Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a type Ⅱ strain of porcine circovirus. Background technique
[0002] In 1974, a German researcher discovered a new, non-pathogenic microribonucleotide virus-like pollutant from the pig kidney cell line PK15 (ATCC-CCL33). It was subsequently reported that the pollutant was an icosahedral virus with no envelope and a single-stranded circular DNA genome, which was the smallest known virus capable of self-replication in mammalian cells, and was subsequently named pig round Cyclovirus (PCV). It mainly infects monocyte / macrophage lineage cells, among which porcine alveolar macrophages are its main target cells. Subsequent serological surveys of PCV antibodies in pigs in Germany, Canada, Great Britain and Northern Ireland showed that PCV is ubiquitous in pig herds. Experimental infection of 9-month-old pigs with PCV resulted in no clinical disease and the virus was therefore considered non-pathogenic.
