Host–pathogen interactions and genetic tools for resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus Prof Ioannis TzanetakisPorcine reproductive and respiratory virus (PRRSV) is responsible for serious losses to the global pig industry and is emblematic of the modern infection disease problem. Respiratory disease caused by PRRSV is the result of a complex interaction of the virus with lung macrophages. PRRSV is unique because it is one of the few pathogens in pigs in which genetic approaches are being actively pursued as a mechanism to lessen the impact of the disease.
