PCV2 is the primary etiological agent of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVADs) which affect pigs worldwide. Currently, there is a worldwide genotype prevalence switch from PCV2b to PCV2d, which has led to increased virulence of the circulating virus strains leading to vaccine failures and ...

The aetiology, epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis and postmortem findings of summer scour syndrome in cattle in the UK and Irish Republic are described.

Animal health and agricultural productivity in low- and middle-income countries have been the focus of research for development (R4D) projects for decades, with varying levels of success when considering the long-term sustainability of interventions. Many of these projects have been funded,...
