PRRSV diagnostics
• Definitions
• Reasons false positives or false negatives
• Setting cut off
• Conclusions

Diagnostics, definitions
• What has to be detected?
– Antigen• Different types• Different strains
– Antibodies• Different classes
![Page 5: PRRSV Diagnostics, specificity or sensitivity, that’s the question](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070414/56814e45550346895dbbbf2c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Diagnostics, definitions
• Setting up an assay– Depending on what has to be detected
• Antigen / Antibodies Which technique?• Matrix (blood, tissue, oral fluids, sperm, etc)
– Additional questions• Discrimination between field infected and vaccinated animals?• Discrimination between types / strains?• Detection limits?• Required sensitivity and specificity?• Regulations (national, OIE)?• ……

Diagnostics, definitions
• In what situation will the assay be used?
– Clinical diagnosis• Antigen present on farm, clinical cases from time to time
– Herd screening• Establishing herd status, clinical cases present or not
– Eradication• Elimination of agens from the farm
– Monitoring• Control of freedom of disease
– Vaccine control• Success of vaccination

Diagnostics, definitionsInfected
Yes No
TestResult
Positive a b a+b
Negative c d c+d
a+c b+d a+b+c+d
• Prevalence = a+c/a+b+c+d
• Sensitivity = a/a+c
• Specificity = d/b+d
• Predictive value positive = a/a+b
• Predictive value negative = d/c+d

Diagnostics, false positives and false negatives
• Selection of materials– ELISA antigen• Whole virus vs recombinants
– PCR primers• Type specific? General?
![Page 10: PRRSV Diagnostics, specificity or sensitivity, that’s the question](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070414/56814e45550346895dbbbf2c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Diagnostics, false positives and false negatives
• Reasons of false negative results– Test itself– Time of sampling (too soon or too late)– (Very) low level of antibodies / antigen– Immunosuppression– Prozone, high dose Hook effect
![Page 11: PRRSV Diagnostics, specificity or sensitivity, that’s the question](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070414/56814e45550346895dbbbf2c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diagnostics, false positives and false negatives
• Reasons of false positive results– Test itself– Cross reaction with antibodies against related
antigen – Cross reactions by other factors– Bridging, non-specific adhesion (fat)

Diagnostics, setting cut off
• Interpretation– Technical experimental samples– Diagnostic field samples
• Could be different!
• Baselines– Natural infected animals– Vaccinated animals

Conclusions, take home messages
• There is not one universal test
• Parameters Specificity and Sensitivity are important, but are competing against each other
• In different situation requirements are different, therefore parameters can change
• Evaluation of an assay should be done in each lab with respect of the purpose of the assay
