Evaluation of differences in host susceptibility to PCV2-associated disease
Opriessnig T, Anderson MS, Rothschild MF, Evans RB, Fenaux M, Meng XJ, Halbur PG
Duroc, Landrace, and Large White pigs were inoculated with PCV2 at 5-7 weeks of age in order to compare the impact of PCV2 infection on each breed. The comparison was based on clinical signs and severity of gross and microscopic lesions. Landrace pigs seem more susceptible to PCV2-associated lymphoid depletion and PMWS than Duroc and Large White pigs.
