The PRRS mapping project in Ontario will allow the transmission of PRRS to be better understood. Currently 63 producers are involved, but to have accurate results it is important to have as many farms as possible participate – both positive and negative for PRRS. The mapping project involves questionnaires, PCR testing, PRRS sequencing, and GPS mapping. The project will help explain transmission, and also document the variety of types of PRRS.
