Immunosuppression in post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome affected pigs.
Veterinary Microbiology, 98, 2004, 151-158
Several findings lead to hypothesize the immunosuppressive effect of PMWS, either from a clinical point of view (litter effect, co-infections, etc.), from the histopathological features of the disease and the changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PMBC) subsets. However, the exact role of PCV2 in the impairment of the immune system needs to be further investigated.
