Abstract

Some early reports concluded aerosol transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus between swine farms was unlikely, but most current information suggests the opposite; in many situations it may be the most important contamination source. Aerosol transmission can apparently occur over several km, but more information is required to confirm and better quantify possible distances.
