Abstract excerpt
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 2 (PRRSV-2) exhibits extensive genetic diversity, and ORF5-based classification provides a standardized framework for global molecular surveillance. In a previous nationwide study in Japan, lineage 4 (L4) was identified as a dominant lineage exhibiting unexpectedly high genetic diversity. This observation motivated a focused reassessment of L4-assigned...
