Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus: Origin Hypothesis [PDF]
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is a serious swine disease that appeared suddenly in the midwestern United States and central Europe approximately 14 years ago; the disease has now spread worldwide. In North America and Europe, the syndrome

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus entry into the porcine macrophage
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) emerged in the late 1980s and rapidly became one of the most significant viral pathogens in the swine industry. In vivo, the virus shows a very narrow cell tropism and targets specific subsets of porcine macrophages.

Diagnosis of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome [PDF]
The most suitable tissue samples and test procedures for the etiologic diagnosis of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) were found to depend on several variables including the age of the pig from which tissues were collected, the stage of infection (acute or persistent), the available complement of diagnostic reagents, and the urgency ...

Streptococcus suis and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Vietnam
To the Editor: Streptococcus suis, an opportunistic pathogen of swine, is an emerging zoonotic pathogen among humans (1). In Vietnam, S. suis is the leading cause of human acute bacterial meningitis (2). Infection in humans is associated with direct exposure to infected pigs or infected raw or undercooked pork products (3). Of the 35 S. suis serotypes,
