Conclusions
After a MLV primo-vaccination: INV re-vaccination induced a significant increase in the
development of cell-mediated immunity (memory
response).
The increase was significantly higher than MLV re-
vaccinated pigs.
After the challenge, MLV+INV+INV group developed
the highest PRRSv-specific immune responses (cell-
mediated immunity and neutralizing antibodies).

Build up immunity against PRRSv??
A new vaccination strategy
MERIAL approach
In our market MLV PRRS is the most often used vaccine
Still too many farms with problems
Merial’s new approach for these farms:
MLV and INV; use MLV as “conditioned field virus circulation”
Higher immunity due to memory cells: boostering
High MDA in combination with management improvements
(multi site, age segregation, batch management…) makes it
possible to produce PRRS negative off-spring from a PRRS
positive sow herd and reduce PRRS impact
Research on the prime + boost
concept
What is the fundamental effect on the prime + boost
concept in immunology / immunity, viremia and virus
circulation?
What is the effect on virus controle and disease controle?
What is the effect on reproduction in sows and
production in the piglets?
Alternative setups?

Introduction
PRRS is considered as the most important economic
viral disease of intensive swine production. It is
characterized by reproductive failure in sows and
respiratory disease and poor production in nursery
piglets. PROGRESSIS®
, an inactivated EU type PRRSV
vaccine, was shown to reduce the number of v iraemic
piglets, born from vaccinated sows (1). Additionally, it
has been shown that maternal immunity can protect
piglets during their nursery period by vaccination of
sows at day 60 (2) o r at day 90 of pregnancy with
PROGRESSIS (3). The present case report describes the
stabilization of a conventional swine farm infected with
PRRSV by vaccinating the sows and gilts during almost
2 years at day 60 with an EU type MLV vaccine and at
day 90 of gestation with PROGRESSIS.
Materials and Methods
This case involved a 1200-sow farrow-to-finish farm,
with 5 production lines of a recent date. Genetics are
Danbred sows x Piétrain. At the time of the problems,
the sows and gilts were vaccinated in block with a EU
type MLV PRRSV vaccine 3 times a year. The nursery
piglets were housed in 2 large buildings.
Results
In January 2012, severe problems associated with
PRRSV were d iagnosed. The problems included early
births, weak and death born piglets and problems in the
nursery room, bad production results (piglet mortality
around 4.5%) and increased use of antibiotics. At that
time, serological data (IDEXX ELISA) confirmed
circulat ion of PRRSV in sows and gilts (Table 1) and in
piglets (Table 2). PRRSV was also detected in blood by
PCR in piglets of 3 and 7 weeks of age.
Table 1. PRRSV S/P ratios in sera collected from sows
and gilts between Jan 2012 and Oct 2013 01/2012 11/2012 10/2013
Gilts 1.78 3.18 1.63
2.26 1.52 1.44
2.15 1.12 0.96
0.87 2.14 1.69
2.51 3.84 1.92
Sows 0.9 4.23 2.29

1.6 1.87 2.02
3.16 3.25 2.14
1.26 2.49 2.4
To solve these problems, the vaccination program in the
sows was adapted to vaccination with an EU type MLV
vaccine at day 60 combined with PROGRESSIS at day
90 of gestation.
In November 2012, around 11 months after the start of
the adapted vaccination program, a clinical and
serological stabilizat ion of PRRSV circulation in the
nursery piglets was observed (Table 2). At that time, the
serological pro file in sows and gilts was still indicative
for recent circulat ion of PRRSV (titers > 3). In October
2013, after 22 months of vaccinating all sows and gilts
repeatedly at day 90 of gestation with PROGRESSIS,
also the titers of the sows and the gilts became uniform
(Table 1), while S/P rat ios in pig lets at the end of
nursery remained low. At the end of 2013, the mortality
in the nursery was reduced to ≈ 2%.

Discussion and conclusion
After the start of the vaccination with PROGRESSIS at
day 90 of pregnancy, there was a relative quick recovery
of the production results in the nursery due to a lower
infection pressure. After 22 months, there was in
addition a remarkable stabilizat ion of the PRRSV
circulat ion in the sows and gilts. These results indicate
that the use of PROGRESSIS just before farrowing can
be an efficient tool to induce an increased maternally
derived immunity in piglets and to control virus
circulation at herd level in order to stabilize a herd.
