Health restart: the power of depopulation and repopulation to restore profitability
When losses and costs from poor health threaten the current and future farm profitability, perhaps a “clean slate” should be considered.

In healthy animals, PCV2 stays under the radar, causing little harm. But with coinfections that activate the immune system, the virus replicates more and becomes more damaging.
Professor Nauwynck has been researching PCV2 virus since the emergence of PCV2-associated diseases. PCV2 caused a serious crisis in global swine health that was ultimately addressed through the development and mass deployment of effective PCV2 vaccines. He is an excellent connoisseur of this small virus that continues to surprise us.
Hans Nauwynck defines himself as a veterinary virologist, a person who works in a laboratory setting, doing precise work, like a surgeon, aiming to gain a better understanding of how animal viruses interact with their target cells. But it is much more. His deep understanding of the biological behavior of viruses allows him to fluently explain many of the “whys” that are so important for a better understading of the pathogenesis of viral diseases and the development of effective control strategies.
Swine Protect & Connect™ advances precision swine health management by integrating intradermal vaccination (PORCILIS®), needle-free delivery (IDAL™), and animal-level traceability (LeeO) to help maximise swine production.
The new vaccine is based on the PCV2d genotype, the most circulating one in the field and on the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) strain BA 2940.
We'd like to thank all the users who participated in the PCV-2 vaccine survey and congratulate the winners of the drawing.

Dr. Nauwynck reviews with us the main gaps in PRRSV research and how he envisions the future of this disease regarding diagnostic technologies and vaccination strategies.
A discussion of the different micro and macroscopic lesions caused by PRRSV, PCV-2, swine flu virus, and porcine respiratory coronavirus.
The world of viruses is dynamic. Their epidemiology varies according to our actions. New strains and new serotypes appear. Are we prepared?
It has been 20 years since wasting disease appeared. Are vaccines still effective? Has the disease's epidemiology changed? Should we be concerned about new PCV2 strains or PCV3?
In the years since the PCV-2 vaccine was introduced to solve the enormous problem caused by circovirus, what do you think has changed and how does it affect farms?
