When does viral load decay?
Following infection via inhalation of aerosolized virus, PRRS virus replicates in pulmonary alveolar macrophages in the lung.
Why cellular immunity is important for PRRS control – respiratory pathway
PRRS virus is able to infect pigs through multiple different routes of infection, including inhalation of aerosolized virus.
Why cellular immunity is important for PRRS control – reproductive pathway
There are multiple ways that sows can become infected with PRRS virus, including inhalation of aerosolized virus, as well as through virus-contaminated semen.
