Welcome to the

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Database

The database was developed to provide bioinformatic data and tools for web-based analysis of PRRSV nucleotide sequence. At present, the database primarily consists of PRRSV field isolates that have been evaluated for nucleotide sequence encoding the viral attachment protein, encoded by open reading frame 5. The sequence database can be easily mined for field isolate information based on year of isolation, geographic location of isolation, and other sequence traits.

Contributions to the database were made by the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, the Manitoba Veterinary Services Branch, the South Dakota Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory, and the Center for Biomedical Research Informatics at the University of Minnesota, the National Pork Board PRRS Initiative and an integrated program project grant developed by members of the North-Central 229 Multi-state PRRS Project funded by the USDA National Research Initiative.
