Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of animal health and provides means to study Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), a viral disease affecting swine, and for the development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for the prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of PRRS. In a first consideration, the invention relates to a new PRRS virus variant. and, in a second consideration, to a nucleic acid sequence which comprises the genome of an infectious genotype I (EU) PRRS virus clone. Based on this, new PRRS vaccine candidates with improved properties are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) vectors comprising at least one exogenous antigen encoding sequence relating to a pathogen infecting food producing animals, wherein said exogenous antigen encoding sequence is inserted into an insertion site, preferably ORF70, and said exogenous antigen encoding sequence is operably linked to a promoter sequence, preferably the promoter sequence comprising 4pgG600 (SEQ ID NO:1) or 4pMCP600 (SEQ ID NO:2) or the complementary nucleotide sequences thereof or a functional fragment or a functional derivative thereof or the complementary nucleotide sequences thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for immunizing a food producing animal comprising administering to such food producing animal an immunogenic composition comprising embodiments of the present invention. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of clinical signs caused by swine influenza virus in a food producing animal.
