Porcine circovirus type 2 enteritis is an important differential diagnosis to porcine proliferative enteropathy caused by Lawsonia intracellularis.
JENSEN TK, VIGRE H, SVENSMARK B, LARSEN LE, BILLE-HANSEN V
Similar symptoms can be observed during Lawsonia intracellularis and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infections. This study aimed at determining whether PCV2 infection was a significant differential diagnosis to L. intracellularis infection. Eighty intestinal samples from pigs suspected of intestinal disorders (proliferative enteropathy - PE), and/or diarrhoea, unthriftness and increased mortality. The monoclonal antibodies Law1-dk and F217 were used to determine the presence of L. intracellularis and PCV2 in the samples. They then underwent additional bacterial examination. The results showed that the enteritis associated with PCV2 was a significant differential diagnosis to L. intracellularisinfection in pigs suffering from diarrhoea and/or unthriftness.
