Porcine Circovirus Disease (PCVD) – Have we won the war in Europe?
نویسنده
چکیده
Respiratory and systemic diseases are the most common and costly diseases in nursery and finishing pigs. On one hand, there is a multitude of microorganisms that have the ability to cause or exacerbate respiratory/systemic diseases in swine and, on the other hand, adoption of intensive swine production methods may have contributed to the development of respiratory/systemic disease complexes. One of these systemic complexes is postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), a multifactorial disease in which the involvement of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is strictly needed but not sufficient (Segalés et al., 2005).

Porcine Circoviral Disease – from inception to successful control
Porcine Circovirus Diseases (PCVD) and Porcine Circovirus Associated Disease (PCVAD) are synonymous names for a disease syndrome caused by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and originally described in the mid-1990’s as Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS). 2 While the acronyms PCVD and PMWS have been widely used over the last decade, the American Association of Swine Veterinarians i...

Clinical signs and pathological features are still the corner-stones to suspect and diagnose overt disease associated with PCV2 infection. The clinico-pathological scope of this viral infection has been expanded over time. From the initial description of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, some enteric, respiratory and reproductive disorders have been subsequently linked with PCV2. Porc...

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has been associated with a number of disease syndromes in pigs, including post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), proliferating and necrotizing pneumonia, porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), abortion and reproductive problems (Allan & Ellis, 2000). Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) and a new ear necrosis syndrome have also be...

Porcilis PCV is a biotechnology derived inactivated immunological veterinary medicinal product intended to be used for the active immunisation of pigs against Porcine Circovirus Disease (PCVD). First recognised in 1991 in Canada, Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) is considered to be associated with a number of disease syndromes which have been collectively named PCVD. In particular, infection by...
متن کاملOne dose of a porcine circovirus 2 subunit vaccine induces humoral and cell-mediated immunity and protects against porcine circovirus-associated disease under field conditions.
This study investigated the efficacy of a one-dose porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) subunit vaccine based on the PCV2 Cap protein expressed in a baculovirus system on two different farms at which a history of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVD) was present. Morbidity, mortality, average daily weight gain, carcass weight, PCV2 load in serum and vaccine immunogenicity were assessed. Serology ...
