Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease of swine in the U.S. This meeting brings together an international group involved in all aspects of PRRS research; researchers, students, swine health specialists, and pork producers interested in PRRS virus research are all invited to attend. A broad range of topics - from field studies to highly technical investigations - will be discussed.
There is no charge for attending the 2008 International PRRS Symposium, but registration is required. Register for the meeting and submit abstracts through this Symposium website using the links at the top of this page. Abstract submission is open until Monday, August 25, 2008.
