Feb 6 SHIC/AASV Webinar to Address Porcine Circovirus Challenges and Emerging Trends
Porcine circovirus associated disease presents a significant challenge to swine health and pork production globally. Multiple types, including PCV2 and PCV3, have worldwide distribution. An emerging porcine circovirus, PCV4, was reported for the first time in Europe in late 2023 after being initially detected in Asia in 2019. PCV is routinely monitored by the Swine Disease Reporting System for trends in diagnostic submissions, sample types, and test results. Recent trends in PCV2 and PCV3 detection in US herds have raised questions regarding surveillance strategies, clinical presentation, interpretation of results, and control strategies for mitigation of PCV-associated disease. To review trends and emerging issues regarding PCV, the Swine Health Information Center in collaboration with the American Association of Swine Veterinarians will host a webinar on PCV2/3/4 on February 6, 2024, from 12 to 1:30 pm CST.
