Veterinary Microbiology, 98, 2004, 169-174

The study of these avian circoviruses could provide valuable and applicable information in the areas of diagnosis, epidemiology pathogenesis and disease control for PMWS so could the more investigated chicken anemia virus (CAV) even if perhaps less directly.
