First detection of porcine circovirus 4 (PCV-4) in Europe
The relatively high prevalence in wild boar and the low prevalence in Iberian pigs suggest wild boar as a potential viral reservoir.

333 Emerging voices - Comparative histopathological findings of diseased pigs infected with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and 3 (PCV-3)
PCV-2 and PCV-3 associated disease outcomes are distinguishable at a histopathological level. Final thesis at the College of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Joaquím Segalés.

Animal health company Medgene granted a second Platform technology license to provide solutions for pork producers.
First detection of porcine circovirus type 2e in Europe
This is the first report of the detection and genetic characterisation of the PCV-2e genotype in Europe, from sows on a farm in Italy.
Histological lesions and replication sites of PCV3 in pigs
This study investigated the association between the presence of PCV3 mRNA detected by in situ hybridization within histological lesions and PCV3 DNA detected by real-time PCR in naturally infected pigs.

Zoetis Receives European Commission Marketing Authorization for CircoMax® Myco
First PCV2 and M. hyopneumoniae combination vaccine in the EU for pigs that includes two PCV2 genotypes for broader coverage against continuously evolving Porcine Circovirus.
Should we be worried about PCV-3?
We are finding more evidence of the possible role PCV-3 plays in certain reproductive problems.
PCV-2d, PCV-2b, PCV-2a. How important are the differences between genotypes for veterinarians?
Serious problems occurred much less frequently with genotype a than with genotype b. Why did the frequency of these genotypes change?
Novel circovirus species Porcine circovirus 4 identified in pigs, China
Circovirus 4 was identified in several pigs with severe clinical disease in Hunan Province, China.
PCV3 is highly prevalent in serum and tissues and may persistently infect wild boar
Wild boar is susceptible to PCV‐3 infection, showing high frequency of detection in this animal species.
Exploring the benefits of PCV-2 blanket vaccination in sows
The average piglet birth weight from the 3 groups of vaccinated sows was statistically higher than that from the unvaccinated sows.
PCV2 viraemia, a load-dependent effect on average daily weight gain during the postweaning period
The loss associated with decreased ADWG was of 13.1 € and 7.5 €/pig at 21 weeks of age for pigs with high and medium serum PCV2 load under the scenario studied.
Seroprevalence of selected swine viral pathogens
The high seroprevalences found supports the feeling you get in the field that PCV2, PRRSV, and SIV are very widespread viruses in our farms.
PCV2 vaccination reduces antibiotic consumption in swine production
The benefit on antibiotic use is particularly clear when herds are multicontaminated by pathogenic virus and bacteria, allowing also to maintain animal welfare and operational productivity, but a good immunity against PCV2 is effective also in high health status herds.
DTH: A new option for checking the compliance of the vaccination against PCV2
It is a test that allows the verification of the carrying out and/or the quality of the vaccination in cases such as the entrance of piglets for their fattening.
