PORCINE REPRODUCTIVE AND RESPIRATORY SYNDROME: AN UPDATE WITH REGARD TO VACCINATION
(Paper presented to Dutch PVS, January 2001) by S.H. Done

Abstract
(SPONSORS' PAPERS) - This paper provides an update on some features of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in a context of recently available vaccines for the control of PRRS. Of particular importance in this context are the spread of the virus, the occurrence of strains and isolates, the persistence of the virus, the possibilities for recombination and actual experiences with the vaccines and, lastly, some comments on the Danish experience with vaccination. The European and North American situations are completely different. This paper was given to the Dutch Pig Veterinary Association in conjuction with Intervet International (Boxmeer) at Hoenderloo on January 9th and Vught on January 11th 2001, The Netherlands.
