Identification of an Emergent Porcine Circovirus-2 in Vaccinated Pigs from a Brazilian Farm during a Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome Outbreak
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three porcine circovirus-2 strains were isolated from pigs on a Brazilian farm during an outbreak, indicating a vaccine failure. They present identical genomic sequences, with high identities to other isolates that were also related to vaccination failures, supporting the recent theory about an antigen drift being associated with vaccine failures throughout the world.

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 ...

The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of real-time PCR and serological methods as indicators of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) occurrence. Significantly higher level of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viral load in serum and significantly lower titre of specific antibodies in PMWS-affected pigs indicated that combination of quantitative PCR and serological method...

Materials and methods: In 2007, a PCV2 vaccine recommended for use in piglets ≥ 4 weeks of age was made available in New Zealand for control of porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD). The effectiveness of vaccination in reducing mortality attributed to the disease was determined on nine farms that met the New Zealand case definition for postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), ...

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 کاملHistopathological Diagnosis of Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome
Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is a disease of pigs first recognised in North America in 1991 and subsequently reported worldwide that is caused by Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), a member of the family Circoviridae. The most consistent feature of PMWS is a generalized depletion of lymphocytes. Secondary infections with opportunistic organisms are common. There is evidence that ...
