However, the understanding of PRRSV infection and pathogenesis is limited by its narrow host range. Pig is the unparalleled animal susceptible to PRRSV, but not well-suited for the study of long-term chronic infection or immune response in vivo because of their long breed- ing cvcle, size, high cost, and lack of biological materials.展开更多
