Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to devastate the global swine industry, yet the ...

Researchers have discovered a new gene expression mechanism in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, or PRRS, virus -- an important swine pathogen that costs the U.S. pork industry more ...

So a cell line that successfully isolates the virus more often could be a valuable tool in producing more tailor-made vaccines. “However, it is noteworthy that, when PRRS virus isolates obtained in ...

The disease is caused by the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, or PRRS, virus. The virus costs the U.S. pork industry more than $600 million in losses every year.

AMES, Iowa – Let there be (ultraviolet) light. That’s the indication given by research conducted at Iowa State University regarding the use of ultraviolet light as a means of stopping the transmission ...

AMES, Iowa - Vaccines are an important tool in fighting porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), but the fast-mutating virus that causes the disease sometimes requires the production ...

As explained in the paper, the PRRS virus has “a high rate of mutation due to an error-prone viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a significant rate of genetic recombination.” ...

The PRRS virus is said to primarily attack a pig’s immune system, leaving the body open to a host of other infections, particularly in the lungs. Some pigs develop a chronic infection and become ...

That viral disease, known by the acronym PRRS, cost the U.S. pork industry about $1.2 billion in lost production annually from 2016 to 2020 — amounting to an estimated $4.8 billion over that ...

The U.K.-based company Genus created a gene-edited pig that’s resistant to a devastating virus that causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, or PRRS. The FDA could be close to ...
