Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs. Serological and pathological studies have shown that European wild boars (Sus scrofa) are also susceptible to both PCV2 infection and PMWS (2, 3, 4). The aims of this study were: i) to evaluate the prevalence of PCV2 antibodies in a wild boar population of a protected area in Northern Italy during a 3 years period; ii) to evaluate possible changes of PCV2 seroprevalence after the application of a demographic control program aimed at reducing the wild boars density in the area.

Abstract

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs. Serological and pathological studies have shown that European wild boars (Sus scrofa) are also susceptible to both PCV2 infection and PMWS (2, 3, 4). The aims of this study were: i) to evaluate the prevalence of PCV2 antibodies in a wild boar population of a protected area in Northern Italy during a 3 years period; ii) to evaluate possible changes of PCV2 seroprevalence after the application of a demographic control program aimed at reducing the wild boars density in the area.
