Simultaneous PCV2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae co-inoculation does not potentiate disease in conventional pigs
Under the conditions of the present study, concurrent inoculation of PCV2 and Mhyo did not result in potentiation of clinical signs and lesions attributed to either infection.
Update on the diseases associated with the PCV2: clinic, diagnosis and control
The PCV2 has been associated, in an ongoing way and throughout time, with more pathologies called, collectively, diseases associated with the PCV2 (PCVDs): PCV2 systemic disease, PCV2 lung disease, PCV2 enteric disease, PCV2 reproductive disease,PCV2 subclinical infection and porcine dermatitis and nephropaty syndrome.
Infectious risk factors for individual postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) development in pigs from affected farms in Spain and Denmark.
The present study reflects the complex interaction among different pathogens and their effects in order to trigger PMWS in PCV2 infected pigs.
Updating on the epidemiology of PCV2 and implications
Novelties about the excretion routes, the transmission routes, the risk factors, etc., and explanation about how the PCV2 becomes a pathogenic virus.
Cost of post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome and PCV2 subclinical infection – a stochastic economic model
The model highlights the importance of the cost of subclinical cases, usually understimated.
Preliminary study of Porcine circovirus type 2 and Torque teno sus virus coinfection frequencies in Brazilian pig herds
Given the limited information on TTSuV and PCV2 coinfection, especially in Brazilian swine herds, this study made a preliminary estimation of the occurrence of coinfection in swine herds by testing samples from different categories.
Effect of the viraemia due to the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) on production parameters
The most effective way of avoiding the production losses associated with the PCV2 consists in avoiding the appearance of the viraemia by inducing a passive or an active immunity that minimizes the circulation of the virus in the farm.
Fetal infections and antibody profiles in pigs naturally infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)
In conclusion, even on farms with sows that have high PCV2 antibody titers, vertical transmission of PCV2 may occur, resulting in piglet infection.
Torque Teno sus virus type 2 (TTSuV2) loads in serum are increased in the background of diseases affecting the immune system
These studies indicate that TTSuV2 load in serum is up-regulated in PCVD and CSF, while this did not happen with TTSuV1.
Frequent questions about PCV2 infection of breeding herds
A summary of current knowledge to address frequently asked questions from producers and practitioners on PCV2-associated reproductive disease.
Now FosteraTM PCV offers flexible dosing to help prevent PCV2 viremia
Fostera™ PCV is the only PCV vaccine that can be incorporated into vaccination programs using either two doses or one to help prevent Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) viremia and help control lymphoid depletion.
Effects of a PCV2 subclinical infection upon immunological parameters following an ADV vaccination
Effects of a PCV2 sublinical infection following an ADV vaccination.
Interest of the serological tests related to PCV2
Given the high prevalence of the infection due to the PCV2 and its presence in healthy and sick animals, the serological tests against this pathogen have been questioned as a diagnostic test.
The impact of PCV2 infection on male reproductive organs of boars
The striking lesion found in the boar reproductive organs was edema of the epididymal head.
Detection and quantification of PCV2 and PCV2-antibodies in oral fluid from finisher pigs
The objective of the current study was to evaluate cotton ropes for collection and detection of PCV2 specific antibodies and DNA in oral fluid at pen level in finisher pigs.
