Interest of the serological tests related to PCV2
Given the high prevalence of the infection due to the PCV2 and its presence in healthy and sick animals, the serological tests against this pathogen have been questioned as a diagnostic test.
The impact of PCV2 infection on male reproductive organs of boars
The striking lesion found in the boar reproductive organs was edema of the epididymal head.
Detection and quantification of PCV2 and PCV2-antibodies in oral fluid from finisher pigs
The objective of the current study was to evaluate cotton ropes for collection and detection of PCV2 specific antibodies and DNA in oral fluid at pen level in finisher pigs.
Acute phase proteins as a tool for differential diagnosis of wasting diseases in growing pigs
The concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp), C–reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) were measured in wasted pigs.
Porcine circovirus research projects from France and Spain awarded
For the fifth time, the European PCV2 Research Award sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim funds research projects related to Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) infection and associated diseases. Nine high quality research proposals were submitted from seven different countries (UK, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, and France).
Seroprevalence evolution of selected pathogens in wild boar
A total of 1279 Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) sera were collected from 2000 to 2011 to reveal time changes in serum antibody prevalences against selected infectious agents (PCV2, PRRSV, HEV and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
Profiles of seroconversion to PCV2 in herds affected and not affected by PMWS
These observations suggest a delay in the production of PCV2-specific antibodies and indicate that serological methods may be helpful in identifying herds with a high risk of PMWS.
Controlling disease in young pigs
Mycoplasmal pneumonia and porcine circovirus are two of the costliest diseases affecting pork producers. Helping provide protection before disease exposure is critical to the success of any vaccination program.
Microbiological identification and analysis of swine tonsils collected from carcasses at slaughter
The primary objective of this 7-month study was to determine the prevalence of porcine pathogens of the tonsil of the soft palate, principle tonsil of the pig, of swine at slaughter.
Effect of porcine circovirus type 2 vaccine on postweaning performance and carcass composition
PCV2 vaccination has a large impact on growth rate and on the proportion of pigs going to primary markets, but not on carcass fat depth, loin depth, or percent lean, measurements that are used to determine market value.
Outcome of porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) infections in mid-gestational porcine foetuses
In the present study, virus replication and pathology were examined in porcine foetuses, inoculated with two PCV1 strains at 55 days of gestation.
PRRSV enhances PCV2a and PCV2b replication and duration of shedding
The objectives of this study were to determine if co-infection of piglets with PRRSV and PCV2 has any affect on PCV2 shedding characteristics and if there are differences in shedding patterns between PCV2 subtypes (PCV2a and PCV2b) in co-infected pigs.
Oral fluids - Sampling
Over the last several years, new sampling, monitoring and diagnostic tools for the swine industry that are faster, simpler and more cost effective have been developed and validated. One of these techniques is the sampling and use of oral fluids (saliva) as specimens for diagnostics in swine.
Circovirus vaccination in pigs with subclinical porcine circovirus type 2 infection complicated by ileitis
This study demonstrated a clear benefit in vaccinating pigs subclinically infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) with a one-dose PCV2 vaccine.
New Fostera PCV is the only single-dose vaccine that helps prevent PCV2 viremia
Veterinarians and pork producers can now help prevent Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) viremia with the convenience of a single dose. New Fostera™ PCV from Pfizer Animal Health is the result of the company's commitment to best practices and continuous quality improvements.
