Webinar August 1: A Review of PRRSV Nomenclature and Current Circulating PRRSV Strains in the U.S.

July 24, 2019 — 

What's in a name? For PRRSV, there are multiple classification systems used to describe PRRSV strains (i.e. RFLP's, genotype, and lineage) and we will review the history and evolution of these systems and how we use them today. Our goal is that when discussing PRRSV with your peers we are all talking the same "language". We will also provide a summary of what PRRSV strains the diagnostic labs are seeing circulating today.

National Hog Farmer is pleased to announce the fifth episode of "Science Talks," a webinar series sponsored by Merck Animal Health, airing on August 1 at 1 p.m. Central. Join Dr. Kimberly VanderWaal, Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. Jianqiang (JQ) Zhang, Associate Professor and Virologist, Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, as they discuss their findings.
