The effect on reproductive performance of porcine parvovirus infection in a susceptible pig herd

The effect on reproductive performance of porcine parvovirus infection in a susceptible pig herd

C R Donaldson-Wood et al. Vet Rec. .

Abstract

An acute episode of reproductive failure occurred following natural introduction of porcine parvovirus to a susceptible herd of 48 breeding sows. Serological data gave a close estimate of the time that infection spread through the herd, and enabled a correct forecast of the reproductive failure that followed. Severe fetal mummification was seen over a three-week period. Epidemiological data is presented strongly linking in utero parvovirus infection with the mummification that occurred, and the significance of this data is discussed in connection with the present knowledge of transplacental porcine parvovirus infection.
