During the first part of this discussion, in the previous episode, Dr. Jianqiang Zhang talked about the different success rates of virus isolation when it comes to MARC-145 and ZMAC Cell Lines. In today’s episode, he discusses how often we may find unexpected viruses in clinical samples for virus isolation. This research is crucial for diagnostics, vaccine production and thus, the control of PRRS and reduction of its impact on the swine industry.
