About PCV2
Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) is an important viral pathogen associated with porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVAD), causing substantial economic losses in swine production systems. PCV2 exhibits considerable genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics, including genotype shifts and emergence of novel variants associated with changes in pathogenicity and vaccine pressure.
Genomic Surveillance
- Identification of circulating PCV2 genotypes.
- Monitoring temporal genotype replacement events.
- Characterization of molecular diversity.
- Support for epidemiological investigations.
- Contribution to vaccine evaluation strategies.
Current Dataset
DiseasesMapMx integrates genomic and epidemiological metadata associated with PCV2 surveillance, including:
- Municipality
- Region
- Sampling year
- Production stage
- Genotype classification
- Detection method
- Gene target
- Sequence metadata
