African swine fever virus (ASFV) has recently been shown to be transmissible via artificial insemination (AI) with contaminated semen. In this study, we performed a comprehensive pathological investigation to assess vertical transmission and infection of the conceptus.

A nine-base nucleotide sequence in the porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) nucleocapsid gene determines viral replication and virulence [PDF]
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was retrospectively identified by serology in swine populations as an asymptomatic infection at least 25 years prior to the first reported case of PCV2-associated postweaning multisystemit wasting syndrome (PMWS).

Porcine circovirus type 2 DNA influences cytoskeleton rearrangements in plasmacytoid and monocyte-derived dendritic cells [PDF]
Functional disruption of dendritic cells (DC) is an important strategy for viral pathogens to evade host defences. In this context, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), a single-stranded DNA virus, impairs plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and conventional DC ...

Nuclear Localization of the ORF2 Protein Encoded by Porcine Circovirus Type 2 [PDF]
Infectious porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was generated following transfection of a porcine retina cell line (VIDO R1) with cloned circovirus DNA. Expression of open reading frame 2 (ORF2) was detected at 24 h postinfection and onwards increasingly ...

Tetraspanin CD81 serves as a functional entry factor for porcine circovirus type 2 infection
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the primary causative agent of porcine circovirus-associated disease, clinically resulting in immunosuppression and co-infections with other pathogens in infected pigs.

Phylodynamic analysis of porcine circovirus type 2: Methodological approach and datasets
Since its first description, PCV2 has emerged as one of the most economically relevant diseases for the swine industry. Despite the introduction of vaccines effective in controlling clinical syndromes, PCV2 spread was not prevented and some potential ...

Genetic Characterization of porcine circovirus type 2 isolated from different pig-farms in Croatia [PDF]
Histopathological fifi ndings in 25 pig tissue samples, which indicated PCVD (porcine circovirus diseases), were studied. Pig tissue samples originated from 5 different pig-farms in the north-west part of Croatia.
