Table 1. Study design for a randomised, blinded, vaccination-challenge study.
Group | PRRS Type 2 MLV vaccinated pigs (n) |
Non-vaccinated challenge control pigs (n) |
PRRSV challenge dose (log10TCID50/mL) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 10 | 10 | <1.5 |
2 | 10 | 10 | 2 |
3 | 10 | 10 | 3 |

MLV = modified-live vaccine; n = number; PRRSV = porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; TCID50 = 50% tissue culture infectious dose
