Typing of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses by a multiplex PCR assay.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A rapid multiplex PCR assay was developed to distinguish between North American and European genotypes of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus after a portion of the polymerase gene (open reading frame 1b) was sequenced for two North American PRRS virus strains. DNA products with unique sizes characteristic of each genotype were obtained.
