Effects of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Maternal Antibodies on Experimental Infection of Piglets with PCV2 [PDF]
ABSTRACTTo determine the effects of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) maternal antibodies on and response to experimental PCV2 infection, 24 piglets were divided into four groups on the basis of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers of PCV2 maternal antibodies: group A (n= 6; sample/positive [S/P] ratio, <0.2), group B (n= 5;S/Pratio, >0.2 ...

Genetic characterization and phylogenetic analysis of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in Serbia
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the main causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). To characterize and determine the genetic diversity of PCV2 in the porcine population of Serbia, nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of PCV2 collected from the tissues of pigs that either had died

The Evaluation of a Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) Intradermal Vaccine Against a PCV2 Field Strain. [PDF]
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) genotyping in Austrian pigs in the years 2002 to 2017. [PDF]
Abstract Background Eight different PCV2 genotypes with varying prevalence and clinical impact have been described so far. PCV2 infection is still widespread among the vaccinated population and several experimental studies have clearly demonstrated that there is no induction of a 100% cross-protective immunity between ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Comparative Safety and Efficacy of Commercial Porcine Vaccines Against <i>Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae</i> and Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2). [PDF]
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhyo) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infections cause enormous economic losses in the swine production sector. Vaccination remains the most effective strategy against the complex clinical entities caused by these pathogens.
