Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is reported as the most important disease currently affecting the pig industry worldwide. A comparative evaluation of 4 different molecular methods (RTPCR end-point and Real-time) on samples collected during an experimental infection trial was performed. TaqMan probe systems may be inefficient in detecting mutant viruses because of their genetic variability leading to a diagnostic failure. In-house assays can be easily adapted to new circulating strains being more flexible than commercial kits if they are not constantly updated.

Abstract

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is reported as the most important disease currently affecting the pig industry worldwide. A comparative evaluation of 4 different molecular methods (RTPCR end-point and Real-time) on samples collected during an experimental infection trial was performed. TaqMan probe systems may be inefficient in detecting mutant viruses because of their genetic variability leading to a diagnostic failure. In-house assays can be easily adapted to new circulating strains being more flexible than commercial kits if they are not constantly updated.
