Abstract:

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is a viral infectious disease caused by Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV). The disease is one of the three most important diseases affecting the healthy development of pig industry in China. At present, the prevention and control of the disease mainly depends on the internal and external biosecurity system of the farm, taking reasonable measures to reduce the pollution of the virus, and cutting off the circulation and transmission of the virus among pigs. From the perspective of protecting susceptible animals, breeding for disease resistance is also one of the major strategies for disease prevention and control. In recent years, with the development and maturity of gene editing technology, molecular breeding, as the core technology of pig disease resistance breeding, has shown its unique advantages. Several teams have made many breakthroughs in PRRS resistance breeding by using molecular breeding technology. This article takes the PRRSV receptor as the entry point, and reviews the current research status of pig PRRS-resistant breeding, aiming to provide reference and clues for the prevention and control of PRRS and the research of pig disease-resistant breeding.

Key words: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, pig, disease-resistant breeding, CRISPR/Cas9
