PPRS has broken out for the first time this year in Lao Cai Province.

In a population of 14.783 animals of different age groups, only 11 reacted positively to the ELISA test.

Meat imports into Vietnam jumped 30% to 107,000 tonnes in 2011, reflecting that blue ear disease (PRRS) and cross border trade of live pigs during the year resulted in a sharp drop in the country's meat supplies.

The investment of $294,500 under the CAAP will provide tools, coordination and funds to initiate small-scale projects for controlling and eradicating PRRS.

According to the results of the thesis presented to The Royal Veterinary College, University of London: "The Epidemiology of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in England: and evaluation of surveillance using scenario tree analysis", current control measures are not effective and that surveillance needs enhancement.

A pilot project designed to allow pork producers in Western Canada to certify that their herds are free of PRRS has been expanded to include Ontario and Quebec.
