  1. Evaluation of the efficacy of one dose of autogenous MJPRRS vaccine in nursery pigs Dr. Mark Wagner, DVM Fairmont Veterinary Clinic Fairmont, MN

  2. Purpose of study • Gain a better understanding of the role and efficacy of using the autogenous MJPRRS vaccine in controlling or managing PRRS virus

  3. Trial data to be presented • Trial #1 • Vaccination of PRRS naïve pigs at 21 days of age and challenge with field virus at 32 days post vaccination • Trial #2 • Similar repeat of trial #1, pigs challenged at 28 days post vaccination • Trial #3 • Vaccination of PRRS viremic pigs at peak viremia

  4. Trial design • Challenge material • Virulent field virus with a 1-18-2 RFLP • Group D-4 under MJPRRS virus grouping system • Preparation of virus material • A 21 day old PRRS naïve pig inoculated with the 1-18-2 field virus • Serum collected 5 days post inoculation and frozen • An aliquot of serum inoculated on cell culture and harvested 7 days later, then frozen

  5. Trial design • Analysis of challenge material • Sequencing completed to confirm 1-18-2 virus • Quantitative PRRS PCR’s completed along with TCID50’s

  6. Trial design • Challenge dose • Trial #1 • 0.5ml IM plus 0.5ml IN (serum material = 100 viruses) (culture material = 1,000 viruses) • Trial #2 • 0.5ml IM plus 0.5ml IN (culture material = 1,000 viruses) • Trial #3 • 0.05ml IM plus 0.5ml IN (serum material = 55 viruses)

  7. Trial design • Vaccination protocol • Treatment group • MJPRRS • 2ml dose that included 10% extra adjuvant (final 20%) • Mycoplasma • 2ml dose • Control groups • Mycoplasma • 2ml dose

  8. Trial design • Data collection included • Body temperature • Virus replication based on PRRS Q-PCR’s • Mortality • Average daily gain weight

  9. PRRS virus replication data: Data compiled for Trial #1, Trial #2, and Trial #3

  10. Summary PRRS virus replication in MJPRRS vaccinated compared to non-vaccinated 21 day old PRRS naïve pigs when challenged to a field virus at 53 and 49 days old (Trial #1 & #2 data) * ORF6 Copies per ml by Quantitative PCR #Infective Virus Particles calculated per ml based on Q-PCR

  11. Summary of PRRS virus replication in 26 day old PRRS viremic pigs vaccinated with MJPRRS vaccine at the peak of viremia compared to non-vaccinated controls (Trial #3 data) * ORF6 Copies per ml by Quantitative PCR # Infective Virus Particles calculated per ml based on Q-PCR

  12. Average daily gain data: Data compiled for Trial #1 and Trial #2

  13. Summary of Average Daily Gain (ADG) performance in MJPRRS vaccinated compared to non-vaccinated 21 day old PRRS naïve pigs when challenged to a field strain of PRRS at 53 days of age (Trial #1 data) * All pigs challenged with PRRSvat 32 days post arrival (53 days of age) # ADG affected by mortality; Vaccinated group, 1 of 22 dead Non-vaccinated group, 4 of 22 dead

  14. Summary of Average Daily Gain (ADG) performance in MJPRRS vaccinated compared to non-vaccinated 21 day old PRRS naïve pigs when challenged to a field strain of PRRS at 49 days of age (Trial #2 data) * All pigs challenged with PRRSvat 28 days post arrival (49 days of age)

  15. Mortality data: Data compiled for Trial #1, Trial #2, and Trial #3

  16. Summary of Mortality in MJPRRS vaccinated compared to non-vaccinated 21 day old pigs when challenged to a field strain of PRRS at 53 or 49 days of age (Trial #1 and #2 data) Overall mortality for non-vaccinated groups, 18.2% Overall mortality for vaccinated groups, 4.5%

  17. Summary of Mortality in 26 day old PRRS viremic pigs vaccinated with MJPRRS vaccine at peak viremia compared to non-vaccinated controls (Trial #3 data) * 15 days post challenge

  18. Summary (I) • Virus Replication • For trial #1, a statistical reduction in virus replication shown between the MJPRRS vaccinates compared to the non-vaccinates at days 5 and 11 post challenge (p value = 0.04 and 0.0098, respectively) • For trial #2, no statistical difference noted • For trial #3, a statistical reduction in virus replication during vaccination at peak viremia at day 7 and 10 post vaccination (p value = 0.048 and 0.002, respectively)

  19. Summary (II) • Average Daily Gain (ADG) • For trial #1, no statistical difference noted Numerically: Vaccinates, Day 1-23 post challenge, 0.76 Non-Vaccinates, Day 1-23 post challenge, 0.89  High mortality in non-vaccinates likely affected ADG differences in calculation • For trial #2, A statistical difference (p value = 0.026) between MJPRRS vaccinated group vs. controls during Day 1-24 Numerically: Vaccinates, Day 1-24 post challenge, 0.74 Non-Vaccinates, Day 1-24 post challenge, 0.52

  20. Summary (III) • Mortality • For trial #1 • Vaccinates = 1 of 22 (4.5%) • Non Vaccinates = 4 of 22 (18%) • For trial #2 • No mortality in either group • For trial #3 • Vaccinates = 2 of 12 (16%) • Non Vaccinates = 3 of 12 (25%)

  21. Conclusions • Data demonstrated that PRRS naïve or viremic pigs were able to respond to one dose of autogenous MJPRRS vaccine with extra adjuvant. • A reduction on virus replication was statistically demonstrated (2 of 3 trials). • A numerical improvement in ADG was demonstrated (2 of 2 trials). A statistical difference noted also (1 of 2 trials). • A numerical improvement in Mortality was demonstrated (2 of 3 trials).
