Chile: the pig sector improves in matters of animal health
The Chilean pig sector is still improving in the strengthening of animal health through the implementation of prevention, control and eradication programmes.

Fatal disease associated with Swine Hepatitis E virus and Porcine circovirus 2 co-infection in four weaned pigs in China
We speculate that co-infection with PCV2 and HEV may bring some negative effect on pig production and recommend that more attention should be paid to this phenomenon.
Russia/ Canada: talks on cooperation in veterinary surveillance
The talks were devoted to the discussion of vital issues related to cooperation between the countries in veterinary surveillance and assurance of biological safety of mutually delivered animal products.
Origin of PCV2 type 2 from swine affected by PCV2-associated diseases in Croatia
PCV2b was the predominant genotype in Croatia and has been linked to international trade as a route of introduction.
Importance of sequential order of coinfection by PRRSV and PCV2
This article proves that, at least "in vitro" order matters. In PRRSV/PCV2 mixed infections, the consequences are worse when PRRSV infection occurs before or concurrently to PCV2 infection, than when the sequence is reversed.
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.
The influence on performance in fattening pigs of L. intracellularis and PCV2 infections as measured in feces by Q-PCR
Even in the absence of clinical signs, growth rate and feed intake are likely to be reduced by L. intracellularis infections. There is a trend that also PCV2 infections can exert a similar negative influence.
Vaccines and PCV2 evolution
Distinct PCV2 variants are circulating in commercial pig farms. How the vaccine induced immunity may affect PCV2 evolution?
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.
The presence of six potentially pathogenic viruses in pigs suffering from post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome
Co-infection with PRRSV enforces clinical signs of PMWS, the influence of other viral co-infections is not clear.
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.
Multiple routes of porcine circovirus type 2 transmission to piglets in the presence of maternal immunity
These findings illustrate the importance of maternal infection, despite robust anti-PCV2 immunity, in early infection of newborn piglets.
Effect of PCV2 vaccination on PCV2-viremic piglets after experimental PCV2 challenge
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccines on PCV2-viremic and -seropositive piglets born from naturally PCV2-infected sows against postnatal PCV2 challenge.
Vaccination failures in the control of PCV disease
The first cause of PCV vaccine failure is the purchase and use of generic vaccine of low quality and titre, but the exact cause of the failures can occur in various forms.
Influence of age on the effectiveness of PCV2 vaccination in piglets with high levels of maternally derived antibodies
The findings of this study have implications for future PCV2 vaccine testing and administration strategies.
Global gene expression profiling of myeloid immune cell subsets in response to in vitro challenge with PCV2b
PCV2b challenge increases the expression of a large number of immune-related and pro-apoptotic genes mainly in MoDC, which possibly explain the increased inflammation.
