Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Wilkinson, Jamie M., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Harding, John C. S., Bao, Hua, Lunney, Joan K.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant females causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variation in the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...
