Abstract_ Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus PRRSV causes a prolonged economically devastating infection in pigs and immune resistance to infection appears variable. Since the porcine adaptive immune system is not fully competent at birth we hypothesized that age influences the dynamics of PRRSV infection. Thus young piglets growing 16-20-week-old finisher pigs and mature third parity sows were infected with virulent or attenuated PRRSV and the dynamics of viral infection disease and immune response were
