The Sabervet Porcine Circovirus Antibody Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of specific antibody from Porcine Circovirus (PCV) in porcine serum, plasma.
Description
Porcine Circovirus (PCV) is a common pathogen in pigs, mainly divided into Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3), among which PCV2 is the main cause of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD).
Clinical signs and symptoms
PCV2
Post-weaning Multiple System Failure Syndrome (PMWS) :
Growth retardation: Infected pigs grow slowly and do not gain weight.
Emaciation and anemia: Significant weight loss, pale skin.
Dyspnea: Common respiratory symptoms, such as coughing and shortness of breath.
Diarrhea: Sometimes accompanied by diarrhea, resulting in dehydration and weakness.
Swollen lymph nodes: Swollen and necrotic lymph nodes are common.
Dermatitis and Nephrotic Syndrome (PDNS) :
Skin lesions: erythema, purple spots or necrotic lesions on the skin.
Kidney disease: Kidney enlargement, may lead to uremia.
Reproductive disorders:
Miscarriage and stillbirth: Miscarriage, stillbirth, or mummified birth may occur in sows.
Low piglet survival rate: The survival rate of newborn piglets decreased.
Transmission route
Direct contact:
From pig to pig: Spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids (saliva, urine, feces, etc.) of infected pigs.
Vertical propagation:
Sow to piglet: Vertical transmission across the placenta, resulting in sow to fetus or newborn piglet.
