Epidemiology and pathobiology of novel porcine parvoviruses (PPV2 – PPV8)

Abstract

Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) are important pathogens in pig production, affecting the reproductive health of the animals and contributing to complex diseases. Although PPV1 has long been recognized for its role in reproductive failures such as the SMEDI complex, the discovery of seven novel PPVs (PPV2–PPV8) has extended our knowledge of their epidemiological and pathological significance.
