Abstract excerpt
We report here high rates (47.5%, 48/101) of detection of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) in diarrheic pigs from three pig farms in the Dominican Republic. Seventeen of the PCV2 positive samples, representing the three pig farms, different age groups and sampling periods (2020-2021), were amplified for the complete PCV2 genome. Based on analysis of open reading frame 2 and complete genome sequences, the 17 PCV2...
