Abstract
A nucleotide sequence is provided for the VR-2332 virus, which is capable of causing Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome. The nucleotide sequence includes protein coding regions that are inserted into recombinant vectors for the host expression of viral proteins according to a variety of vaccination techniques. Diagnostic assays utilize fragmentary sequences or oligonucleotides to selectively identify the VR-2332 nucleic acids by hybridization or PCR amplification reactions that distinguish VR-2332 nucleotide sequences from other PRRS-causative viruses which are immunologically distinct from VR-2332.
