Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) emerged in North America and Europe in the 1980’s as a new viral disease of swine. PRRSV now is endemic in swine-rearing regions essentially worldwide. A better understanding of the mechanisms of genetic change may help to elucidate its evolutionary history and emergence as a swine pathogen.
