Understanding PRRSV Infection Dynamics in Growing Pigs in Control and Elimination Programs

This week we are sharing a report by Dr. Jose Angulo regarding PRRS infection dynamics in growing pigs.

Key Points

  • Growing pigs play an important role in regional PRRSV spread.
  • There was an association between prevalence of PRRSV infection in growing pig sites and risk of outbreaks in sow farms.
  • Learning about PRRSV infection dynamics in growing pigs and associated risk factors should help manage pig flows to minimize PRRSV incidence and /or risk of dissemination.

Best of Leman 2018 series #3: J.Angulo – Understanding PRRSV infection dynamics in growing pigs in control and elimination programs

We launched a new series on the blog last year. Once a month, we are sharing with you a presentation given at the Allen D. Leman swine conference, on topics that the swine group found interesting, innovative or that lead to great discussions.

We can find all of the presentations selected from last year’s conference on the blog here.

Our third presentation for this year is from Dr. Jose Angulo from Zoetis and Dr. Paul Yeske from Swine Vet Center regarding PRRS infection dynamics in growing pigs.
