Association of the presence of IAV and PRRSV in sow farms with post-weaning mortality
Our results suggest that infection with IAV or PRRSV in the pre-weaning period is associated with an increase in post-weaning mortality.

Control of reproductive PRRS outbreak by type 1 PRRS vaccine
In Korea, it is common to vaccinate sows as a whole-herd mass vaccination program, where all sows are vaccinated quarterly with a type 2 PRRSV vaccine. Therefore, it is recommended to vaccinate breeding females quarterly with additional type 1 PRRSV vaccine to control type 1 PRRSV infection.
PRRS cost for the European swine industry
The estimated cost of PRRS for European pig producers is 1,5b € every year.
Evaluating the duration of a swine breeding herd PRRSV-free status and its relationship with measured risk
The article suggests measuring external risks in order to compare swine farms based on a numerical figure, and thus initiate corrective measures to improve and numerically verify the improvements achieved.
European strains of PRRSV in Korea
Type 1 PRRSV is highly prevalent in Korean swine herds and currently reproductive failure is more important consequence of infection with type 1 PRRSV, than is respiratory diseases in growing pigs.
Air filtration systems for preventing PRRSV infection in large sow herds
This type of investment may not be crazy when it comes to protecting farms with high genetic value (others are dependent on) or insemination centres.
National PRRS eradication program in Hungary
According to the present status and the experiences obtained during the previous one and a half year, Hungary will get free of PRRS by 2020.
PRRS virus shedding and IgA antibody response in feces of vaccinated pigs
The main aim of this study was to quantify the amount of virus shed in feces of pigs vaccinated with attenuated or inactivated vaccines and in unvaccinated pigs following challenge with Lelystad PRRS virus strain.
Oral fluids in PRRS diagnosis
Diagnosis in oral fluids is indicated for the control of replacements on arrival and after the adaptation process, and of the different production batches, especially risk subpopulations such as animals with a slow growth rate.
Genomic sequencing and analysis of a new PRRSv isolate from Ohio: virus continues change
This study highlights the importance of continued monitoring of PRRSV evolution using genomic sequencing.
The role of insects in the transmission of PRRSv
Flies are not usually seen as a real risk of infection between farms unless we're talking about very high-density areas. However, flies can travel long distances if captured when collecting carcasses.
Collection of oral fluid from individually housed sows
These baseline results suggest that oral-fluid samples can be collected from individually housed sows, but that further studies on the optimization of oral-fluid collection in the sow unit (gestation and farrowing) would be of value.
The role of fomites and personnel in the transmission of PRRSV
Biosecurity measures for visitors should be implemented in all farms without exception, and hand washing with soap and subsequent disinfection should be compulsory in those farms where showering is not.
Chile: the pig sector improves in matters of animal health
The Chilean pig sector is still improving in the strengthening of animal health through the implementation of prevention, control and eradication programmes.
The role of transport vehicles in the transmission of PRRSV
How can we tell whether a transport vehicle is clean by just taking a glimpse?
Development of a synthetic PRRSv strain that confers broader cross-protection
The results demonstrate that the PRRSV-CON virus can serve as a potential vaccine candidate for the development of a novel PRRS vaccine with broader cross-protection.
