Background/Objectives: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has a major impact on swine productivity. Modified-live vaccines (MLVs) are used to aid in control. We investigated the cross-protection provided by lineage 7 PRRSV MLV against 1 isolate under laboratory conditions 3 challenge field Taiwan. Methods: In first study, thirty PRRS antibody-negative conventional piglets were vaccinated via intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID) route, with control group receiving...
Two variants of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), PRRSV 1 2, have caused abortion in pregnant sows distress nursery pigs worldwide. 2 has been thoroughly researched Taiwan since 1993; however, the first case was not reported until late 2018. To decipher genetic characteristics Taiwan, open reading frame 5 (ORF5) genes strains collected from 11 individual pig farms 2019-2020 were successfully sequenced. All Taiwanese ORF5 sequences closely related to Spanish-like...
