The aim was to analyze the reason and epidemic trend of PRRSV, and provide theoretical basis for preventing and controlling PRRSV. According to the sequence of ATCC VR-2332 strain porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus published by the GenBank, the primers were designed and synthesized. ORF₅ gene sequences of seven prevalence strains were amplified by RT-PCR. The sequences of ORF₅ genes were analyzed by DNAStar and compared with those of ATCC VR-2332, CH-1a, BJ-4, TV-M96262 and MTV vaccine strains, phylogenetic tree among isolates was analyzed. The variation of prevalence strains was great in the ORF₅ gene region, the homology of ORF₅ gene sequence was higher and genetic relationship was nearer during prevalence strains in the same region, or was far in different regions.
