In vitro evaluation of PRRSV ORF5 sequences in samples containing PRRSV modified-live vaccine and wild-type strains

Today, we are sharing a publication from recent PhD graduate Joaquin Alvarez Norambuena in collaboration with the VDL and the MSHMP team in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation. In this paper, Dr. Alvarez Norambuena explores how Sanger sequencing performs when testing samples with multiple PRRS strains.
