Implementing a user-friendly format to analyze PRRSV next-generation sequencing results and associating breeding herd production performancewith number of PRRSV strains and recombination events

The open reading frames (ORF)5 represents approximately 4% of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-2 genome (whole-PRRSV) and is often determined by the Sanger technique, which rarely detects >1 PRRSV strain if present in the sample.

Genetic Diversity and Epidemic Types of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Virus in Japan from 2018 to 2020

To clarify the genetic diversity of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in Japan in recent years, we determined the nucleotide sequence of open reading frame 5 of 2482 PRRSV sequences obtained from samples collected from pigs between January 2018 and December 2020.

Effect of pooling family oral fluids on the probability of PRRSV RNA detection by RT-rtPCR

Family oral fluids (FOFs) are an aggregate sample type shown to be a cost-efficient and convenient option for determining the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) status of weaning age pigs.

Evaluation of PRRS vaccine efficacy following infection with PRRS 1-7-4

Our objective was to evaluate whether porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccination improved mortality and morbidity following experimental infection with a PRRSV restriction fragment length polymorphism 1-7-4. Results indicated that mortality and morbidity were significantly lower for vaccinated pigs as compared to unvaccinated pigs (P < .001).
