Pseudorabies virus infections in pigs. Role of viral proteins in virulence, pathogenesis and transmission

W A Mulder et al. Vet Res. 1997.

Abstract

This paper reviews new findings on the biological functions of pseudorabies virus (PRV) proteins. It focuses on the role of PRV proteins in the pathogenicity, immunogenicity and transmission of PRV vaccine strains in pigs. Furthermore, it evaluates potential risks that are connected with the use of PRV vector strains. Special emphasis is placed upon the spread of genetically engineered vaccine strains within pigs or between pigs.
