First detection of porcine circovirus 4 (PCV-4) in Europe
The relatively high prevalence in wild boar and the low prevalence in Iberian pigs suggest wild boar as a potential viral reservoir.
333 Emerging voices - Comparative histopathological findings of diseased pigs infected with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and 3 (PCV-3)
PCV-2 and PCV-3 associated disease outcomes are distinguishable at a histopathological level. Final thesis at the College of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain, advised by Joaquím Segalés.
First detection of porcine circovirus type 2e in Europe
This is the first report of the detection and genetic characterisation of the PCV-2e genotype in Europe, from sows on a farm in Italy.
Histological lesions and replication sites of PCV3 in pigs
This study investigated the association between the presence of PCV3 mRNA detected by in situ hybridization within histological lesions and PCV3 DNA detected by real-time PCR in naturally infected pigs.
Novel circovirus species Porcine circovirus 4 identified in pigs, China
Circovirus 4 was identified in several pigs with severe clinical disease in Hunan Province, China.
PCV3 is highly prevalent in serum and tissues and may persistently infect wild boar
Wild boar is susceptible to PCV‐3 infection, showing high frequency of detection in this animal species.
PMWS: Disease progression and a proposal for herd case definition
Two conditions must be fulfilled to diagnose PMWS in a herd: a significant increase in postweaning mortality and PMWS must be diagnosed in at least one of three to five necropsied pigs.
