AB  - In human and veterinary medicine, there have been multiple reports of pathogens 
      being airborne under experimental and field conditions, highlighting the 
      importance of this transmission route. These studies shed light on different 
      aspects related to airborne transmission such as the capability of pathogens 
      becoming airborne, the ability of pathogens to remain infectious while airborne, 
      the role played by environmental conditions in pathogen dissemination, and 
      pathogen strain as an interfering factor in airborne transmission. Data showing 
      that airborne pathogens originating from an infectious individual or population 
      can infect susceptible hosts are scarce, especially under field conditions. 
      Furthermore, even though disease outbreak investigations have generated important 
      information identifying potential ports of entry of pathogens into populations, 
      these investigations do not necessarily yield clear answers on mechanisms by 
      which pathogens have been introduced into populations. In swine, the aerosol 
      transmission route gained popularity during the late 1990's as suspicions of 
      airborne transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 
      (PRRSV) were growing. Several studies were conducted within the last 15 years 
      contributing to the understanding of this transmission route; however, questions 
      still remain. This paper reviews the current knowledge and identifies knowledge 
      gaps related to PRRSV airborne transmission.
