Researchers: J.C.M. Dekkers, A.S. Hess, Iowa State University Department of Animal Science; N.J. Boddicker, Genesus Inc., Canada; R.R.R. Rowland, Kansas State University Department of Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology; J.K. Lunney, USDA- ARS, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center; and G.S. Plastow, L.L. Guan and P. Stothard, University of Alberta Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science PRRS Host Genetics Consortium aims to identify genomic markers and pathways associated with host response to PRRSV infection; markers that could be used for genetic selection of pigs for increased resistance or reduced susceptibility to the virus. read more
