Evaluation of a methodology for collection and PRRSV detection at swine herd level

PRRS virus is usually detected in individual pig serum, but it is often difficult to do at the herd level because of cost and the labour. Researchers have recently developed a new methodology (1,2,3): the objective of this study was to compare this new method of detection of the virus in oral fluid (OF) with the classical detection of PRRSV in serum.   Catherine Charreyre1, Andrea Delvecchio1, Valerie Cozette1, Thais Vila1, Mathieu Chevalier2, Francois Joisel1 1.
