The high genetic diversity of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus has been an obstacle to developing an effective vaccine for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. This study was performed to assess the degree of geneic diversity among PRRSVs from Korean pig farms where wasting and respiratory syndrome was observed from 2005 to 2009.
