Porcine circovirus 2 immunology and viral evolution [PDF]
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) has and is still causing important economic losses to pig industry. This is due to PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), formerly known as postweaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), which increases mortality rates and slows down the growth of the animals, as well as other conditions collectively included within the so ...

Genetic Characterization of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 from Pigs with Porcine Circovirus Associated Diseases in Argentina [PDF]
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) has been associated with syndromes grouped by the term porcine circovirus associated diseases (PCVAD). The PCV-2 isolates have been grouped into two major groups or genotypes according to their nucleotide sequence of whole genomes and/or ORF-2: PCV-2b, which have, in turn, been subdivided into three clusters (1A–1C ...

Cap Is the Protease of the Porcine Circovirus 2. [PDF]
Circoviruses are the smallest single-stranded DNA viruses that infect mammalian species, avian species, fish, and insects. The infections of circoviruses are known to be associated with a series of fatal diseases, but the protease of circovirus still remains unknown.

Concomitant Infection With Porcine circovirus 2 and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Does Not Increase Enteritis Severity in Experimentally Infected Weaned Piglets. [PDF]
Background Young pigs are often coinfected with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). This study aimed to determine the impact of coinfection of pigs with PCV2 and PEDV. Forty 16‐day‐old crossbred mixed‐sex piglets were assigned to four groups (n = 10/group, NEG‐CONTROL, PCV2‐CONTROL, PCV2+PEDV, and PEDV‐CONTROL).

Porcine Circovirus Type 2 and Porcine Circovirus-Associated Disease [PDF]
Abstract Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) belongs to the viral family Circoviridae and to the genus Circovirus. Circoviruses are small, single-stranded nonenveloped DNA viruses that have an unsegmented circular genome. PCV2 is the primary causative agent of several syndromes collectively known as porcine circovirus-associated disease (

Characterisation of porcine circovirus type 2 in porcine circovirus disease cases in England and Wales [PDF]
Confirmed cases of porcine circovirus disease (PCVD) in Great Britain have shown a steady decline since the availability of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccines. However, PCVD is still occasionally diagnosed. The authors carried out a genotyping study to characterise PCV2 associated with confirmed PCVD cases in England and Wales from 2011 to ...
