CircoViradae Flashcards
(99 cards)
Shape of circoviridae
Icosahedral
Diameter of circoviridae
17-25nm
Genome of circoviridae
Single strand
circular DNA
nucleic acid also infective (difficult to inactivate)
how many genes does circoviridae have
3-4
where does circoviridae replicate
in dividing cells (using polymerase enzyme)
does circoviridae have good antigens
yes
how resistant is circoviridae
VERY, outside can be infectious for months
PCV1
non pathogenic
PCV2
Responsible for PCVD (or in background)
heat deactivation of circoviridae
80° for 1h
cell type circoviridae is found in
immune cells
PCV2 & PCV3
same disease different genome
PCV4
similar to mink circovirus
pathogenesis of Porcine circovirus
oronasal route (or other)
–> Rep in Immune c –> Viraemia
–> Imunosupression OR PMWS
predisposing factors of PCVD
environment
diseases connected to PCV
- subclinical inf. (immune sup.)
- PCV2 systemic D. (new PMWS)
- PCV2 resp D
- PCV2 enteric D
- PCV2 repro D (most imp)
- PDNS (porcine dendritic néphropathy syndrome)
PMWS age
1,5 - 4 months
PMWS symptoms
- diarrhea, phtisis

haemorrages
pneumonia
(myocardial replication)
PDNS age
from 1,5 months (30-100kg)
PDNS symptoms
red spots on skin
progressive weight loss
haemorrages, oedema
PDNS patho
Red, enlarged LN
Glomerulonephritis
Haemo in renal cortex
PRDC age
4-7 months
PRDC symptom
