Yorkshire Farm, UK - Mike Muirhead - Final Update, June 2002
Mike Muirhead's case history of a Yorkshire farm with PMWS and PDNS. This paper charts the course and effects of the disease on a single herd as well as highlighting the economic impact. Photographs

Photos of the clinical signs that are seen generally in pigs with PMWS and PDNS. Includes skin lesions, enlarged lymph glands, wasting and dead pigs. Photos of the signs that are seen in post-mortem samples of pigs with PMWS and PDNS.

PMWS Research ArchivesPublished Thursday, September 01, 2005: International Conference on Animal Circoviruses and Associated Diseases, European Society for Veterinary VirologyPorcine circovirus type 2: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antigen and antibodies in feces. LOPEZ P, GUILLOSSOU S, DESHAIES E, BRAJON N, BESTUL K, LETERME S The usual methods used to detect the presence of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in pigs have their limits. Two Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) tests were developed: an antibody-detection blocking ELISA and an anitgen-detection capture ELISA. Both tests are performed on faeces. The tests carried out in this specific study on 49 faecal samples from pigs suspected of PMWS and 139 faecal samples from non affected pigs showed that the ELISA tests had a very high sensitivity (100% for samples from pigs suspected of PMWS and 96% and 95% for samples from pigs free of PMWS, for antigen detection and antibody detection respectively).
