Abstract
A rapid multiplex PCR assay was developed to distinguish between North American and European genotypes of porcine reproductive and respirato ry syndrome (PRRS) virus after a portion of the polymerase gene (open reading frame 1b) was sequenced for two North American PRRS virus stra ins. DNA products with unique sizes characteristic of each genotype we re obtained.
