First Report of Porcine Parvovirus 2 (PPV2) in Pigs from Colombia Associated with Porcine Reproductive Failure (PRF) and Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC).

ABSTRACT: Pigs are affected by various parvoviruses (PPVs); eight have been reported to date (PPV1-PPV8). Porcine parvovirus 1 is considered a primary agent of porcine reproductive failure (PRF), while it is unknown whether other PPVs impact porcine health. Recently, the presence of PPV2 has been confirmed in the lung, either as a single agent or in the form of coinfection with other respiratory; therefore, it has been proposed as a potential participant in the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). In the present study, the presence of PPV2 alone and coinfection with other viruses (PCV2, PCV3, and PRRSV) was evaluated in lung samples obtained from pigs with respiratory signs (respiratory group: RG) (n = 146) and stillborn lungs (stillborn group: SG) (n = 19) from 82 farms in the
