African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal, hemorrhagic, and highly contagious infectious disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). At present, ASFV has evolved into multiple variant strains with different levels of virulence in China, complicating the epidemiological landscape.

Recent reports suggest that antibiotic therapy may either reduce or enhance the immune response to various porcine vaccines. Based upon these findings, we asked if antibiotic therapy alters immune cell populations, as measured by flow cytometry and/or ...

Porcine Circovirus 2 Genotypes, Immunity and Vaccines: Multiple Genotypes but One Single Serotype
Identified for the first time in the 1990s, Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) should not be considered an emerging virus anymore. Nevertheless, many aspects of its biology and epidemiology are still controversial.

Genomic composition and pathomechanisms of porcine circoviruses: A review
Porcine circovirus (PCV) belongs to the genus Circovirus within the family Circoviridae; it has the smallest genome and a complicated classification system comprising PCV1, PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4.

Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been suggested as a putative causal agent of swine reproductive disease. A number of different studies have pointed out this association, but there is still a lack of information regarding the normal rates of PCV-3 ...

Porcine circovirus (PCV) type 4 (PCV4) is an emerging Circovirus whose epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics remain incompletely characterized. We developed a replication‐associated protein (Rep)‐targeted SYBR Green I real‐time quantitative PCR assay that showed analytical specificity against tested common porcine pathogens and an estimated 95 ...

Novel circovirus species identified in farmed pigs designated as Porcine circovirus 4, Hunan province, China [PDF]
In pigs, three circovirus species within the genus Circovirus have been identified so far, including the non-pathogenic Porcine circovirus 1 (PCV1), the pathogenic Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), and the recently identified Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3).
