This week, Dr. Mariana Kikuti and the MSHMP team share the evolution of PRRS ORF 5 from the original strain discovered in the 90s.
Key Points
- ORF5 sequencing for PRRSv monitoring have been increasing over time
- ORF5 nucleotide divergence from the reference VR2332 averaged at around 10-15% throughout 2000-2018.
