Retrospective study on Porcine circovirus-2 by nested pcr and real time pcr in ...
Silva,Fernanda Miquelitto Figueira da; Silva Júnior,Abelardo; Peternelli,Ethel Fernandes de Oliveira; Viana,Vinícius Winter; Chiarelli Neto,OrlandoPorcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2) infection is currently considered an important disease of swine. The pathogenic agent was first described in Brazil in 2000. This study detected the PCV-2 DNA in four Brazilian pig tissues collected between 1978 and 1979. This observation is the oldest description of this virus in Brazil.
Development and evaluation of a recombinant DNA vaccine candidate expressing po...
Silva Júnior,Abelardo; Castro,Luiza A.; Chiarelli Neto,Orlando; Silva,Fernanda M.F.; Vidigal,Pedro M.P.; Moraes,Mauro P.; Almeida,Márcia R.Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is generally associated with the porcine circovirosis syndrome, which is considered an important disease of swine and has potentially serious economic impact on the swine industry worldwide. This article describes the construction of a recombinant plasmid expressing the PCV2 structural protein and the evaluation of cellular and humoral immune responses produced by this recombinant va...
