Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS): an immune dysregulatory pandemic

Abstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory disease syndrome (PRRS) is a viral pandemic that especially affects neonates within the "critical window" of immunological development. PRRS was recognized in 1987 and within a few years became pandemic causing an estimated yearly $600,000 economic loss in the USA with comparative losses in most other countries. The causative agent is a single-stranded, positive-sense enveloped arterivirus (PRRSV) that infects macrophages and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Despite the discov… Show more

“…In the system of intensive swine production, syndromic diseases including respiratory, enteric, vesicular, and reproductive diseases are often causing different levels of morbidity and mortality, leading to significant economic losses (Butler et al, 2014;Garner et al, 2002;Jung and Saif, 2015;Kleiboeker, 2002;Ma et al, 2015). Within a given syndromic disease, clinical signs caused by different pathogens can be very similar.…”
