Abstract
Unrecognised prior to 1991, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most economically significant diseases of swine in the world today. A newly emerged arterivirus, PRRS virus causes reproductive losses in adult animals and respiratory disease in pigs of all ages (Collins et al 1992, Wensvoort et al 1991). In acute outbreaks, economic losses from PRRS virus have been estimated to range from $236 to $502 per sow in farrow-to-finish and breeding stock operations (Poison et al 1992). In response to the economic effects of PRRS, various management strategies and vaccination protocols have been tested for controlling PRRS. At present, the definitive solution to the prevention and control of PRRS has not been found.
