Pathogenicity of the rescued porcine circovirus type 3 strain in conventional weaned pigs
A study on porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) in weaned pigs indicates that the virus causes a lymphotropic, afebrile infection. Researchers found that while the virus is detectable in various tissues, it does not significantly impact the growth or body temperature of the infected pigs.
Why it matters
These findings provide essential data for the development of commercial vaccines to protect swine populations from PCV3-related health issues.
