Abstract excerpt
Porcine circovirus (PCV) is a group of DNA viruses that cause diseases in pigs, with multiple genotypes ranging from PCV1 to PCV4. PCV1 is generally considered non-pathogenic, while PCV2 can cause severe immune system damage, especially associated with porcine multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2 has a genetic homology of about 68 % but differs from PCV1 in antigenicity and phenotype. PCV3 and PCV4 have...
