Determination of the virulence of an emerging porcine parvovirus (PPV2) and its possible interaction with PCV2 in PCVAD
April 26, 2016By Tanja Opriessnig
The objective of this study was to characterize a novel PPV previously designated as PPV2 in pigs and to determine the interaction of PPV2 and PCV2. Colostrum-deprived pigs experimentally infected...
