Abstract excerpt
Co-infection with different virus strains is a precondition for genome recombination, which give rise to continuous evolution of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). In the present study, 32 PCV2 positive clinical samples from the diseased and dead pigs were identified by classic PCR. 15 of 32 (46.8%) clinical samples were identified as infection with both PCV2a and PCV2b using genotype-specific PCR. 13/15 of PCV2...
