Pathogen Detection of Sow Reproductive Disorder Disease
and Identification of Relevant Strain in a Swine Farm in Xinjiang
In April 2018,some symptoms of reproductive disorders,such as abortion,stillbirth and mummified fetus,appeared in a large number of sows in a scaled breeding farm in Xinjiang. In order to identify all related causes,some fetal tissues and abortive secretions from sows were sampled to detect porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV),pseudorabies virus(PRV),porcine parvovirus(PPV)and toxoplasma gondii through normal PCR,RT-PCR and real time PCR technology respectively. The results showed that the samples were positive for PRRSV,and negative for PRV,PPV and Toxoplasma gondii. The NADC30-like strain of PRRSV was identified in the farm by NSP2,the specific primer of PRRSV. Besides,the reproductive disorders in the farm may be mainly caused by the NADC30-like strain,indicating that the new strain had been spreading to Xinjiang and begun to bring great harm to local pig-production industry. In view of that,some references were hereby provided for investigating the causes of sow reproductive disorders in Xinjiang.
