Porcine circovirus type 2-associated disease: Update on current terminology, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and intervention strategies

TL;DR: The most common disease manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and intervention strategies associated with PCVAD in North America are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porcine circovirus diseases.

TL;DR: The objective of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge of the most relevant aspects of PCV2 biology and PCVD.

Current Status of Veterinary Vaccines

TL;DR: Successful veterinary vaccines have been produced against viral, bacterial, protozoal, and multicellular pathogens, which in many ways have led the field in the application and adaptation of novel technologies.

Characterization of a Previously Unidentified Viral Protein in Porcine Circovirus Type 2-Infected Cells and Its Role in Virus-Induced Apoptosis

TL;DR: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in pigs and transcription and translation of a novel viral gene (termed ORF3) was detected during productive infection of PCV2 in PK15 cells, suggesting that the protein plays a major role in the induction of virus-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccination of conventional pigs prevents viremia against PCV2 isolates of different genotypes and geographic origins.

TL;DR: The efficacy of a subunit vaccine containing PCV2 capsid protein was evaluated by using a challenge model with four differentPCV2 isolates of different genotype and geographic origin and prevented the development of viremia in all cases as well as significantly decreased nasal and faecal shedding of the virus.

Direct gene transfer into mouse muscle in vivo.

TL;DR: RNA and DNA expression vectors containing genes for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, luciferase, and beta-galactosidase were separately injected into mouse skeletal muscle in vivo and expression was comparable to that obtained from fibroblasts transfected in vitro under optimal conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porcine circoviruses: a review.

TL;DR: The diagnosis of PCV2-associated disease is based on the direct demonstration ofPCV2 antigens or nucleic acid in affected tissues, as is the role of the immune response in controlling or augmenting disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of Porcine Circovirus-like Viruses from Pigs with a Wasting Disease in the USA and Europe:

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.

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.

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.
