Strain-Dependent Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Entry and Replication in T-Lymphoblasts. [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the etiological agent of PCV2-associated diseases (PCVAD). PCV2 targets lymphoblasts, and pigs suffering from PCVAD display lymphocyte depletion in lymphoid tissues. PCV2 infection of lymphoblasts has not been studied.

Porcine Lawsonia intracellularis Ileitis in Italy and Its Association with Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Infection. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2023 The objective of this study was to employ a diagnostic algorithm, which involves detecting positive farms by stool PCR followed by PCR and histology/immunohistochemistry on ileum samples, for diagnosing Lawsonia intracellularis proliferative enteritis in Northern Italy.

The Evaluation of a Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Intradermal Vaccine Against a PCV2 Field Strain. [PDF]
Vaccines (Basel)Background/Objectives: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has a major impact on swine productivity. Vaccines are used to aid in control and mitigate production losses. We investigated the protection provided by an intradermal PCV2 vaccine against a field strain in Taiwan. Methods: We conducted a safety and efficacy study.

Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Vaccines in the Context of Current Molecular Epidemiology. [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an economically important swine pathogen and, although small, it has the highest evolution rate among DNA viruses. Since the discovery of PCV2 in the late 1990s, this minimalistic virus with a 1.7 kb single-stranded DNA genome and two indispensable genes has become one of the most important porcine pathogens, and ...

Environmental distribution of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) in swine herds with natural infection. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the aetiological agent of PCV2-Systemic Disease (PCV2-SD) and PCV2-Subclinical Infection (PCV2-SI). PCV2 is highly resistant to environmental conditions, being able to remain in the farm environment and thus represent a risk for infection maintenance.
