The research team has 13 staff members, including 7 professors, 5 associate professors, 1 research assistant and 52 graduate students (including 6 doctoral students and 46 master students).

The research team mainly focuses on the pathogens of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Porcine Pseudorabies, Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea and other diseases related to porcine viral reproductive disorders, which seriously endanger the pig industry, and focuses on the following three aspects:

1. Study on molecular epidemiology and genetic variation mechanism of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus, Porcine Pseudorabies Virus and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, etc., to isolate and identify new mutated strains and new pathogens, and to explore the relevant mechanism of virus genetic variation and pathogenicity change.

2. Study on pathogenicity and immune mechanism of porcine viral reproductive disorders: Carry out research on infection and pathogenic mechanism of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus, Porcine Pseudorabies Virus and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, excavate virus virulence-related genes and functions, explore the molecular mechanism of virus-host interaction, and analyze the mechanism of immunosuppression and immune escape caused by virus infection.

3. Research and development of new genetic engineering vaccines and diagnostic technologies for important viral diseases of pigs: In view of the problems existing in the available prevention and control technologies for important viral reproductive disorders of pigs, research and development of new genetic engineering vaccine products and diagnostic technologies against such as Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome and Porcine Pseudorabies, optimize the disease prevention and disease resistance of new vaccine products, and promote the transformation and application of new products and control technologies.
