Torque teno virus - a new threat

摘要

Recently conducted research, presented in South Africa, has significant potential implications for pig producers around the world. LEADING RESEARCHERS FROM Ohio State University reported some ground breaking findings at the recent IPVS Congress in Durban, South Africa (1), with potential major impact for pig producers worldwide. Steve Krakowka and his team have shown that a new, difficult to control organism, Porcine Torque Teno Virus (TTV) can potentiate both PCV2 and PRRSV infections in pigs.
