چکیده
In the title of the article, the word “Vaccination” should be “Immunization.” The correct title is: Economic Analysis of Immunization Strategies for PRRS Control. The correct citation is: Linhares DCL, Johnson C, Morrison RB (2015) Economic Analysis of Immunization Strategies for PRRS Control. PLoS ONE 10(12): e0144265. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0144265 There is an error in the seventh sentence of the Abstract. The correct sentence is: Preventive vaccination of sow herds was beneficial when the frequency of PRRSv infection was at least every 1 year and 9 months. There are errors in Figs 3–5. Please see the corrected Figs 3–5 below.

The purposes of this study are to assess pig farmers' preference for highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) vaccine, and estimate the cost and benefit of PRRS vaccination in Vietnam. This study employed an integrated epidemiological and economic analysis which combined susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model, choice experiment (CE) and cost-benefit analysis ...

The objective of this study was to develop a discrete event agent-based stochastic model to explore the likelihood of the occurrence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) outbreaks in swine herds with different PRRS control measures in place. The control measures evaluated included vaccination with a modified-live attenuated vaccine and live-virus inoculation of gilts, and bot...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) is a swine-specific pathogen that causes significant increases in production costs. When a breeding herd becomes infected, in an attempt to hasten control and elimination of PRRSv, some veterinarians have adopted a strategy called load-close-expose which consists of interrupting replacement pig introductions into the herd for several w...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an elusive model of host/virus relationship in which disease is determined by virus pathogenicity, pig breed susceptibility and phenotype, microbial infectious pressure, and environmental conditions. The disease can be controlled by farm management programs, which can be supported by vaccination or conditioning of animals to circulating PR...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus is an enveloped positive-stranded RNA virus belonging to the order Nidovirales, family Arteriviridae, and genus Arterivirus.1 PRRS virus (PRRSV) is divided into type 1 (European) and type 2 (North American) genotypes on the basis of the 3ʹ-terminal structural genes or the entire genome.2,3 PRRS is one of the most devastating diseases of...
