The spread of African Swine Fever and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in Sri Lanka has been brought ...
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to devastate the global swine industry, yet the ...
A pig gene edited to resist the PRRS virus has been approved for food use in the U.S. Approval in Canada will be a test of its new gene editing rules.
In PRRS Part 1, we discussed research project terminology. The genome is the organism’s complete DNA, the phylogeny is the virus’s family tree, and a variant is an alteration in the DNA sequence, also ...
Next month, we will learn more about the success of UMN’s genomic sequencing research. PRRS study details and information have been gleaned from 2021, 2022, and 2023 PRRS virus genome research from Dr ...
PIC’s edit is intended to tackle the virus behind porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS). It knocks out a receptor on pig cells that is commonly hijacked by the virus to cause ...
It’s going to save a lot of money if pigs are immune to the PRRS virus, which spreads quite easily, causing losses of $300 million a year or more in the US alone.
Understanding the immune responses triggered upon infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) will facilitate vaccine development and disease management, protecting ...
Although Camp Hill virus belongs to the same genus as Hendra and Nipah viruses — called Henipavirus — it is genetically distinct from both of them, he emphasized. By comparison, Camp Hill ...
Porcine respiratory reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) can affect the health and productivity of pigs of all ages and remains one of the most economically important endemic diseases in the UK pig ...
A 2012 study that Holtkamp also led showed the virus caused $664 million in annual losses from 2006 to 2010. In both studies, he examined the productivity of herds affected with PRRS and those ...
