AB  - Porcine reproductive and respiratory disease (PRRS) is an economically important 
      disease around the globe; it has been estimated to cost the swine industry in USA 
      approximately 560 million US dollars annually. It is well established that PRRS 
      is caused by an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus known as 
      porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The inability to 
      successfully control PRRS across farms via traditional methods (e.g. vaccine and 
      animal flow) has led to a growing interest in area-based eradication. Important 
      to such an initiative is information on PRRSV transmission within and between 
      herds and intervention strategies to prevent its spread. This paper will review 
      the current literature on selected areas of PRRS known to be important to the 
      topic of pathogen elimination, including etiology, clinical manifestations, 
      direct and indirect routes of transmission, as well as discuss measures for 
      disease control, prevention and eradication.
