The laboratory diagnosis of the Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome (PRRS) is mainly based on the use of serological ELISA tests and PCR diagnostics.

The aim of this study was to assess the specificity of a commercial ELISA test. In particular, the specificity of the test is compared in two different subpopulations: adult breeding sows and young pigs.
