==Aetiology==

−

The virus that causes ~~PRRS~~ is an arterivirus, within the [[:Category:Arteriviridae|Arteriviridae]] family. The arteriviruses are the only genus contained within the Arterivirdae family, and other members include the agent responsible for [[Equine Viral Arteritis|equine viral arteritis]] and lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus of mice. The viruses are host-specific and antigenically distinct, and establish persistent infections after invasion.
