Extends APPV to European swine; leaves open its role in congenital tremor pending prospective validation.
Postel et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Congenital tremor (n=377). Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) infection vs. Uninfected (APPV negative) was evaluated on Presence of APPV genomes in serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and central nervous system. Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) genomes were detected in 100% of newborn piglets affected by congenital tremor (6/6), but were absent in unaffected piglets (0/2).
