NADC34-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 (NADC34-like PRRSV-2) is currently a major prevalent strain in Chinese swine industry. Within which, recombination events are frequently detected. Previous studies have shown that the pathogenicity of NADC34-like PRRSV-2 isolates is highly variable. However, the characteristics between NADC34-like PRRSV-2 recombinant and non-recombinant isolates are rarely compared. In this study, two PRRSV-2 strains (BJ1805-2 and SDLY23-1742) were isolated from samples collected at 2018 and 2023 in China. ORF5-based phylogenetic analysis supported that both isolates are clustered with ORF5 RFLP 1-7-4 (NADC34-like) strains. However, genome-based phylogenetic tree showed that BJ1805-2 is still grouped with NADC34-like isolates but SDLY23-1742 is clustered with NADC30-like viruses. Furthermore, fragment comparisons and recombination detections also supported that SDLY23-1742 was recombined from NADC30-like, NADC34-like, and JXA1-like isolates while no recombination event was detected in BJ1805-2. Noticeably, BJ1805-2 had higher replication efficacy than SDLY23-1742 both in PAMs and in piglets. However, SDLY23-1742 caused longer high fever period and more severe histopathological lung lesions than BJ1805-2, indicating that SDLY23-1742 has higher pathogenicity than BJ1805-2. Overall, this study provides the first evidence that the pathogenicity of NADC34-like PRRSV-2 is not directly correlated with viral replication efficacy.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) demonstrates a significantly high prevalence among swine populations. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with high affinity for conserved epitopes of PRRSV can facilitate the development of a broad-spectrum detection method for this virus. This study identified two PRRSV-specific mAbs, designated 2B1 and 2C6, which recognized two conformation-dependent epitopes through indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blot analysis.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the causative agent of a syndrome characterized by reproductive failure and respiratory complications (PRRS). Early detection and classification of PRRSV strains are vital for appropriate management strategies to minimize loss following outbreaks. The most widely used classification method for PRRSV is based on open reading frame 5 (ORF5) sequences.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the pathogen that causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), leading to abortion of sows and the manifestation of respiratory diseases in piglets. PRRSV strains are categorized into two distinct genotypes: PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2. PRRSV-2 can be further classified into several lineages, including sub-lineage 1.

Article Synopsis
  • PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome) is a major threat to the global swine industry, particularly in Sichuan, China, where data on its virus (PRRSV) was previously limited.* -
  • A study analyzed 1618 samples from 2021 to 2023, finding a 39.74% infection rate, with PRRSV-2 being the dominant strain at 95.65% and notable classifications within it, including the prevalent NADC30-like strains.* -
  • The research revealed significant genomic changes and immune evasion strategies in NADC30-like strains, along with complex recombination patterns that suggest these strains may become more widespread in the future.*
