PMWS Research ArchivesPublished Friday, August 01, 2008: Research in Veterinary Science Volume 85, Issue 1, August 2008, Pages 197-200Molecular diversity of Brazilian strains of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) Alessandra Marnie Martins Gomes de Castro, Adriana Cortez, Marcos Bryan Heinemann, Paulo Eduardo Brandão, and Leonardo José Richtzenhain Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is associated with a broad range of syndromes. In this study, eight pig tissue samples from two Brazilian states were analyzed using six PCR primer pairs amplifying a 1705-bp fragment of the PCV-2 genome. The NJ distance-based method was used for the phylogenetic analysis with the eight field strains herein, 15 GenBank sequences and using PCV-1 as an out-group. This yielded two major clusters (A and B) for this viral species, with the Brazilian strains segregating with European and Asian sequences. Nucleotide identity was 99.7 to 100% among the sequences. This information can be used in further studies of pathogenesis related to PCV-2 in Brazil. To continue reading this article please click here Have you published information?
