Key result
Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was newly identified as widely epidemic in China, featuring distinct phylogenetic clusters and a potential role in sow reproductive failure.
This study provides the first evidence of the presence and widespread epidemic of porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) in China, linking it to sow reproductive failure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
First PCV3 detection in China prompts swine surveillance; leaves open its causal role in reproductive failure.
A novel circovirus called porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was recently reported to exist in the USA. This circovirus is associated with porcine dermatitis, nephropathy syndrome and reproductive failure. This study reports on the first identification, widely epidemic, different phylogenetic clusters, potential role in sow reproductive failure and possible origins of PCV3 in China.
