The implications of the PRRSV recombination dilemma

PRRS control measures also reduce the opportunities for different wild-type viruses to recombine and create more aggressive strains.

Figure 1: Schematic representation of a PRRSV whole genome (GenBank U87392) and the target regions for different diagnostic assays. In the United States, RT-PCR assays to detect modified live virus (MLV) vaccine-like viruses target the nsp2 region, and CLAMP sequencing to block amplification of MLV vaccine viruses during Sanger sequencing targets the ORF5 gene.

PRRS Molecular diagnostics: when sequencing only 4% is not enough

Genetic mutation and evolution of PRRSV can occur across all genes. Unlike ORF5, which only represents about 4% of the PRRSV genome, NGS can recover a whole PRRSV genome to be used in epidemiological investigations.
