PRRS is a disease that poses a significant challenge to the swine industry in the US. In that sense, on-farm decisions often rely on the accuracy of the final PCR testing results, making it crucial to obtain precise outcomes: the high demand for accurate PRRS diagnostic tests underscores the need for continuous advancements in diagnostic technology. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Berenice Munguia-Ramirez about her research on ways to improve PRRS PCR testing in swine, discussing the use endogenous controls in PCR to monitor sample quality and testing the impact of external factors on sample quality and PRRSV detection.Meet the guest: Dr. Berenice Munguia-RamirezExperience:Current: Graduate Research-Assistant at Iowa State UniversityPast: Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Technology of SonoraBackground:M.Sc., Veterinary Preventive Medicine (Iowa State University)D.V.M.
