PRRS: Etiology and clinical manifestation

S. Dee

Scott Dee, the prestigious American veterinarian who is known worldwide for his research on the PRRS virus, will be in charge of this section which is dedicated exclusively to the PRRS disease. Every month a new article will be published related to subjects such as etiology and clinical signs, transmission routes, diagnostic testing methods, biosecurity or control and eradication.

PRRS: Transmission via direct and indirect routes (1/2)

S. Dee

In this second part the direct routes (infected pigs and contaminated semen) and indirect routes (fomites and transportation vehicles) of PRRSV are tackled, as is the persistence of the virus because the persistence of the infection is a characteristic of PRRSV infections in pigs and plays a major role in the control and eradication of the disease.

PRRS: Transmission via indirect routes (2/2)

S. Dee

Migratory waterfowl have been proposed as vectors of PRRSV spread between farms, due to their migratory nature and their tendency to nest on or near to swine farm lagoons

Health Article

PRRS: Diagnostic testing methods

S. Dee

This article will focus on selected antigen and antibody detection methods based on their application by practicing veterinarians to field cases in the US.

Health Article

PRRS control

S. Dee

The presence of subpopulations of exposed and non-exposed sows in chronically PRRSV-infected breeding herds assists in the maintenance of virus circulation in the breeding herd over time.

Health Article

PRRS Biosecurity

S. Dee

Trailers contaminated with PRRSV can serve as a source of infection for naïve pigs. Therefore, sanitation for livestock trailers and transport vehicles is considered a high priority when it comes to biosecurity practices.
