In pigs the porcine circovirus 2 can cause PDNS
T
One of the most common pathological signs of PDNS is glomerulonephritis.
T
The appearance of PDNS is related to the good antigenicity of PCV2
T
PDNS is a type III hypersensitivity
T
PDNS may develop without porcine circovirus 2

One of the most common clinical signs of PDNS is multifocal circular red skin disease
T
PDNS disease is an immunocomplex disease
T
PDNS does not occur in Hungar
F
PDNS occurs primarily in the weeks following the selection/weaning.
T
PDNS has been widespread in Hungary in Hungary since 1998
T
PDNS is a rare infection causing clinical signs only in piglets before weaning.
F
Prevention of PDNS is with live attenuated vaccines.
F
Regarding PDNS, general preventative rules and recently inactivated or vector
vaccination can be used.
T
In pigs the porcine circovirus 2 can cause BFD
F
Avian circovirus causes clinical signs similar to those seen in PMWS.
T
Avian circovirus causes clinical signs similar to those seen in PDNS.
F
The pigeon circovirus is not an important disease because the virus causes feather and
beak deformities
F
The beak and feather diseases causes typically neurological signs
F
In parrots porcine circovirus 2 causes the psittacine beak and feather disease
F
The beak and feather disease can be acute problem
T
Feather and beak deformities may appear after circovirus infection of geese and pigeons
