Professor Chanhee Chae's research lab specializes in veterinary virology and parasitology, with a primary focus on economically significant pathogens affecting swine, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and Isospora suis. The lab conducts molecular diagnostics, histopathological studies, and retrospective epidemiological analyses to understand disease mechanisms, improve detection methods, and support effective disease control strategies in swine populations. Their work emphasizes the development and application of molecular techniques such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR for viral and parasitic detection in clinical and field samples.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) presents one of the challenging viral pathogens in the global pork industry. PRRS is characterized by two distinct clinical presentations; reproductive failure in breeding animals (gilts, sows, and boars), and respiratory disease in growing pigs. PRRSV is further divided into two species: PRRSV-1 (formerly known as the European genotype 1) and PRRSV-2 (formerly known as the North American genotype 2). A PRRSV-2 modified-live viru
