because it is ubuiquitous and most pigs become infected with PCV2, some get dz

Q

What is the epidemiology of PCV2?

A
  1. ubiquitous, stable, resistant
  2. infection may be asymptomatic/subclinical
  3. overt disease requires co-factors that enhanced PCV2 replication

Q

What is the pathogenesis of PCVAD?

A
  1. predilection for dendritic cells and macrophages
  2. these cells accumulate PCV2, viral persistence
  3. modified DC function, impaired innate pathogen recognition signals and antigen presentation
  4. lymphoid depletion
  5. immunosuppresion
  6. seroconversion (some pigs remain persistenly viremic and asymptomatic)

Q

What is the role of immune stimulation in PCVAD-PMWS?

A

a near simultaneous immune stimulation is associated with higher PCV2 replication in tissues, which is positively correlated with severity of disease

Q

Why would you be concnerend with using vaccines (especially mycoplasma vaccines) in nursery animals with PCV2 viremia?

A

ecuase immune stimulation while the pig is infected can restul in massive replication of PCV in tissue

Q

What is the pathology of PCV2?

A
  1. lymphoid tissues: lymphadenopathy–depletion and granulomatous inflam, thymic atrophy
  2. liver: hepatocyte necrosis, icterus
  3. lung: interstitial pneumonia
  4. kidney: intersitial nephritis (white foci)
  5. GIT: granulomatous enteritis
17
Q

What two diseases cause white foci in liver?

A

lepto

PCV2

18
Q

What is the most appropriate tool for defninitive diagnosis of PCV2?

A

IHC

19
Q

How is definitive diagnosis achieve with PCV2?

A 
Multiple tissues from multiple pigs
Must fulfill case deinition
1. clinical signs
2. histologic lesions: lymphoid depletion, granulomatous inflam
3. virus in lesions (IHC)
20
Q

What is treatment of PCV2?

A

supportive care

mass medication/anti-inflammatory for secondary disase

21
Q

What is control/prevention of PCV2?

A
  1. control concurrent dz
  2. reduce immune stimulation
  3. implement good production practices
  4. vaccination
22
Q

What are the different PCV2 vaccines available?

A
  1. ingelvac/circoFLEX is capsid protein for piglets
  2. PCV2-1 chimera for piglets
  3. PCV2 capsid protein piglets
  4. inactivated PCV2: sows, piglets

A 
extremely efficacious!!!!!
piglet
1. decreased mortality
2. decreased viral load
3. increased ADG
4. decreased growth variation
