The International PRRS Symposium is an annual public meeting held immediately prior to the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD) and hosted by the PRRS Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP), National Pork Board and NC-229 Respiratory Diseases Committee.

The 2009 International PRRS Symposium will be held in Chicago, IL, on Friday, December 4, 2009 and Saturday, December 5, 2009. Both CRWAD and the PRRS Symposium will be held at the Downtown Chicago Marriott, Chicago, IL. Lodging information can be found on the CRWAD website (Marriot Room Reservation).

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease of swine in the U.S. This meeting brings together an international group involved in all aspects of PRRS research; researchers, students, swine health specialists, and pork producers interested in PRRS virus research are all invited to attend. A broad range of topics - from field studies to highly technical investigations - will be discussed.

There is no charge for attending the 2009 International PRRS Symposium, but registration is required. Register for the meeting and submit abstracts through this Symposium website using the "Registration" link at the top of this page. Abstract submission will be open soon and will be open until Tuesday, August 25, 2009.
