Transmissione di PPRSV per via aerogena; un evenienza non solo teorica (documentazione di un caso reale) [PRRSV airborne transmission; not only a theorical event (a documented case)].
Società Italiana di Patologia ed Allevamento dei Suini - Proceedings, 2006, 263-267
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) was initially called the "mystery disease". Once more, PRRS sticks to this appellation since the case reported in this paper leaves little room for doubt about an actual airborne transmission of PRRSV. It is noteworthy that, to date, airborne transmission of PRRSV was achieved only in few cases, on very short distances and in experimental conditions. This time, spread of PRRSV occurred under field conditions from a farrowing unit to two fattening units situated respectively at 600 and 1200 meters from the farrowing unit.
