| Popis: | Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is the emerging viral pathogen in the swine associated with multi-systemic clinical and subclinical outcomes. This study aimed to detect the molecular and serological prevalence of PCV2 infection in the southern states of India. A total of 434 random samples comprising serum (n=273), pooled postmortem tissues (n=109) and rectal, vaginal, and nasal swabs (n=52) and were collected from PCV2 suspected and healthy swine populations of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Puducherry states in India from 2019 to 2021 were screened for PCV2 by specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Of 434 samples screened, 12.2% (n=53) showed positivity to PCV2 genome. Statistical analysis of the molecular prevalence of PCV2 within breed, age, sex, and vaccination status revealed no significant (p>0.05) difference but there was a significant (p |
