Dr. Eduardo Fano, technical manager for mycoplasmas and PCVs with Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc., explains what porcine circovirus Type 3 (PCV3) is and how it compares to other circoviruses.
PCV3 was identified in U.S. swine herds in 2016, and studies have suggested its involvement in a variety of clinical expressions ranging from reproductive failure to systemic disease.
Dr. Fano shares how producers can detect PCV3 in their own herd and the clinical relevancy of detection.
