First description of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in the wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Europe.
Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Emerging and Re-emerging Pig Diseases, 2003, 177-178
A serological study of the wild boar population of Europe has already shown that this specie is susceptible to PCV2 infection. The necropsy of 4 PCV2-seropositive wild boars allowed the authors to make the first report of PMWS in this specie since two of the investigated animals showed wasting, typical lymphoid lesions among with high amounts of PCV2 nucleic acid in affected lymphoid tissues.
