The impact of discontinuing PRRS MLV vaccination in piglets in the single site in Thailand
- Expertise article
- N Duangwhae, S Jamawat, R Supphamit
A PRRSV-positive farrow to finish farm with 1700 sows in the western area of Thailand.
The effect of stopping PRRS MLV vaccination in the nursery unit was evaluated.
Based on the mortality change, stopping MLV vaccination resulted in big economic loss in the farm.

Lawsonia intracellularis infected enterocytes lack sucrase-isomaltase which contributes to reduced pig digestive capacity
- Expertise article
- Helm et al.
Lawsonia intracellularis is endemic to swine herds worldwide, however much is still unknown regarding its impact on intestinal function. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the impact of L. intracellularis on digestive function, and how vaccination mitigates these impacts.
PRRSV detection by qPCR in processing fluids and serum samples collected in a positive stable breeding herd following mass vaccination of sows with a modified live vaccine
- Expertise article
- Lebret et al.
In the last two decades, in France, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) stabilization protocols have been implemented using mass vaccination with a modified live vaccine (MLV), herd closure and biosecurity measures.
Growth performance improvement and mortality reductions derived from a PRRS large-scale control project in the US

PRRSv has been demonstrated to have an economical per pig up to $9.12 US dollars in nursery phase.
Control and eradication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 2 using a modified-live type 2 vaccine in combination with a load, close, homogenise model: an area elimination study
- 2 minutes
- Expertise article
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes significant animal and economic losses worldwide. The infection is difficult to control and PRRSV elimination at local level requires coordinated intervention among multiple farms. This case study describes a successful elimination of PRRSV from all 12 herds on the Horne Peninsula, Denmark, using a combination of load, close, homogenise (LCH) using PRRSV type 2 modified-live vaccine, optimised pig flow, and’10 Golden Rules’ (10GR) for biosecurity management. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first successful European PRRSV area elimination project documented in detail. The PRRSV type 2 modified-live vaccine was used as part of the LCH method in breeding herds. Complete or partial depopulation was performed in some infected herds. A simplified biosecurity protocol (10GR) based on the McREBEL™ system of pig flow management, was employed in all herds and at all times throughout the study.
