摘要： Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) causes postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in piglets. Differences in the infectivity and horizontal transmissibility of different isolates of PCV2a, PCV2b, and PCV2d in pigs were evaluated by HE and IHC staining, PCR, virus titration, and IPMA to determine their clinical symptoms, pathological changes, levels of virus and antibody, and cohabitation infectivity. In the cohabitation infection experiment, weak viremia and low levels of antibodies were detected in the pigs challenged with PCV2a-CL, whereas no viremia or antibodies were detected in the corresponding cohabiting pigs. Furthermore, no PCV2 was isolated from any organ of pigs that were challenged with PCV2a-CL, as well as from those of their cohabiting pigs. In contrast, persistent viremia and pathological changes, including swollen inguinal lymph nodes, were detected in both the challenged and cohabiting pigs after PCV2b-BY or PCV2d-LNHC infection. Alive PCV2 was detected in the tonsils, inguinal lymph nodes, spleen, and kidneys of the experimental pigs by virus titration, and the highest viral titer was detected in the tonsils, followed by the inguinal lymph nodes. In a comparative analysis of the challenged and cohabiting pigs, a 1-week delay in viremia and specific antibodies was observed in the cohabiting pigs. Moreover, the number of viruses isolated from the tonsils and inguinal lymph nodes of the pigs cohabiting with PCV2d-LNHC-challenged pigs was significantly greater than those in the pigs that were directly challenged with PCV2d-LNHC in cohabitation infection experiment (P<0.05). Together, these results indicated that the infectivity and horizontal transmissibility of the strains PCV2b-BY and PCV2dLNHC were much greater than those of the strain PCV2a-CL and provided some insights into PCV2 pathogenicity.
