Molecular Identification of Type I Interferon Antagonistic Components of PRRSV Proteins
Basic knowledge of PRRSV infections and clues to successful PRRSV control have led to the discovery of type 1 interferon inhibition by several viral strains, which is purported to be instrumental in...

An assessment of air filtration for reducing the risk of PRRSV infection in large breeding herds in swine dense regions
As the US swine industry moves towards regional control and elimination of PRRSV, a critical component is the ability to reduce the risk of the airborne spread of the virus between herds....

Mechanisms of Failed Protection Against PRRS in Sow Herds
Serum inoculation of gilts with on-farm isolates is used to protect endemically infected sow herds against reproductive PRRS. However, outbreaks still occur in which the offending virus is...
