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...March 13, 2009
Oral fluid sampling for health monitoring by assessment of antibody levels specific for pathogens is an exciting new concept in swine management. The work here shows that sampling of individual...February 2, 2009
Data from 187 finishing herds shows that PCV2 is nearly universally present as an active infection in finishing herds, often at moderate to high levels of viremia in the presence of anti-capsid...March 23, 2007
The research here shows that PRRSV grows in cells as a population of viruses with the same shape, the same RNA molecules, and the same protein composition. There was no evidence for multiple forms...February 28, 2007
We have established a set of standard protocols and reagents for whole genome PRRSV sequencing and assembly. Phylogenetic comparisons amongst 10 pairs of homologous strains confirmed several regions...July 14, 2006
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,...July 12, 2006
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....
