Comparison of host genetic factors influencing pig response to infection with two North American isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
Download2016-01-01
Hess, Andrew S., Islam, Zeenath, Hess, Melanie K., Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Doeschl-Wilson, Andrea, Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most important swine diseases in the world and genetic selection of pigs for increased resistance to PRRS is an attractive method to improve the health status of the swine herd. This study compared phenotypic and...

Download2018-01-01
Waide, Emily H., Tuggle, Christopher K., Serao, Nick V. I., Schroyen, Martine, Hess, Andrew, Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Plastow, Graham, Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Genomic prediction of the pig’s response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) would be a useful tool in the swine industry. This study investigated the accuracy of genomic prediction based on porcine SNP60 Beadchip data using training and validation datasets...
