PRRS: VACCINATION WITH A KILLED VACCINE - FIELD EXPERIENCE
(Paper presented at PVS Meeting, May 2001) by F. Joisel, G. Reynaud, C. Charreyre and J-B. Herin

Abstract
The effects of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) on breeding herds in France are described. Various aspects of its epidemiology and its immunological responses are touched on, together with means of diagnosis and methods of control. In particular, reference is made to a large-scale vaccination trial carried out over a one- and-a-half year period in the Bretagne and Loire regions of France. The value and efficacy of the inactivated PRRS vaccine Merial:Progressis is assessed and detailed results of its use in the trials are set out. Overall, the authors ascribe definite benefits to its use in breeding herds on a continued basis. Sample photos and questions
