YOU ARE INVITED!
The PRRS International Symposium is an annual public meeting held immediately prior to the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD) and hosted by the NC-229 PRRS Committee.* Researchers, students, swine health specialists, and pork producers interested in PRRS virus research are invited to attend.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus is the most economically significant disease of swine in the U.S. A recent study estimated that PRRS virus causes $560 million in losses each year to the industry (Neumann et al., 2005). By comparison, annual losses in the U.S. to classical swine fever (hog cholera) and pseudorabies were estimated at $364 million* (Wise, 1981) and $36 million* (Hallam et al., 1987), respectively, prior to their eradication.
This meeting brings together an international group involved in all aspects of PRRS research. A broad range of topics - from field studies to highly technical investigations - will be discussed.
We are not currently soliciting scientific abstracts for presentations and poster displays. There is no charge for attending the 2007 International PRRS Symposium, but registration is required. Register for the meeting and submit abstracts through this Symposium website using the links at the top of the page after June 15, 2007.
