    Cell tropism and entry of porcine circovirus 2
    (Elsevier, 2011-11-11) Nauwynck, H.J.; Sanchez, R.; Meerts, P.; Lefebvre, D.J.; Saha, D.; Huang, L.; Misinzo, G.
    Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) may induce reproductive failure (return to oestrus, embryonic death, mum- mification, weak- and stillborn piglets) and postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Furthermore, it may modulate the immunity in such a way that it aggravates the outcome of many bacterial and viral infections. In the present paper, the cellular tropism and entry of PCV2 are described and linked with the pathological and clinical consequences.
