Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to mutate, causing disruptive PRRS outbreaks in farms that lead to reproductive failure and respiratory disease-associated mortality. We present four new PRRSV type 2 variants in the United States belonging to four distinct orf5 sublineages within lineage 1.
