An improved multivalent PRRSV vaccine preventing disease, virus transmission and carrier state in vaccinated animals

Research Question

  • Protection against disease caused by the various virus strains
  • Sterile immunity
  • Prevent vaccine virus contributing to evolution of field isolates
  • Virus eradication from a herd

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Cross-protection against the various isolates
  • Attenuated live viruses can contribute to virus evolution
  • Generation of both a CTC and VN response
  • The dominant immunogens may not be protective

Solution Routes

  • Establish protection levels with various candidate vaccine options, including priming with one vaccine and boosting with a different vaccine
  • Establish if pig genetics influences responses
  • Incorporate the candidate vaccine in a vaccine platform covering a number of diseases
  • The development of farm strain-specific vaccines (autologous vaccines)

Dependencies

  • Development of cross protective/multivalent killed vaccine
  • Development of a cross protective/multivalent vectored vaccine
  • Development of a subunit vaccine
  • Development of an attenuated vaccine that does not persist or is excreted
