Probing genetic control of swine responses to PRRSV infection: current progress of the PRRS host genetics consortium
3 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the role of host genetics in resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection, and the effects of PRRS on pig health and related growth, are goals of the PRRS Host Genetics Consortium (PHGC). METHODS: The project uses a nursery pig model to assess pig resistance/susceptibility to primary PRRSV infection. To date, 6 groups of 200 crossbred pigs from high...
