November 19, 2014 — 

The 2014 North American PRRS Symposium will be held December 5-6, 2014, at the Intercontinental Hotel, Magnificent Mile in Chicago.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease of pigs in the world. A new coronavirus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), is seriously impacting the industry. In addition to PRRS, this year’s meeting features a special session devoted to PED. Abstract submission is invited for all three diseases: PRRS, PED and PCVAD. Travel fellowships will be available for students and post-docs. Friday evening will feature a poster session and short talks selected from the abstracts. Registration is $150 for regular attendees and $100 for students, and includes proceedings, lunch on Saturday and all refreshment breaks.

A special room rate of $189/night is available from Wednesday, December 3 through Tuesday, December 9. Attendees requiring visas are encouraged to register early.
