PG - 140-3 LID - 10.1111/j.1865-1682.2007.01001.x [doi] AB - Diagnosis of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is often performed by serological testing, but ELISA does not differentiate between infections with wild-type or vaccine virus. Two attenuated live vaccines [European (EU) or North American (NA) genotype] are used. In addition to wild-type isolates, vaccine or vaccine-derived viruses occur frequently. This is often not considered when the ELISA results are used to differentiate between epizootic and enzootic infections. In this study, an infection with the NA genotype vaccine-derived virus was detected in two herds previously PRRSV negative and ELISA results [sample to positive (s/p) ratios] were analysed. The virus was identified by RT-PCR and nucleotide sequences of ORF5 had 97% (herd A) and 99% (herd B) identity with the genome of a ML PRRSV vaccine belonging to the NA genotype. Pigs of different age became positive with an average s/p ratio of 2.24 (A) and 1.18 (B). The data clearly demonstrate that spontaneous infection with a vaccine-derived virus of the NA genotype induces ELISA s/p ratios similar to those induced by vaccination or by infection with wild-type virus. We conclude that for a correct interpretation of serological results the circulation of vaccine or vaccine-derived virus isolates has to be excluded by RT-PCR, even if vaccination is not ongoing.
