DEF

An infectious viral disease of swine that is easily transmitted through direct contact to susceptible pigs and vertically to foetuses [...] it is characterised by reproductive failure of sows and respiratory distress of piglets and growing pigs. The characteristics of the reproductive failure are infertility, late foetal mummification, abortions, agalactia, stillbirths, and weak piglets that usually die shortly after birth due to respiratory disease and secondary bacterial infections [...]

CONT

This article briefly describes the PRRS (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome), which arose in the winter of 1990 in Germany and other European countries ... The clinical picture of this new disease, which led to important economical losses is dominated by 1. an increased rate of reduced length of pregnancy with late abortion before day 110 or an increased length of pregnancy; 2. an increase in stillborn piglets; 3. a larger scale of preweaning mortality combined with a higher frequency of secondary infections ... Pathological findings in piglets are subcutaneous edema, accumulation of fluids in the body cavities and sometimes interstitial pneumonia is observed ... At present a non-classified virus, isolated by Dutch researchers is proposed to be the causative agent and named Lelystad virus.
