European experience with post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and other PCV2-associated diseases: an update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Walters and Mackinnon [1], at the last Pig Genetics Workshop, described and discussed several aspects of Post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS). Since then the diseases have assumed major political importance in Australia as the pig industry has challenged the federal government intention to import pigmeat. Rather than comment on this situation, this brief report aims to update on ‘technical’ developments in Europe over the past eighteen months.

Ear 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 ...

BACKGROUND Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an etiological agent of porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs). Post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) as the most important PCVD is considered a multifactorial disease. It was demonstrated that not only PCV2 but several viruses are associated with PMWS. Studies of viral co-infections in PMWS pigs led often to controversial results. The ai...

Post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome is a worldwide disease of multifactorial origin and Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) has been identified as its essential infectious etiology. It mainly affects the nursery and growing piglets. Clinically, the symptoms include wasting, unthriftness and paleness of the skin, respiratory distress, diarrhea and icterus. Microscopic lesions in lymphoid tissues...
