Comparative efficacy of concurrent administration of a PCV2 vaccine plus a PRRSV in pigs challenged with both viruses
Under the conditions of this study, it makes no difference to protection whether PCV2 and PRRSV vaccines are administered concurrently. Concurrent vaccination is efficacious for controlling co-infection with PCV2 and PRRSV.
Measuring progress in PRRS regional control programs
Without the participation in the program of all farms present in the area, progress will be minimal or nil.
Transdermal devices in PRRSV immunization (1/2)
NFID administered swine vaccines can use half to a tenth of the dose required for intramuscular vaccines because of the higher antigen dispersion and contact with the antigen presenting cells found in skin.
Assessing impact of 174 PRRSv on wean to finish pig health
A method to quantify the relative economic importance of pig health status at placement by specific pathogens (PRRSv and PEDv) and to estimate the effect of a specific type of PRRSv at a specific production system is presented.
Controlling Disease: It's not about the bugs
Controlling Disease: It's not about the bugs - Dr. Jim Lowe, Integrated Food Animal Medicine Systems, Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois, from the 2015 Midwest Pork Conference, December 1, 2015, Danville, IN, USA.
Exposure to oral fluid in PRRS gilt acclimation
The method is based on oral fluid collection from the groups of viraemic pigs by means of cotton ropes that will be hung in the incoming gilts pens.
Comparison of specimens for detection of PRRSv infection in boar studs
These results showed that the highest assurance of providing PRRSV-negative semen to sow farms should be based on rRT-PCR testing of serum collected at the time of semen collection.
The role of gilt acclimation in the control of PRRS
The first and the most important condition at the beginning of PRRSV control program is to disrupt virus circulation in the reproductive herd.
Evaluation of disinfection protocols to reduce virus transmission via livestock transport vehicles
Under study conditions, a high-pressure wash with cold water plus application of an accelerated hydrogen peroxide or a combined glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium disinfectant is effective at inactivating PRRSV.
Combating the Latest PRRS Cycle - "Learn-Apply-Repeat"
Combating the Latest PRRS Cycle - "Learn-Apply-Repeat" - Speaker Panel, from the 2015 North American PRRS Symposium, December 4 - 5, 2015, Chicago, IL, USA.
Effect of vaccination against PRRSV on virus shedding
Effect of modified-live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccine on the shedding of wild-type virus from an infected population of growing pigs.
Pigs that are resistant to PRRSv developed at University of Missouri
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus was first detected in the U.S. in 1987. Pigs that contract the disease have extreme difficulty reproducing, don’t gain weight and have a high mortality rate. The disease costs North American farmers more than $660 million annually. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Missouri, Kansas State University, and Genus plc have bred pigs that are not harmed by the disease.
Research develops breakthrough technology to address PRRS
The discovery of PRRS-resistant pigs could significantly improve animal well-being and save hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
Stochastic model of PRRSV control strategies on a swine farm in the United States
After 24 years of experience we still don't have a control plan agreed upon and accepted by all our technical community. Why?
Measurement of time-to-virus-negative-piglets interval in PRRSv positive sow herds
The accuracy and security provided by the combination of samples of weaned pigs and piglets at birth, either stillborn or live piglets, help us make a decision that will be crucial in any eradication plan.
