Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze the projects of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) since 1995. The results demonstrated that the number of PRRSV funded by NSFC showed a general upward trend from 1995 to 2016, which increased most significantly from 2008 to 2015. The main bodies of the supporting institutions were universities, among them, Huazhong Agricultural University had the largest number of projects, while China Agricultural University had the largest total funds. In addition, the PRRSV research funded by NSFC mainly focused on veterinary infectious diseases. The number of projects directed by leaders who had two or more grants accounted for 43.8% of the total 128 projects. Papers published in Science Citation Index (SCI) journals covered heredity and variation, replication, pathogenesis, immune mechanism, as well as comprehensive prevention and control of PRRSV, indicating PRRSV research funded by NSFC has reached the international leading level.
