PRRS, a consistently inconsistent challenge

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians estimated PRRS  annual cost to the US swine industry of nearly $700 million.

The Swine Health Information Center (SHIC)1 supported by the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, has recently reported increased requests for PRRS virus (PRRSv) sequences.

The analysis of the information also shows a significant increase in the percentage of positive cases of PRRSv which aligns with the perception in the field of increased PRRSv activity.

According to the SHIC there is a growing interest in better characterizing the PRRSv strains involved in clinical cases.

Phibro Animal Health Corporation and MJ Biologics offers a unique method to identify PRRSv, this patented technology helps identify the genetic changes to the manner that PRRSv is experienced by the pig’s immune system

MJPRRS® Grouping Technology

Developed by MJ Biologics, the MJPRRS Grouping Technology identifies the differences in PRRSv’s presentation – the portions of the virus first encountered by the pig during PRRSv exposure.

The MJPRRS patented Grouping Technology, is a unique method of comparing PRRSv isolates taking into consideration the physical and immunological properties of the virus.

MJPRRS Grouping Technology differs from traditional genetic comparisons of RNA (dendrograms, nucleotide homologies, RFLP patterns) because it groups PRRSv by genetic changes to its presentation.

Critical antigens identified by the MJPRRS Grouping Technology (E-Proteins) differ from the most common immune-stimulating antigens found in conventional killed or modified-live PRRSv vaccines (N-Proteins).

Each MJPRRS autogenous vaccine serial can include up to five virus strains to provide a broader scope of immune presentations as identified through MJPRRS grouping technology.

The combination of proper virus identification, strain selection, proprietary harvest and antigen presentation techniques made possible by the MJPRRS grouping technology and autogenous vaccine will actively support the PRRSv control program on your farm.
