Epidemiological investigation on infection of porcine circovirus type 2 in intensive swine farms in China.
Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Emerging and Re-emerging Pig Diseases, 2003, 179-180
In this study, 55 samples of diseased or dead pigs from 12 intensive herds in 6 Chinese provinces were investigated. PCV2 was shown to be ubiquitous in Chinese swine herds. The presence of the virus was mainly detected in lymph nodes and spleen. In China, PMWS represents a important threat for swine industry and already causes significant economic loss.
