Sertéscirco- és parvovírusok vizsgálata egy hazai sertéstelepen

Abstract

My thesis summarises the current knowledge on porcine circo- (PCVs) and parvoviruses (PPVs), with special attention on the emerging, novel species. We assessed the presence and prevalence of these viruses in a Hungarian pig farm, where we collected 100 bloodserum samples from different age groups, 5 processing fluid and 9 oral fluid samples and analyzed them by quantitative real-time PCR method. Our aim was to investigate the within-herd infection dynamics of these viruses and to gain a better understanding on their importance as pig pathogens. Our results showed that, except the most recently identified PCV4, all PCVs (PCV2–3) and PPVs (PPV1–7) were present in the examined herd in at least one type of diagnostic material.
