Abstract
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is one of the major diseases restricting the development of large-scale pig breeding industry, which has brought huge economic losses to pig industry. Although a lot of work has been done in vaccine development, biosafety and pig health, PRRSV is characterized by easy mutation and recombination of genome, immunosuppression, enhanced antibody dependence, persistent infection, etc., making the prevention, control and elimination of PRRSV very difficult. With the deepening of PRRSV research, it is gradually realized that screening and identifying PRRSV susceptibility/resistance genes and implementing PRRSV disease resistance breeding are long-term and effective strategies for fundamental prevention and control, which has important practical significance for the prevention and control of pig herds.
