RT-PCR—reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; ICISM—intracerebral inoculation of suckling mice; HIA—hemagglutination inhibition assay; CSF—cerebrospinal fluid; CSFV—classical swine fever virus; PRRSV—porcine respiratory syndrome virus; PRV—pseudorabies virus; PPV—porcine parvovirus; sb—stillborn; RF—reproductive failure (abortion or at least one stillborn piglet in the litter).
