  • Vaccine for congenital tremors in pigs
    Publication number: 20040071728
    Abstract: The invention is based on the cloning of porcine circovirus (PCV) strains from pigs with congenital tremors. These results provide a first step for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic diagnostic method comprises determining whether the pig has been infected by a porcine cirovirus strain of type 1 or type 2. The invention further provides a method for the prevention or treatment of congenital tremors in a pig, which method comprises administering to the pig an effective amount of an immunogenic PCV 1 or PCV 2 polypeptide or of a nucleic acid encoding this polypeptide. Another subject of the invention is the new PCV nucleic acid sequences identified by the inventors and the polypeptides encoded by these sequences, as well as the new PCV isolates and immunogenic preparations thereof.
