Porcine Reproductive & Respiratory Syndrome
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a significant viral disease responsible for devastating economic losses to the swine industry.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a viral disease characterized by two clinical presentations: reproductive impairment or failure in breeding animals, and respiratory disease in pigs of any age. PRRS is caused by a virus classified as a member of the genus genus Arterivirus. The disease is a significant problem and the virus is present in most pig producing countries in the world.
A vaccine exists and is effective. Commercial vaccines, both modified live and killed, have been used and they have been effective in controlling outbreaks and preventing economic losses. STAR IDAZ keeps ahead of the latest advancements in the PRRS field in readiness for future working group activity.
Working group
PRRS Working Group
In 2013 an expert group was formed on PRRS and conducted a research gap analysis. At this time STAR IDAZ collaborated with NAPRRS. No formal Working Group (WG) has since been established.

Gap analysis summary
Under the STAR-IDAZ project, an expert group was formed on PRRS and, in 2013, this group conducted the first research gap analysis. No formal Working Group (WG) has since been established. SIRCAH drafted a research roadmap for PRRS vaccines and organised a meeting with the above-mentioned experts alongside of the 2018 Conference of Research Workers in Animal Disease (CRWAD) to validate it. The experts validated the roadmap, that is published on the STAR-IDAZ IRC website.
