First description of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) associated diseases in Bulgaria
Proceedings of the 18th IPVS Congress, Hamburg, Germany, 2004 - Volume 1:73
Eight farms located in various areas of Bulgaria were investigated for the presence of PMWS and PDNS. PMWS was diagnosed in three farms and combined PMWS/PDNS in one farm. All of these farms had high postweaning mortality (>30%) and pigs with typical PMWS clinical signs and histopathological lesions. PCV2 infection seems thus to be widely present in Bulgarian pig herds but the actual impact on pig industry is to be determined.
