Characterizing more sample types similarly offers veterinarians and producers additional validated sample options for PRRSV surveillance in this subpopulation of pigs. Oral swab sampling is relatively easy and convenient; however, there is sparse information on how it compares to the reference sample type for PRRSV surveillance under field conditions. Therefore, this study's objective was to compare the PRRSV reverse-transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-rtPCR) test outcomes of oral swabs (OS) and sera samples obtained from weaning-age pig litters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At an eligible breeding herd, six hundred twenty-three weaning-age piglets from 51 litters were each sampled for serum and OS and tested for PRRSV RNA by RT-rtPCR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results and Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PRRSV RT-rtPCR positivity rate was higher in serum samples (24 of 51 litters, 83 of 623 pigs, with a mean cycle threshold (Ct) value of RT-rtPCR-positive samples per litter ranging from 18.9 to 32.0) compared to OS samples (15 of 51 litters, 33 of 623 pigs, with a mean Ct of RT-rtPCR positive samples per litter ranging from 28.2 to 36.9); this highlights the importance of interpreting negative RT-rtPCR results from OS samples with caution. Every litter with a positive PRRSV RT-rtPCR OS had at least one viremic piglet, highlighting the authenticity of positive PRRSV RT-rtPCR tests using OS; in other words, there was no evidence of environmental PRRSV RNA being detected in OS. Cohen's kappa analysis (Ck = 0.638) indicated a substantial agreement between both sample types for identifying the true PRRSV status of weaning-age pigs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2023.1072682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T08:43:26Z","timestamp":1675413806000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluating oral swab samples for PRRSV surveillance in weaning-age pigs under field conditions"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Onyekachukwu Henry","family":"Osemeke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"VanKley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"LeFevre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel C.
