About Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS)
- What it is: a cost-driver viral disease in commercial pig farming globally.
- SA status: endemic in some commercial herds; vaccination monitoring and PCR diagnostics are standard.
- Typical samples: serum (serology), oral fluid, lung tissue (PCR).
- Who cares in SA: commercial pig producers, breeding units, pig vets.
This Highly Pathogenic PRRSV Real-time PCR Kit is used to detect PPRSV in swine serum, plasma and tissue samples, which is 100% specific. Applicable for laboratory use.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a virus that causes a disease of pigs, called porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), also known as blue-ear pig disease. This economically important, panzootic disease causes reproductive failure in breeding stock and respiratory tract illness in young pigs. The disease costs the United States swine industry around $644 million annually, and recent estimates in Europe found that it costs almost 1.5 billion euro every year.
