TI  - Is There a Risk for Introducing Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome 
      Virus (PRRSV) Through the Legal Importation of Pork?

AB  - Since the appearance of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 
      (PRRSV) in the late 1980s, the virus has become endemic throughout the world, 
      with only the countries of Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Australia, and 
      New Zealand historically free of PRRS virus. Biosecurity is maintained largely 
      through restrictions on the importation of pigs and semen. The risk for a PRRSV 
      outbreak via the legal importation of fresh/chilled/frozen pork from 
      PRRSV-positive countries remains controversial. However, examination of the 
      historical record shows that countries retained a PRRSV-negative status during 
      the importation of more than 500,000 tons of fresh/chilled/frozen pork from 
      PRRSV-positive trading partners. This review describes some of the unique 
      properties of PRRSV, including the poor stability of the virus in the 
      environment, the low probability for airborne transmission, and the inability to 
      sustain infections in feral swine, which make PRRSV a poor candidate for disease 
      introduction through the legal importation of pork.
