PRRSV2 Viral Diversity within a Farrow-to-Wean Farm Cohort Study

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

In this week’s science page researchers Mariana Kikuti, Carles Vilalta, Juan Sanhueza, Nakarin Pamornchainavakul, Jessica Kevill, My Yang, Igor A. D. Paploski, Tatiana Lenskaia, Nkechi M. Odogwu, Ross Kiehne, Kimberly VanderWaal, Declan Schroeder and Cesar A. Corzo share results of further analysis a 2020 study using whole genome sequencing to assess PRRSv diversity within and across litters.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Viral Diversity within a Farrow-to-Wean Farm Cohort

Today we are sharing a recent publication from the MSHMP team in collaboration with the VanderWaal and Schroeder’s labs. The objective of the study was to assess the diversity of PRRS genomes within a cohort of naïve pigs undergoing a PRRS outbreak. The full paper is available online in open access.
