We studied the persistence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in individual experimentally infected pigs, during a period of up to 150 days postinfection (dpi). The results of this study suggest that the persistence of PRRSV involves continuous viral replication but that it is not a true steady-state persistent infection. The virus eventually clears the body and seems to do it in most of the animals by 150 dpi or shortly thereafter. High genetic stability was seen for several regions of the persistent PRRSV's genome, although some consistent mutations in the genes of envelope glycoproteins and M protein were also observed.
我们研究了猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)在实验性感染的个体猪体内的持续性,感染后长达150天(dpi)。本研究结果表明,PRRSV的持续性涉及病毒的持续复制,但并非真正的稳态持续性感染。该病毒最终会清除出体内,并且在大多数动物中似乎在150 dpi或之后不久就会清除。尽管在包膜糖蛋白和M蛋白基因中也观察到一些一致的突变,但持续性PRRSV基因组的几个区域具有高度的遗传稳定性。
