Abstract:
Porcine circovirus is an important viral species in the genus circovirus. It causes an immerse economic losses in the piggery industry. According to the retrospective studies, PCV2 has circulated before its acclaimed detection from samples taken as of the first outbreak in Canada. A bit far on in time, it has been reported in Europe, United States and Asian countries. The disease is endemic in most pig producing countries. Since then phylogeny studies supported for the immergence of various new Porcine circoviruses variants and genotypes. In addition to its natural reservoirs (wild and feral pigs), it also inhibits calves, goats, canines and mice. Some insects like mosquitoes are also the potential carrier of PCV2 even let it for cross species transmission. Hence those proper prevention measures of the mechanical carrier vectors of the disease should be noted together with the need of efficient vaccine against the pathogenic porcine circoviruses types.

Abstract:
The negative samples of a collection, established originally for seeking new adeno- and herpesviruses in lower vertebrates, were screened for the pres-ence of circoviruses by a consensus nested PCR targeting the gene coding for the replication-associated protein. Six fish samples representing five species, namely asp (Aspius aspius), roach (Rutilus rutilus), common bream (Abramis brama), round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and monkey goby (Neogobius fluviatilis), as well as three frog samples were found positive for circoviral DNA. Sequence analysis of the amplicons indicated the presence of three novel putative circo-like viruses and a circovirus in Hungarian fishes and one novel circovirus in a common toad (Bufo bufo), and another one in a dead and an alive specimen of green tree frog (Litoria caerulea), respectively. In phylogeny reconstruction, the putative bream circovirus clustered together with circoviruses discovered in other cyprinid fishes recently. Three other piscine circoviral sequences appeared closest to sequences derived from different environmental samples. Surprisingly, the nucleotide sequence derived from two fish samples (a bream and a monkey goby) proved to be from porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), almost identical to a sequence detected in Sweden previously. This is the first report on the detection of PCV2 in fish and circoviral DNA in amphibian hosts.

Abstract:
AbstractPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a member of the familyCircoviridae, a recently established virus family composed of small, non-enveloped viruses, with a circular, single-stranded DNA genome. PCV2, which is found all over the world in the domestic pig and probably the wild boar, has been recently associated with a number of disease syndromes, which have been collectively named porcine circovirus diseases (PCVD). Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) and reproductive disorders are the most relevant ones. Among them, only PMWS is considered to have a severe impact on domestic swine production. PMWS mainly affects nursery and/or fattening pigs; wasting is considered the most representative clinical sign in this disease. Diagnosis of this disease is confirmed by histopathological examination of lymphoid tissues and detection of a moderate to high amount of PCV2 in damaged tissues. Since PMWS is considered a multifactorial disease in which other factors in addition to PCV2 are needed in most cases to trigger the clinical disease, effective control measures have focused on the understanding of the co-factors involved in individual farms and the control or elimination of these triggers. PDNS, an immuno-complex disease characterized by fibrino-necrotizing glomerulonephritis and systemic necrotizing vasculitis, has been linked to PCV2, but a definitive proof of this association is still lacking. PCV2-associated reproductive disease seems to occur very sporadically under field conditions, but it has been characterized by late-term abortions and stillbirths, extensive fibrosing and/or necrotizing myocarditis in fetuses and the presence of moderate to high amounts of PCV2 in these lesions. Taking into account that scientific information on PCV2 and its associated diseases has been markedly expanded in the last 8 years, the objective of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge of the most relevant aspects of PCV2 biology and PCVD.

Abstract:
Porcine parvovirus, porcine pseudorabies virus and porcine circovirus type 2 can cause reproductive failure in pigs, and swine are often simultaneously infected by combinations of the three viruses. We here report the development of a SYBR Green I-based multiplex real time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of porcine parvovirus, porcine pseudorabies virus and porcine circovirus type 2. Three pairs of specific primers were designed for the porcine parvovirus-VP2, porcine pseudorabies virus-gH and porcine circovirus type 2-ORF2 genes. Viral genomes were identified based on their distinctive melting temperatures in singleplex PCR reactions. The melting temperature was 74.5 °C for the 313 bp amplicon of porcine parvovirus-VP2 gene, 87.5 °C for the 355 bp amplicon of porcine pseudorabies virus-gH gene and 80.5 °C for the 171 bp amplicon of the porcine circovirus type 2-ORF2 gene, respectively. The detection limit of the method ranged from 0.01–0.03 TCID<sub>50</sub>/ml for the three viruses. In addition, porcine parvovirus, porcine pseudorabies virus and porcine circovirus type 2 viral loads were measured in 100 field samples, and the result showed that the concordance between real-time PCR and conventional PCR was 60.42%. The sensitivity and specificity of real-time PCR were 100% and 100%, while those of conventional PCR were 40.83% and 72.22%, respectively.

Abstract:
This report describes the first diagnosis of porcine circovirus (PCV) infection in weaned pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in Korea by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. The most unique lesions were multifocal granulomatous inflammation affecting lymph nodes, liver, and spleen, characterized by infiltrates of epithelioid macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. Circoviral antigen was detected in formalin-fixed sections and was usually present in large, round, dendritic cells in the white pulp of spleen and remnants of follicles in lymph nodes. Lymphoid follicles in the tonsils also contained PCV antigen. A 530–bp DNA fragment of circovirus was successfully amplified from all tested lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.

Abstract:
The genus Circovirus includes several species and mostly causes asymptomatic infections. Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and, with increasing evidence, Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3), have been associated with different clinical conditions all over the world. In 2019, a new porcine circovirus (PCV-4) was identified from diseased animals in China. Because of the lessons learned from PCV-2 and PCV-3, it appears mandatory to investigate the actual distribution of this new virus and its potential association with clinical outcomes. To this purpose, an exploratory study to detect PCV-4 by molecular methods was performed in Italy and Spain by testing more than 300 samples of different types (serum and tissues), collected from both healthy and diseased pigs and wild boar as well. All samples, independently from the country, type, health status and host, tested PCV-4 negative. Therefore, no evidence of PCV-4 presence was found in Italy and Spain through this exploratory study. Considering the dense pig trade among European countries, its presence in the continent can similarly be considered unlikely. The reasons behind the restricted PCV-4 distribution compared to other porcine circoviruses will require further investigations. Careful surveillance might nevertheless be important since prompt recognition of PCV-4 would allow the implementation of effective countermeasures to prevent its spreading and potential economic losses.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Circoviruses are small, nonenveloped icosahedral animal viruses characterized by circular single-stranded DNA genomes. Their genomes are the smallest possessed by animal viruses. Infections with circoviruses, which can lead to economically important diseases, frequently result in virus-induced damage to lymphoid tissue and immunosuppression. Within the family Circoviridae, different genera are distinguished by differences in genomic organization. Thus, Chicken anemia virus is in the genus Gyrovirus, while porcine circoviruses and Beak and feather disease virus belong to the genus Circovirus. Little is known about the structures of circoviruses. Accordingly, we investigated the structures of these three viruses with a view to determining whether they are related. Three-dimensional maps computed from electron micrographs showed that all three viruses have a T=1 organization with capsids formed from 60 subunits. Porcine circovirus type 2 and beak and feather disease virus show similar capsid structures with flat pentameric morphological units, whereas chicken anemia virus has stikingly different protruding pentagonal trumpet-shaped units. It thus appears that the structures of viruses in the same genus are related but that those of viruses in different genera are unrelated.

Abstract:
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a pathogen of swine. Vaccines against PCV2 are available, although none are capable of differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA). Positive and negative DIVA markers were introduced in the vaccine constructs. Decoy epitopes were modified by site directed mutagenesis to avoid possible subversion of host immunity and achieve a rationalized vaccine design. Immunization of pigs with the modified vaccines, followed by challenge with a virulent field strain showed that the efficacy of the vaccine was comparable to a commercial vaccine. The average weight gain was significantly higher group vaccinated with experimental construct if compared to the group that received commercial vaccine. An appropriate response to the positive and negative DIVA tags was detected. Therefore, the strategy used in this study is the first to enable a DIVA capable vaccine and accompanying immuno-assay, while using an epitope based approach to target improved immunogenicity.

Abstract:
Circoviren sind kleine, unbehüllte Viren mit einem einzelsträngigen zirkulären DNA Genom mit eine Größe von 1,7 bis 2,4 kb. Das Porcine Circovirus Typ 2 (PCV2), welches zum Genus Circovirus gehört, ist mit einer Anzahl von Krankheitsmanifestationen verbunden worden, die heute als Porcine Circovirus Assoziierte Krankheiten (PCVAD) zusammengefasst sind. Die PCV2-Infektion bei Rindern ist bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt marginal erforscht worden. Serologische Untersuchungen auf Circovirus spezifische Antikörperführten zu widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen. Im Jahr 2007 wurde von der Bovinen Neonatalen Panzytopenie (BNP) in Europa mit unklarer Genese berichtet. Das klinisch - pathologische Bild der Hämorrhagien ähnelte dem Krankheitsbild der Infektiösen Anämie, welche durch ein Circovirus bei Hühnern verursacht wird. Deshalb wurde in dieser Studie eine Breitspektrum PCR zum Nachweis von Cirocvirus-Genomen durchgeführt. In 5 von 25 BNP betroffenen Kälbern konnte circovirale DNA nachgewiesen werden. Das komplette Genom wurde nachfolgend amplifiziert, kloniert und sequenziert. Das nachgewiesene Genom (PCV2-Ha08) hat eine Länge von 1768 Nukleotiden und zeigte eine hohe Homologie (bis zu 99%) mit PCV2-Genotyp b (siehe Publikation 1). Als Ursache der BNP ist vor kurzen die Übertragung von Alloantikörpern über das Kolostrum beschrieben wurden, welche die Zerstörungen von Leukozyten und Thrombozyten sowie deren Vorläuferzellen bewirken. Ungeachtet dessen war es wichtig, die Empfänglichkeit und Immunantwort von Kälbern nach experimenteller Infektion mit PCV2 zu studieren. Für diesen Zweck wurden weitere 181 Proben von BNP-Kälbern aus Deutschland mit Hilfe einer Breitspektrum-PCR getestet. In zwei von 181 Proben wurde PCV2 DNA nachgewiesen. Die vollständigen Sequenzen konnten amplifiziert werden. Während das erste Genom aus einer Blutprobe eines Kalbs in Bayern stammte (PCV2-Ha09), stammte das zweite nachgewiesene Genom aus Lunge und Gehirn von einem Kalb in Sachsen (PCV2-Ha10). Das Genom (PCV2-Ha09) besteht aus 1768 nt, währenddessen das Genom (PCV2-Ha10) aus 1767 nt aufgebaut ist (siehe Publikation 2). Weiterhin wurden die PCV2 Empfänglichkeit und die Immunantwort von Kälbern durch experimentellen PCV2 Inokulation sowie die Möglichkeit, eine Serokonversion nach Impfung mit einer kommerziellen PCV2 Vakzin zu entwickeln, untersucht. PCV2-spezifische Antikörper wurden in den PCV2-infizierten Tieren und in den PCV2-immunisierten Tieren im Tag 11 und 7 nach Inokulation (p.i.) nachgewiesen. PCV2-Genome wurden durch quantitative Realtime-PCR zwischen Tag 4 und Tag 46 p.i. nur in den Blutproben sowie in verschiedenen Geweben (z.B. Milz, Lymphknoten, Thymus) der PCV2-infizierten Tiere nachgewiesen. Das Genom, welches von den Lymphknoten der PCV2-infizierten Kälber erneut isoliert wurde, zeigt eine Identität von 99,9% gegenüber dem Inokulum. Dies weist möglicherweise auf adaptierte Mutationen im PCV2 Genom hin. Die Mutationen C1708T und G365C sind während der Infektionen aufgetreten. Die Sequenzanalyse zeigt eine mögliche adaptierte Mutation an der Aminosäure Nr. 105 in Replikationsgen (Met zu Ile) (siehe Publikation 3). Zusammenfassend kann geschlussfolgert werden, dass der Nachweis der PCV2 Genomen und eine experimentell induzierte Serokonversion möglich war. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Empfänglichkeit von PCV2 nicht allein auf Schweine begrenzt ist und eine Übertragung von PCV2 auf Rinder möglich ist.

Abstract:
Porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD) is an umbrella term for a multitude of diseases and syndromes that have a negative impact on the health and economics of pig production operations throughout the world. Porcine circovirus type 2 is the causative agent of PCVAD; however the presence of PCV2 alone is rarely enough to cause clinical disease. In order for the full development of PCVAD the presence of a co-infecting pathogen is required. The mechanisms by which co-infection leads to disease remain ongoing areas of research, but it is thought that host immune modulations by PCV2 or a co-infecting pathogen are critical in the pathogenesis of PCVAD. In the first study of this dissertation the ability of PCV2 to induce regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and alter cytokine production was evaluated in vivo. The addition of PCV2 to a multiple viral challenge resulted in a significant increase in Tregs. Levels of IL-10 and IFN-γ were also found to be altered when PCV2 was added to a multiple viral challenge. In further experiments, monocyte derived dendritic cells (MoDC) were infected with different combinations and strains of PCV2 and PRRSV in vitro and evaluated for expression levels of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), IL-10, CD86, swine leukocyte antigen-1 (SLA-1), and swine leukocyte antigen-2 (SLA-2). Expression levels of PD-L1 were significantly increased in PCV2 and PRRSV co-infected MoDCs. SLA-1, SLA-2, and CD86 expression levels were significantly decreased in the MoDC treatment groups containing both PCV2 and virulent stains of PRRSV. MoDC IL-10 expression was significantly increased by PCV2 and virulent strains of PRRSV co-infection. Finally, we investigated the role of the PD-L1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-1) axis in porcine lymphocyte anergy, apoptosis, and the induction of Tregs. Lymphocyte populations with normal PD-1 expression had significantly higher percentages of anergic and apoptotic lymphocytes, and CD4+CD25HighFoxP3+ Tregs when compared to a PD-1 deficient lymphocyte population. The findings from these studies indicate host immune modulation by PCV2 in vivo and the development of a regulatory phenotype of dendritic cell following PCV2/PRRSV co-infections in vitro that may contribute to a dysfunctional adaptive immune response and the overall pathogenesis of PCVAD.

Abstract:
El objetivo de la tesis aquí presentada fue el de proporcionar información sobre la epidemiología del circovirus porcino tipo 2 (PCV2). Los cuatro estudios incluidos en esta Tesis Doctoral se resumen a continuación: El primer estudio fue dirigido a averiguar la prevalencia de PCV2 y otros virus porcinos, en concreto el virus reproductivo y respiratorio porcino (PRRSV), el virus de la influenza porcina (SIV), el virus de la enfermedad de Aujeszky (ADV) y parvovirus porcino (PPV) en granjas porcinas españolas. Se obtuvo que a principio-mitad de los 2000, PCV2 y PPV mostraron evidencias de una distribución ubicua en cerdos; PRRSV y SIV también estaban extendidos. La seroprevalencia del virus salvaje de ADV disminuyó con el tiempo. La seroprevalencia en verracos era inferior que en madres y engorde. El Segundo trabajo consistió en un estudio exploratorio de casos-controles dirigido a encontrar factores de riesgo que, en asociación con la infección por PCV2, inducían la expresión de la enfermedad sistémica por PCV2 (ES-PCV2), una enfermedad multifactorial. Se concluyó que la infección temprana por PCV2, medida por la evidencia de seroconversión, es un factor predisponente para el desarrollo de ES-PCV2. El tercer estudio se enfocó a los antecedentes genéticos, un factor de riesgo específico para la ES-PCV2. Se concluyó que los antecedentes genéticos son un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de ES-PCV2. Los lechones procedentes de verracos Pietrain mostraron el mejor rendimiento clínico seguido de los de verracos Large White x Pietrain. Los lechones de verracos Large White x Duroc fueron los más afectados por ES-PCV2. Finalmente, el último estudio fue dirigido a averiguar el efecto de la carga de PCV2 en suero en la ganancia media diaria de peso (ADWG) durante el periodo post-destete. Se concluyó que la variación de ADWG entre cerdos en granjas afectadas por ES-PCV2 está parcialmente explicada por la cantidad de PCV2 en suero desde el destete al sacrificio. Se identificaron 3 subpoblaciones de cerdos con diferentes cargas de PCV2 en este periodo. Estas subpoblaciones experimentaron diferentes ADWG, donde cuanto mayor era la carga de PCV2 menor era el ADWG.
The present thesis aimed to provide information on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) epidemiology. The four studies included in this PhD Thesis are summarised below: The first study aimed to assess the prevalence of PCV2 and other swine viruses, namely reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV), Aujeszky’s disease virus (ADV) and porcine parvovirus (PPV) in Spanish pig herds. It was obtained that in the early-mid 2000s, PCV2 and PPV showed evidence of ubiquitous distribution in pigs; PRRSV and SIV were also widespread. Seroprevalence against ADV wild virus decreased over time. Boar studs had lower seroprevalences than sow and fattening herds. The second work consisted in an exploratory case-control study aimed to assess risk factors that, in association with PCV2 infection, induced the expression of porcine circovirus type 2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), a multifactorial disease. It was concluded that early infection by PCV2, measured by evidence of seroconversion, is a predisposing factor for PCV2-SD occurrence. The third study focused on the pig genetic background, a specific risk factor for PCV2-SD. It was concluded that the genetic background is a risk factor for PCV2-SD development. Piglets from pure Pietrain boars showed the best clinical performance followed by piglets from Large White x Pietrain boars. Piglets from Large White x Duroc boars were the most affected by PCV2-SD. Finally, the last study aimed to assess the effect of PCV2 loads in pig serum on average daily weight gain (ADWG) during the postweaning period. It was concluded that ADWG variation among pigs in PCV2-SD affected farms is partly explained by serum PCV2 load from weaning to slaughter age. Three subpopulations of pigs with different serum PCV2 loads from weaning to slaughter age were identified. These subpopulations experienced significantly different ADWG, in which the higher the PCV2 load the lower the ADWG.

Abstract:
The main work involved the PMWS (Post-weaning multisystemic Wasting Syndrome), caused by PCV-2 (Porcine Circovirus type 2) that involved post-weaned pigs. Merial Italy has funded a study activity in which groups of 3-5 animals were sampled for lungs, tracheo-bronchial and superficial inguinal lymph nodes, ileum and tonsils. The protocol applied can be identified as a more diagnostic potential on the individual than on the group. PNP. Another investigation has been conducted to study proliferative and necrotizing pneumonia (PNP), a form of interstitial pneumonia in weaning and post-weaning pigs characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of type II pneumocytes, coagulative necrosis and granular debris within alveolar spaces. Many studies suggest porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) as the main causes of the disease, but Aujeszky disease virus (ADV) and swine influenza virus (SIV) are also considered. An immunohistochemical study was carried out to evaluate the role of these viruses in PNP lesions in Italy. PNP results primarily associated with PRRSV, even if co-infection is characterized by more severe histological features. Reproductive pathology. A major risk factor for PCV2 infection is a viraemic episode taking place in pregnant sows with low antibody titer which is transmitted by specific PCV2 products of conception. PCV2 can infect the fetus even by vehicles through infected semen or ova, or as a result of infection of the genital tract. An investigation was carried out to identify the presence and localization of PCV2 in the genital tracts of sows experimentally infected with PCV2 and in their fetuses. The results obtained suggest that: conventional sows can be infected by intrauterine exposition; low antibody titres increase the probability of infection; PCV2 infection close to insemination time reduces the pregnancy rate; placental lesions may represent an additional cause of fetal suffering.

Abstract:
The non-pathogenic porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) was originally isolated as a persistent contaminant of the porcine kidney cell line PK-15. Whereas, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) causes postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs, which is devastating to the swine industry. My objectives were to determine the effect of maternally derived antibodies on PCV2 infection, assess the role of 2 amino acid substitutions in the PCV2 capsid protein in PCV2 attenuation, evaluate the effect of Rep gene exchange between PCV1 and PCV2 on growth characteristics of a chimeric PCV2, and evaluate the role of open reading frame (ORF) 3 of PCV2 in virus replication and pathogenesis in pigs. Under field conditions, PCV2 infection is widespread and most breeding pigs are seropositive. Assessment of the role of PCV2 maternal antibodies in preventing PCV2 infection in piglets provided evidence that higher levels of maternal antibody provide more protection to piglets. Two amino acid substitutions in the PCV2 capsid protein that enhanced virus replication in vitro and attenuated the virus in vivo were evaluated for their pathogenicity in pigs. The results indicated that P110A and R191S are collectively responsible for virus attenuation. PCV1 replicates better in PK-15 cells and grows at least 1-log titer higher than PCV2. A chimeric PCV with the rep gene of PCV1 replacing that of PCV2 in the genomic backbone of PCV2 replicated more rapidly than PCV1 and PCV2, and more efficiently than PCV2, although to a titer similar to PCV1. The ORF3 of PCV2 is believed to encode a protein involved in apoptosis. The ORF3 start codon was mutated from ATG to GTG and the resulting mutant muPCV2 was infectious in vitro and in pigs; therefore ORF3 is dispensable for virus replication. The pathogenicity of muPCV2 was compared with PCV2 in vivo. Delayed viremia and seroconversion, decreased viral loads, lower level of IgG antibodies, and lower amounts of PCV2 antigen in mesenteric lymph nodes suggested attenuation of muPCV2. However, there was no significant difference in histological or gross lesions in tissues between PCV2- and muPCV2-inoculated groups. The role of ORF3 in attenuation needs to be further elucidated.

Abstract:
This thesis reports for the first time the detection of porcine circovirus virus (PCV) in the Australian pig herd. PCV DNA was detected in the tissues of pigs from several Australian states using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, the primers for which were based on the sequence of PCV1 and PCV2 strains detected in North America and Europe. PCV type 1 or 2 was detected in 80 of 367 (21.7%) pigs tested. In the 80 positives, both PCV1 and PCV2 were detected in 14 samples. Virus was detected in pigs from all states from which samples were obtained: Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. The complete genomes of 13 strains of Australian PCV were sequenced. Analysis of the data indicated there was extremely high homology between the Australian strains of PCV1 and PCV2 and previously published sequences of PCV1 and PCV2 strains from North America and Europe.There were no consistent differences between the genome of the Australian strains and strains in North America and Europe. The widespread occurrence of PCV in the tissues of pigs was confirmed by a small scale serological study of the Western Australian pig herd using an immunofluorescence assay, which did not discriminate antibody to PCV1 and PCV2. This assay detected PCV antibody in 11 of 14 pig herds in Western Australia, with a prevalence rate in positive herds varying from 25 to 47%, but it was unable to differentiate antibody to PCV1 and PCV2. A PCV2-specific recombinant viral capsid protein was produced in insect cells with a baculovirus expression system and this was used to develop a PCV2-specific ELISA and a Western immunoblotting assay. These assays were applied to samples from a national pig serum bank and detected PCV2 antibody in 33% of 3933 serum samples. The highest seroprevalence to the recombinant PCV2 capsid antigen was detected in the samples from Victoria where there was a 51.3% seroprevalence rate, and the lowest in Western Australia where there was an 11.4% seroprevalence rate. An in situ hybridisation (ISH) technique was developed for the detection of PCV in tissues of infected pigs and infected cell cultures. A monoclonal antibody specific for the capsid protein of PCV2 was also produced and has application for the development of immunocytochemical procedures for the detection of PCV2 in tissues and cell cultures. The high prevalence of PCV in the Australian pig herd and the absence of reports of PMWS suggested that the Australian strains of PMWS detected may have been of low virulence. To examine the pathogenicity of Australian strains, two animal experiments were conducted where the type species of PCV1 present in persistently-infected PK15 pig kidney cells and an Australian PCV2 strain were cultured in vitro in cell cultures and inoculated into weaner pigs. As expected, the PCV1 replicated well in pigs but did not result in the induction of clinical signs or lesions in the inoculated pigs. The inoculation into weaner pigs of cell culture replicated PCV2 with an apparent virus titre of 103 virus particles/mL resulted in infection of only some of the inoculated pigs and it was concluded that the PCV2 inoculum contained insufficient virus to infect all pigs into which it was inoculated. The PCV2 did not induce any disease syndrome and could not be visualised in tissue sections of infected pigs using immunohistochemical techniques. In conclusion, techniques were developed for the detection of PCV in the Australian pig herd. PCV of both genetic types were detected at prevalence rates similar to those reported in other countries where PMWS has occurred, and the widespread occurrence of PCV was confirmed by serological assays. The PCV strains present were genetically indistinguishable from those present in North America and Europe. The reason for the absence of PMWS in Australia is most likely not due to differences in the characteristics of the PCV strains present.

Abstract:
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus that causes disease in pigs and is an economically important pathogen affecting pig populations worldwide. PCV2 contains two major open reading frames (ORF): ORF1 encodes two replicase proteins and ORF2 encodes the immunogenic capsid protein. There are three genotypes of PCV2 (PCV2a, PCV2b, and PCV2c), but vaccines available for PCV2 infection are only targeted against PCV2a. The objective of this thesis was to create viable chimeric PCV2 viruses with an ORF2 displaying genetic diversity from all PCV2 genotypes by synthetic DNA shuffling. Variation was identified at 55 amino acid positions in the ORF2 gene among 853 PCV2 capsid gene sequences available in the GenBank database. Degenerate oligonucleotide primers spanning ORF2 were synthesized to contain this naturally observed sequence diversity. Sets of overlapping oligonucleotide primers were fused together using overlap extension PCR to create full-length shuffled ORF2 sequences. The shuffled library of the ORF2 genes was subsequently cloned into the genomic backbone of a wildtype PCV2a infectious DNA clone and transfected into porcine kidney cells (PK-15). After transfection and infection of PK-15 cells, viability of chimeric viruses was screened by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using anti-PCV2 Rep antibodies. PCR was used to amplify the genomes of viable shuffled viruses from infected cells. PCV2 viruses containing an ORF2 displaying genetic diversity from PCV2a, PCV2b, and PCV2c were isolated in vitro. These shuffled PCV2 viruses may be used as potential candidates for a broadly-protective PCV2 vaccine, although additional studies are warranted to determine in vivo infectivity and pathogenicity.
