Chile: implementation of a programme for the control and eradication of PRRS
The industry and the Ministry of Agriculture have prepared a plan that expects to invest some $1,400 million during year 2014.

Clinical case: Outbreaks of respiratory and reproductive disorder in a pig farm
After the clinical and serological evaluation it is decided to vaccinate against PRRSV, with which we achieve a gradual improvement in the health status on the farm. Some months later, a severe cough appears in the fattening pigs that later also appears in the nursery and in the sows.
Discovered a new gene expression mechanism in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome
These studies demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, that a protein can function as a transactivator of ribosomal frameshifting.
PRRS regional control in Europe: the Dutch project is one year on the road!
The first goal of the project is to control PRRSv-infections in order to produce negative offspring.
Switzerland: a new PRRS outbreak detected
Last 25th March the virus was detected in 15 animals on a farm with fattening pigs that had had contact with the infected farm in Lucerne.
In vitro and ex vivo analyses of co-infections with SIV and PRRSv
This study is the first to show an impact of PRRSV/SIV co-infection and superinfections in the cellular and tissue immune response at the molecular level.
USA: 2013-2014 PRRS epidemic season continues to be surprisingly different
We have observed significantly fewer cumulative new breaks thru December.
United Kingdom: 2013 pig abattoir study
A total of 645 pig carcases were randomly selected and sampled at fourteen slaughterhouses between January and May 2013.
Recombination of PRRS viruses may produce mosaic isolates
Analysis of ORF5 and full-length genome sequences of PRRSV isolates of genotypes 1 and 2 retrieved worldwide provides evidences supporting that recombination is a common phenomenon and may produce mosaic isolates.
Switzerland: the detected PRRSV is US-type
According to data published by the Swiss Food and Veterinary Safety Federal Office (OSAV), the virus detected on the pig farm in Lucerne belongs to the US-type.
Switzerland confirms PRRS subclinical infection
The farm has a total of 213 animals, of which 13 cases.
Transmission of swine pathogens: a practical perspective
Pathogens that are transmitted mostly through direct, pig to pig, contact are generally contained with today’s biosecurity programs and pig flow strategies. However, pathogens using multiple routes of transmission seem to evade standard biosecurity programs.
Spain: the new platform ConPRRS has been launched
The Centre de Recerca en Sanitat Animal (CReSA), the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and the Universitat de Lleida (UdL) have created a technical group for supporting the PRRS control (ConPRRS).
Transmission, biosecurity, and area regional control/elimination of PRRSV
A risk of airborne transmission of PRRSV is real, and air filtration can significantly reduce its risk. Area regional approach on PRRSV control/elimination indicates our direction where we should move forward in future.
PRRSv stability in manure and implications for transport biosecurity
About 50% of the vehicles used for transporting pigs in the United States are not washed between loads, so this article evaluates the ability of heating treatments to inactivate PRRSv present in manure-contaminated environments.
