In 2017, the AASV Foundation granted $30,000 to Dr Jianqiang Zhang and co-investigators at Iowa State University to fund the project "Comparison of PRRSV virus isolation in different cell lines towards improving success of isolating PRRSV from clinical samples." The project is complete and the final report is available.

The goal was to improve the success of PRRS virus isolation attempts when requested by swine practitioners for autogenous vaccine production or further characterization.

Final Report: " Comparison of PRRSV virus isolation in different cell lines towards improving success of isolating PRRSV from clinical samples"

Paper published March 2021 in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Vol 59, Issue 3: Comparison of ZMAC and MARC-145 Cell Lines for Improving Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Isolation from Clinical Samples

Paper published 15 July 2022 in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases: Characterization of PRRSV in clinical samples and the corresponding cell culture isolates
