Prof Joaquim Segalés and Dr Oliver Duran Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was initially detected in the late 1990s in North America and Europe associated with a post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in pigs.
During the last fifty years or so, disease control in the pork industry has evolved mainly relying on antimicrobials, vaccines, elimination (depopulation, repopulation, eradication, modified early weaning), and/or regional control depending on the diseases of concern and resources available. Looking forward, it is clear that antimicrobial usage, under increasing scrutiny for both metaphylactic and therapeutic uses will decline, whereas the use of vaccines will likely rise.
