| Abstract: | [Objective] To identify suspected cases of highly pathogenic PRRSV from a pig farm. [Method] The suspected cases of highly pathogenic PRRSV were conducted pathologic anatomy, the gene of PRRSV N protein was amplified by RT-PCR and its sequences were determined and analyzed. [Result] The nucleotide sequence of N protein of N7/N8 isolate shared the consistency of 97.0% with highly pathogenic strains(JXA1, Hu N4, SX-1 and TJ), and that of isolate N9 shared the consistency of 97.3% with highly pathogenic strains, indicating the infected virus in the pig farm was highly pathogenic PRRSV. [Conclusion] This research provides a reference for the diagnosis of highly pathogenic PRRSV infec-tion in swine production. |
