Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Porcine Circovirus-like Viruses from Pigs with a Wasting Disease in the USA and Europe:
Gordon Allan,F. McNeilly,S. Kennedy,B. M. Daft,E. G. Clarke,John Ellis,Deborah M. Haines,Brian M. Meehan,B. M. Adair +8 more
TL;DR: Although genomic analysis for the definitive identification of these viral isolates remains to be done, the evidence provided strongly suggests that these tissue isolates are closely related to, although antigenically distinct from, the original PCV cell culture contaminant.
Journal Article
Isolation of circovirus from lesions of pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome.
John A. Ellis,Lori Hassard,Elizabeth Clark,John C. S. Harding,Gordon Allan,P Willson,J Strokappe,Karen Martin,F. McNeilly,Brian M. Meehan,Daniel Todd,Deborah M. Haines +11 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate a high degree of association between the presence of the circovirus-like virus and postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in affected swine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of novel circovirus DNAs associated with wasting syndromes in pigs.
Brian M. Meehan,Francis McNeilly,Daniel Todd,S. Kennedy,Victoria Jewhurst,John Ellis,Lori Hassard,Edward G. Clark,Deborah M. Haines,Gordon Allan +9 more
TL;DR: Cl cloning and characterization of novel circovirus DNAs purified from virus isolates made from tissues of North American and European pigs with wasting syndromes are reported, providing evidence for a new type of possibly pathogenic PCV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental reproduction of severe wasting disease by co-infection of pigs with porcine circovirus and porcine parvovirus.
Gordon Allan,S. Kennedy,F. McNeilly,J.C. Foster,John Ellis,S Krakowka,Brian M. Meehan,B.M. Adair +7 more
TL;DR: Jaundice and hepatomegaly were seen at post-mortem examination of most of the dually infected pigs; the latter showed large amounts of PCV2 antigen in numerous tissues; PPV antigen, which was less abundant, was detected in a few tissues, especially kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral wasting syndrome of swine: experimental reproduction of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in gnotobiotic swine by coinfection with porcine circovirus 2 and porcine parvovirus.
TL;DR: Production of PMWS in gnotobiotic swine appears to require PCV-2 and additional infectious agents such as PPV for full disease expression in g notobiotic piglets.
