AB  - This study re-evaluated the role of fomites and personnel in the mechanical 
      transport and transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 
      (PRRSV) between pig populations. Swabs were collected from hands, boots, 
      coveralls, and other fomites following contact with infected pigs and compared 
      with identical samples collected in the absence of PRRSV exposure. Naive pigs 
      were provided contact with contaminated fomites/personnel and blood tested 
      periodically post-exposure [positive exposure population (PEP)] and compared with 
      populations that did not gain exposure via these routes [negative exposure 
      population (NEP)]. The majority of swab samples from hands, coveralls, and boots 
      from personnel and fomite samples (cable snare and bleeding equipment) following 
      contact with the PRRSV-infected Source Population. Transmission of PRRSV to the 
      PEP was observed (7/7) cases but not in the NEP. In conclusion, under the proper 
      conditions, transport and transmission of PRRSV by fomites and personnel may 
      occur between swine populations in the absence of intervention.
