In 2023, University of Minnesota researcher Dr. Kimberly VanderWaal and coinvestigators were awarded $29,997 by the AASV Foundation to fund the proposal, "Fine-scale classification of PRRSV-2: Moving past RFLPs to improve sequence interpretation for disease control and management." The project is complete and the final report is available.
The 2 objectives of the study were to evaluate and compare potential alternative systems for classifying and naming porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus-2 (PRRSV-2) variants and to develop procedures for prospective implementation and expansion that would meet the needs of diagnostic laboratories and practitioners.
Final report: Fine-scale classification of PRRSV-2: Moving past RFLPs to improve sequence interpretation for disease control and management
