Laboratory diagnostics: Parvovirus
What laboratory diagnostic methods can I use to diagnose parvovirus? Which one should I choose according to the situation? How do I interpret the results?
Parvovirus evolution: implication of the new strains
Porcine Parvovirus was thought to be genetically stable, but now we know that it exists in a variety of forms, raising fresh questions about its control in sow herds.
Porcine parvovirus is changing: Implications
Pork producers and veterinarians need to be aware that the porcine parvovirus (PPV) has been evolving into new strains.
Clinical case: One clinical picture of parvovirus, two separate causes
The farmer, alarmed, calls us describing a clinical picture of abortions in the last third of gestation, weak newborn piglets, stillbirths, mummified piglets, agalactia, sows with fever and small litters.
A new method of diagnosis allows the detection and differentiation of five porcine viruses in a single run
Researchers of CReSA and CENSA have developed a real-time PCR system for the detection and differentiation of PCV-2, PRV1, PPV and TTSuV1 and TTSuV2.
Clinical case: Abortion outbreak - an old favourite returns
The “normal” sporadic and unexplained abortion rate in pigs is approximately 1 to 2 % of pigs that are mated and achieve a pregnancy.
Simultaneous detection of porcine circovirus type 2, classical swine fever virus, porcine parvovirus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in pigs by multiplex polymerase chain reaction
A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was designed for the simultaneous detection of four viruses involved in reproductive and respiratory failure in pigs: porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2), porcine parvovirus (PPV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV).
Porcine parvovirus- and porcine circovirus 2-associated reproductive failure and neonatal mortality in crossbred Indian pigs
Results of this study suggest for the first time occurrence of PPV and coinfection with PCV2 in crossbred Indian pigs affected with reproductive problem and neonatal mortality.
Etiology: porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)... where is "agent X"?
Porcine circovirus type 2 is a viral agent with a relatively simple structural organization of which there are two distinct genotypes (1 and 2), it is not clear if they have similar virulence. Since some years ago there has been a hypothesis developing that there exists an “agent X” that would play a role as a trigger factor of the disease in 100% of cases.
