AB  - An experimental infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome 
      virus (PRRSV) was established in 150 five-month-old pigs housed in a 
      fan-ventilated finishing facility, the infected barn. To determine whether air 
      exhausted from the wall fans contained infectious PRRSV, a trailer containing 10 
      four-week-old PRRSV-naive sentinel pigs was placed 10 m from the building from 
      day 3 after the 150 pigs were infected until day 10. To connect the two 
      airspaces, one end of an opaque plastic tube, 15 m in length and 5 cm in 
      diameter, was fastened to the wall fan of the infected barn, and the other end 
      was placed inside the trailer. Air from the building was exhausted into the 
      trailer 24 hours a day for seven consecutive days and PRRSV infection was 
      monitored in the infected pigs and the sentinel pigs. Air samples were collected 
      from the infected barn and the trailer. PRRSV infection was detected in the 
      infected pigs three and seven days after they were infected, but not in the 
      sentinel pigs. All the air samples were negative for PRRSV by PCR, virus 
      isolation and a pig bioassay.
