PORCINE CIRCOVIRUSES AND POST-WEANING MULTISYSTEMIC WASTING SYNDROME (PMWS): FACTOIDS

Abstract
(Member's Paper) The purpose of this short paper is to review what is known and not the myths surrounding PMWS. The facts are presented in the form of tables. The most common differential diagnosis of PMWS is Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) due to PRRSV and M.hyopneumoniae (M.hyo). Some authors have also implicated PCV-2 and opportunistic bacteria, and many authorities would now consider PRDC and PMWS as part of a continuing spectrum of disease (Thacker, 2001).
