues to cause economic losses to pig producers. Monitoring herds allows us to evaluate the measures taken to control or eradicate the virus. We need cost-effective monitoring tools that allow us to sample large populations of animals. The use of processing fluids and oral fluids are two cost-effective strategies but there is still room for improvement.
We must make efforts to adopt best practices for monitoring PRRS virus in large populations with techniques that should:
- be cost-effective.
- test more animals more frequently.
- be non-invasive and practical.
