Risk Factors for the Spread of PCVAD in Ontario
From their results, Guelph researchers were unable to identify the mechanism of local spread through airborne transmission or indirectly through contaminated fomites or vectors of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD).

Novel Porcine Parvovirus Detected in China
Researchers working in China and the US have detected a novel parvovirus, PPV4, in Chinese pig herds. The virus first appeared in China in 2009 and was found in two per cent of the herds surveyed.

PCV2: Genetic Variation and Newly Emerging Genotypes in China
Researchers at Harbin PCV2 have discovered that porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) found in China is constantly undergoing genetic variation. Furthermore, both the predominant strain and the Cap protein (the main structural protein of PCV2) have changed...

PRRS Virus May Pre-Dispose Pigs to PMWS
Pigs co-infected with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus developed severe lesions and clinical symptoms, which indicates that PRRSV could be a predisposing factor to high mortality, according to...

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza and its Potential Implications for Animal Health
At present, the overall impact of the H1N1 virus for the health of the EU pig population is considered minimal and the current epidemiological situation of the virus in pigs does not justify their vaccination with pH1N1 vaccine, according the European...
