PRRS: still a big concern for the swine industry

PRRS still is a huge economic concern

  • Economic losses vary from € 59 to € 379 per sow during an outbreak1
  • Yearly cost of infected farms is around € 100 per sow1

PRRS is diffi cult to control:

  • Emerging circulation of variable fi eld strains worldwide
  • PRRS impairs immunity after infection:
    • Immune response is slow, delayed and often incomplete in comparison with other viral infections
    • Modified immune response after infection: increased susceptibility for other diseases
    • Immunity is aff ected by strain diff erences
    • Impaired reproductive and respiratory performances

PROGRESSIS®: boosting immunity in a PRRS positive environment

PROGRESSIS®: safety profile

  • No reverse to virulence possible (inactivated virus)
  • Approved for use during pregnancy and lactation2
  • Neither spread nor persistence of vaccine virus

PROGRESSIS®: efficacy by boosting immunity

  • Reduction of reproductive disorders caused by PRRS in a contaminated environment:
    • Reduction of early farrowings (Fig. 1)
    • Reduction of stillbirths (Fig. 1)
    • Reduction of the number of viraemic piglets at weaning5 (Fig. 2)

PRRS: immunity

Immunity against PRRS is based on both cell mediated and humoral immunity5

  • Induction of immunity is slow

    Both cell mediated and humoral immunity play a role in protection
     
    • First (non-neutralizing) antibodies are present 1 to 2 weeks after infection
    • Neutralizing antibodies are induced after 21 to 28 days
       
  • Some strains do not induce signifi cant levels of neutralizing antibodies
     
    • Cell mediated immunity (CMI) is slowly developing

PROGRESSIS® induces CMI and humoral immunity resulting in a broad and eff ective immune response

  • PROGRESSIS induces ELISA and seroneutralizing (SN) antibodies6

  • PROGRESSIS® induces a strong and early Cell Mediated Immunity (CMI)7
     
    • Induction of Interferon- secreting cells (INF-SC)
    • Against a broad range of PRRS fi eld strains, type 1 and type 2

Novelty: in vaccination

A new concept: Dual Technology Prime Boost (DTPB)9

  • Based on 2 diff erent types of vaccine with the same antigen (eg. MLV and KV vaccine for PRRS)
  • Overwhelming experience in diff erent species and infections11
  • Induction of broader and stronger immune response9
    DTPB immunization strategy results in10:
     
    • Strong cellular immune response
    • Higher and more specifi c antibody response compared to homologous immunization

 

DTPB can be more immunogenic compared to Homologous Prime Boost

Fig. 6. DTPB can be more immunogenic compared to Homologous Prime Boost.12

 

In a contaminated environment, PROGRESSIS® boosts the CMI induced by a live PRRS virus8

Boosting the immunity induced by a MLV vaccine by Progressis results in a signifi cantly higher CMI at 1 month after boost

Fig. 7. Boosting the immunity induced by a MLV vaccine by Progressis results
in a significantly higher CMI at 1 month after boost (p<0.05).

 

DTPB in practice: results from the field

Reproductive performance
In a 2000 sows farm in Belgium, implementing the DTPB concept with Progressis resulted in significant13:

  • Increased number of live born piglets
  • Reduced piglet mortality before weaning
  • Increased number of weaned piglets

These results were confirmed in several studies14,15,16

Improvement of reproductive results after implementation of DTPB program

Field monitoring

Reducing circulation of PRRS in a 1200 sow farrow to fi nish farm17

  • Before the implementation of the DTPB program, PRRS circulation was observed from 3 weeks of age onwards.
  • After implementation of the DTPB program, circulation was delayed and the infection was stabilized in sows and piglets.

Table 1. IDEXX PRRS S/P ratios in sera collected from piglets of 6 and 10 weeks of age before and 10 and 22 months after the start of the DTPB program in a 1200 FF farm17.

Progressis® Emulsion for Injection for Pigs (sows and gilts) contains Inactivated Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus, P120 strain. The product is indicated for the reduction of the reproductive disorders caused by Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (European strain) in a contaminated environment: vaccination reduces the number of early farrowings and the number of stillbirths. In PRRS infected herds, viral infection is heterogeneous and varies over time. In such context, the implementation of a vaccination program is a tool to improve the reproductive parameters and may contribute to the disease control in conjunction with sanitary measures. Amounts to be administered and administration route. One dose of 2 ml is administered by deep intramuscular route, in the neck muscles behind the ear, according to the following vaccination scheme. Primary vaccination:Gilts: 2 injections 3-4 weeks apart, at least 3 weeks before mating. Sows: 2 injections 3-4 weeks apart. Revaccination: One injection at 60-70 days of each gestation, as of the fi rst gestation following the primary vaccination. Withdrawal period: Zero days. Pharmaceutical precautions Use immediately after opening. Store in a refrigerator (2°C – 8°C). Do not freeze. Protect from light.
