Analysis of prevalent winds in areas with suspicious cases of PRRSV lateral transmission between farms
July 25, 2006By Robert Morrison
This report summarizes the analysis of prevalent winds in 16 pairs of neighboring PRRS virus-infected and PRRS virus-negative pig sites. Eight pairs were selected because airborne transmission was...

Serum Markers of PRRSV Infection
July 14, 2006By Michael Murtaugh
Early detection of infectious disease is crucial for preventing the spread of the infectious agent. In PRRS, current diagnostic methods mainly use the antibody response of individual pigs or herd,...

Direct Physical Characterization of the PRRSV Virion
July 12, 2006By Michael Murtaugh
We have established that PRRSV-infected cells produce only one form (density) of virus and that it accounts for all of the infectivity. The virion is comprised of nucleocapsid at least 5 proteins....

An assessment of 3 sanitation protocols for PRRSV-positive transport vehicles
April 4, 2006By Scott Dee
Transport is a risk factor for the spread of PRRSV between farms. To reduce this risk, several sanitation protocols have been scientifically validated. Based on these results, producers now have...
