Optimizing PRRSV detection

By Igor A.D. Paploski, Mariana Kikuti, Xiaomei Yue, Marcello Melini, Albert Canturri, Stephanie Rossow and Cesar A. Corzo, University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus causes significant economic losses in the U.S. — approximately $1.2 billion annually — due to reproductive failure, abortion and high pre-weaning mortality among piglets. Thirty percent of the U.S. breeding herd experiences annual PRRSV outbreaks. A farm’s positive stable status is confirmed by sampling serum from piglets or using processing fluids.
