Q

What is the pathology of PRRS?

A
  1. non-suppurative interstitial pneumonia
  2. systemic vasculitis
  3. lymphadenopathy
17
Q

How is PRRS diagnosed?

A

IHC–antigen
PCR
sequencing/RFLP
Antibodies

18
Q

What is the timeline of antibody response to PRRS?

A
  1. IgM positive 5-14d (recent infection)
  2. IgG positive 10-14d (exposure last 1-2 mo)
  3. SN serum neutralization–positive within 28d (correlated with clearance
19
Q

What does serum neutralization detect?

A

neutralizing antibody

correlated with viral clearance but not required for protection

20
Q

How can you monitor for PRRS?

A
  1. oral fluids

2. Studs: ELISA serology, PRRS PCR on semen or blood

21
Q

How is PRRS treated and controlled?

A
  1. treat affected individuals (anti-inflam, secondary infection)
  2. vaccination
22
Q

What vaccines should be used for PRRS?

A
  1. attenuated live
    (NOT killed)
    3 types
    prior to breeding/during lactation, in progeny 3-6wk
23
Q

Who are the PRRS vaccinations NOT licenced for?

A

boars or pregnant sow

24
Q

How is herd elimination of PRRS performed?

A
  1. mass immunization or mass eposure–sterilizing immunity and cessation of ongoing vertical transmission
    =breeding herd stablization
    *using homologous strain to that present on farm
25
Q

What is serum innoculation (PRRSV)

A

it is a high risk procedure that involves inoculating the breeding herd with live VIRULENT PRRS

26
Q

What are the steps of serum inoculation (herd elimination of PRRSV)

A
  1. remove NGF population
  2. load and close herd
  3. expose animals
  4. impliment McRebel
  5. test pigs at weaning (PCR)
  6. restock NGF when consistently negative
  7. sentinel gilts
  8. open herd
27
Q

What is McRebel?

A 
good managemnet procedures:
max passive immunity
euthanize fall behinds
don't move piglets between rooms
euthanaize pigs that are very sick
dn;t feed back repro tissue to sows before farrowing
all in all out
28
Q

What is the issue with regonal control of PRRSV?

A

it is not easily kept out of non-infected farms

29
Q

How do you prevent PRRSV entry onto naive farms?

A
  1. live animal quarantine and test
  2. test semen
  3. transport and wash protocols
  4. wash fomites
  5. no use of MLV vaccine
  6. farm location
  7. visitation
  8. air filtration! (esp hog dense area)
30
Q

What is an issue with regional elimination of PRRS?

A

if it gets into the farm then it causes a disaster
