Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex
A multifactorial syndrome affecting the respiratory system of pigs.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) is a multifactorial syndrome affecting the respiratory system of pigs in the swine industry. Environmental factors and management practices can trigger PRDC pathogens to cause severe health problems. The causative agents of PRDC include primary pathogens such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), swine influenza A virus (IAV), Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), as well as Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
STAR IDAZ keeps ahead of the latest advancements in the PRDC field in readiness for future working group activity.
