Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) has not yet been detected in Japan, we must operate under the assumption that the virus could eventually spread there. Through this research issue, we successfully developed a genetic diagnostic method detecting for HP-PRRSV RNA and typical (non-highly pathogenic) PRRSV RNA, respectively. The animal experiment using HP-PRRSV was first report in our country, thus we can provide the insights into their pathogenicity and the property of viral load of HP-PRRSV. Moreover, we clarify the immune response to the Japanese isolate was able to strongly alleviate subsequent manifestation of HP-PRRS. However, this also means that recognition of HP-PRRSV invasion in Japan may be difficult, as symptoms will not be obvious.
