Benefit of PCV2 serological and genomic load profiles on PMWS diagnosis in field cases.
BLANCHARD P, ROSE N, GRASLAND B, OGER A, EVENO E, MADEC F, JESTIN A
This study aimed at assessing the serological profile and the genomic load profile in porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. The study was carried out in 3 farms affected by postweaning multisystemic wasting sndrome (PMWS), in which pregant sows were studied during pregnancy and at weaning time, and piglets were studied at several time points between 7 and 21 weeks of age. Serological profile was assessed with an Orf2-protein ELISA test and genomic load profile was assessed from DNA extracted from serum, using Wizard SV 96 Genomic DNA purification system. PCV2 genome was quantified by a real-time PCR. The results showed that serological and genomic load profiles were important to determine the PCV2 infection dynamics.
