Porcine Circoviruses: A Review [PDF]
Porcine circoviruses (PCV) are small nonenveloped DNA viruses containing a unique single-stranded circular genome. Previously, no recognized link was found between PCV infection of pigs and disease, and PCV was considered a nonpathogenic agent. Over the last 5 years, a “novel” PCV, designated PCV2, has been associated with various disease syndromes in ...
