Table 2. Mean number of days vaccinated, challenged pigs were pyrexic compared with non-vaccinated pigs post-challenge.
Treatment Group | PRRSV challenge dose (log10TCID50/mL) | Estimated mean number of days pyrexic | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No challenge | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||
PRRS Type 2 MLV | 1.8 | 1.4* | 1.0* | 4.2* | 4.4* | |
Non-vaccinated challenge control | - | 6.0 | 10.0 | 8.8 | 11.2 |
*Statistically significant difference (P <.05) in number days pyrexic between Type 2 PRRS. MLV and challenge control groups based on model prediction.
MLV = modified-live vaccine; PRRS = porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome; PRRSV = porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; TCID50 = 50% tissue culture infectious dose
