Histopathological Observations on Pigs with Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) is broadly discussed as a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-associated disease, although PCV2, in contrast to postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), has to date not been proven to be the aetiologic agent. The clinical signs, gross post-mortem and histopathological changes observed in affected pigs, were similar to those previously described for PDNS. As in previous reports, the lesions were associated with PCV2 infection, which was demonstrated by in situ hybridization method.

Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome: A new condition to include in the differential diagnosis list for skin discoloration in swine
A previously unreported condition in the United States, porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), has been described in growing pigs in Michigan. PDNS has low morbidity— less than 1% of the pigs affected—but a high mortality rate. Clinically, most affected pigs develop multifocal erythematous lesions on the distal extremities and ventrum. Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome sh...
متن کاملTyping of Pasteurella multocida isolated from pigs with and without porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome.
Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) is a sporadic, usually fatal disease of growing and finishing pigs that has been recognized in many pig-producing countries. Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from 15 pigs with PDNS and 51 pigs without PDNS were characterized by capsule and somatic antigen typing, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAP-D) typing, and restriction analysis of...

The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical, histopathological, and virological features of an outbreak of severe porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD) on four farms located in the same geographical region of Kansas. The outbreak of PCVAD was evident by increased mortality and the appearance of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome, porcine dermatitis and nephropat...
متن کاملAntibody recognition of porcine circovirus type 2 capsid protein epitopes after vaccination, infection, and disease.
Open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) codes for the 233-amino-acid capsid protein (CP). Baculovirus-based vaccines that express only ORF2 are protective against clinical disease following experimental challenge or natural infection. The goal of this study was to identify regions in CP preferentially recognized by sera from experimentally infected and vaccinated pigs an...
متن کاملEar necrosis syndrome in weaning pigs associated with PCV2 infection: A case report
Porcine necrotic ear syndrome (PNES) in pigs has been reported as an increasing health problem in many countries with intensive pig farming. The etiology of this disease is complex and the presumed triggering factors can be divided into infectious and non-infectious agents. The present report describes a case of Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2), infection associated with lesions of PNES at the ...
