PG - 420-423 AB - A commercial porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) oral fluid antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used on 31 commercial swine farms in Ontario using oral fluid samples (~6 per herd) collected from cotton ropes. Using the manufacturer's cutoff [sample-to-positive ratio (S/P) >/= 0.4], 2 of 135 oral fluid samples from 23 PRRSV presumed negative herds tested positive (1.5% false positive rate). Three approaches to improving test diagnostic specificity were compared: i) use a cutoff of S/P >/= 0.8 for individual oral fluid samples; ii) use the current cutoff of S/P >/= 0.4 but use a mean S/P based on several oral fluid samples (6 samples were used in this study); and iii) use serial testing to resolve unexpected positive ELISA results, i.e., retest using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to determine whether low positive S/P ratios are the result of early PRRSV infection in a barn.
