About this episode
In this episode of the Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Bob Rowland from the University of Illinois shares key insights on the genetics behind PRRS resilience in pigs. He discusses the development of CD163-edited pigs and how understanding virus-host interactions can support future strategies. Discover how genome research is contributing to swine health innovation. Listen now on all major platforms!"We all know that CD163 is the receptor for PRRS, and when we knocked it out, the pigs were completely resistantโno infection, no antibodies, no virus replication."๐ ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐๐ฒ๐๐: Dr. Bob Rowland is Professor and Head of the Department of Pathobiology at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. He holds a Ph.D. and has led major research on genetic resistance to PRRSV, PCV, and ASFV. With over 160 publications, he brings vast expertise in virus-host interaction and genome editing in pigs.Liked this one?
