PRRSV is a viral disease that causes reproductive failure in animals and respiratory disease that occurs in pigs. This is a very significant disease that has disastrous economic effects on the U.S. swine production, which is why so many people are worried about how to eliminate PRRSV.
This virus can occur in pigs of all ages. While it is more obvious when sows are affected by reproductive failure or impairment, it can also happen to boars as well. Respiratory syndrome is most often seen in younger pigs but can occur in breeding stock and finishing pigs. While only in a few countries in the 1980s, PRRS is now a worldwide problem. In the U.S., it is both endemic and epidemic.
The first outbreak in the US was in 1987-88 but a few years later, it had been reported in Europe, Canada, and other countries. This disease was first called a syndrome and was often confused with other diseases. While there has been a lot of research completed on the PRRS virus in the past two decades, there is still a lot of confusion regarding controlling the disease. This disease affects producers and entire systems have been designed to help eliminate or control the spread of the PRRS virus.
This virus is an RNA virus. The U.S. virus is distinct from the European isolate while they are still related. While the virus can be easily inactivated with disinfectant, phenol, and formaldehyde, it is only a little resistant to regular environmental degradation.
This virus is able to persist for a very long time in carrier pigs. More than 200 days is not uncommon but most pigs will become immune around two months and stop shedding the virus. Shedding is the most common form of infection in a population as the virus is very infectious. It is present in semen, urine, feces, and mammary secretions.
Sows can deliver piglets that are already infected and boars can infect dams while breeding. This makes it very important for researchers to learn more about how to stop PRRS virus transmission.
Once transmission of the virus has occurred, it will infect the body and cause pneumonia while making the lungs more susceptible to other pathogens. It can cross the placenta in late gestation and can kill a fetus. Abortions are common and recovered sows can be re-infected.
Not all pigs infected with PRRS display clinical signs. The signs will vary depending on the age of the pig, other diseases, herd size, the age of the infection, and the virulence of the PRRS virus. Boars, sows, and gilts all can experience anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, fever, and depression. Reproductive problems are a common sign and piglet mortality is high.
Younger and finishing pigs will experience depression, fever, lethargy, stunted growth, and depression. Some common first symptoms to watch for are lethargy, sneezing, and fever. Post-weaning mortality is common, especially when the strain is highly virulent and when it causes additional infections.
An infection results in lesions in the lymph nodes and lungs. The lymph nodes will be swollen and cystic.
Porcine Syndrome is very dangerous and can quickly kill a group of pigs. It’s best to detect this virus during the early stages. Aborted piglets can be tested to rule out infections and fresh tissue can also be used to detect PRRS.
There’s no one way to control PRRS because the virus varies so much and is transmitted so easily. Smaller herds can be controlled while larger ones are much more difficult to manage. The goal is often to stabilize the infection by creating immunity in the breeding animals. This will prevent reproductive failure and makes it less likely for piglets to be born with the virus.
Boars need to be quarantined when introduced to a herd and offspring and sows need to be treated or removed from the herd. Some vaccines are available but they are not consistently effective. Cleaning the facilities can be useful as well.
It is very difficult to kill PRRS virus , which is why other treatment options are important. Using an Odorox/Pyure Hydroxyl Generator air machine in the space can help to eliminate bacteria, odor, and viruses in the air and on surfaces. This is a great way to control the spread of PRRS and keep your herd healthy.
No More Coughing!! 5/25/2021
Every year, I get a "cough," which ranges from somewhat annoying to almost incapacitating and lasts for three weeks to 4 months!. At its best, the persistent cough is annoying to me and those around me and, at worst, has me moments from passing out from coughing so hard and so long. I keep the Hydroxyly Processors running 24 x 7, and they are quiet and unobtrusive. Over the years, I have visited no less than 13 different doctors, from General Practitioners to Pulmanlogists to Cough Specialists at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. Nobody nor anything had alleviated the cough. I have tried multiple in-office and home therapies, a myriad of various drugs, breathing exercises, and more.
Just less than two years ago, after reading about Hydroxyl processors and their health benefits, I obtained two MySpace room Hydroxyly Processors/Air purifiers and began using the Pyure MySpace Hydroxyly processor machines, both in my office and at home. I am incredibly thrilled to say unequivocally that I have not coughed in just shy of two years! A secondary benefit cropped up. I used the OdoroxAir machine to destroy viruses, molds, bacteria but then found out that it also destroys COVID; wow!. The devices are small enough to pack in a suitcase or through in the car, and I have taken the MySpace to Florida (twice), using it in hotel rooms and a week in an Airbnb.
This MyaSpace machine and OdoroxAir have both been godsends, protecting my family and me from COVID and alleviating a close to 10 year-long mystery of chronic coughing. In addition, my wife gets Bronchitis often; she also has a recurring history of Bronchitis; she also has had no coughing, and of course, COVID free even before we had the vaccine.
We are building a new home, and we intend to incorporate an Odorox®/Pyure IDU™ Model into the HVAC system in the house. Worth every cent for not only wellness, but peace of mind: that our home will be free of everything from VOCs to Mold, bacteria, MRSA, COVID, smells, viruses, and more.
I can say that I Highly recommend both OdoroxAir and Pyure Hydroxyl processors.

Below is a brief testimonial outlining my experience with Hydroxyl Environmental's MDU (Mobile Disinfectant Unit). My mother suffered a diabetic stroke in Feb, 2005. Her blood sugars have been a constant battle since that date. She survives on a feeding tube. Our family provides home care for my mother at my sisters. In the evenings her blood sugars would jump to 25-28 and first thing in the morning they would test around 12-18 (5-6 is normal range). She also had an issue with an air pump that keeps her mattress inflated to help prevent bed sores.
In the summer of 2007 her air pump failed and we had to wait nearly a week for a replacement. During that time mom suffered a bed sore on her spine. In short order the sore grew to approximately 16 inches in length and was open nearly 1.5" at the widest point. It took our wound nurse incredibly countless hours to try and close this wound that in most cases ends in a fatality. This sore persisted for nearly six months before we were successful in closing it with the use of a vacuum. In the early part of this year we experienced another bed sore. Actually two, one on each heel as a result of an air mattress pump failure again.
This time a friend of mine spoke about the MDU that had helped others with medical issues. We had nothing to lose so we installed it in my mother's bedroom. Almost immediately our mothers breathing began to improve and within days my sister and niece reported my mother's blood sugars had returned to levels under 10, a spectacular improvement comparative to her results these past three years.
After only two weeks there were significant signs her bed sores on her heels were healing weeks ahead of her previous bout. I don't know what the significance of the MDU unit is other than to tell you it has performed way beyond our wildest expectations. I will and do recommend this technology to anyone seeking improved health regarding breathing, bed sores, or blood sugars if they are an issue. I wish I was more scientific about our results but the proof is clearly in the Hydroxyl MDU unit........
Test one today, the results will last a lifetime!
Sincerely,
Dennis Osborne
