An overview of North American PRRS eradication efforts[PRRS]Scott A. Dee The use of diagnostics will allow producers and practitioners to work together towards the common goal of PRRS eradication |
Eradication[PRRS]Scott A. Dee Preventing vertical and horizontal spread of PRRSV from dam to offspring is critical for the production of naive replacement stock |
Biosecurity[PRRS]Scott A. 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. |
PRRS control[PRRS]Scott A. 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. |
Diagnostic testing methods[PRRS]Scott A. 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. |
Transmission via indirect routes (2/2)[PRRS]Scott A. 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 |
Transmission via direct and indirect routes (1/2)[PRRS]Scott A. 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.
