PCR and qPCR for detection of Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in captive white-lipped (Tayassu pecari) and collared (Tayassu tajacu) peccaries from Southern Brazil

PCR and qPCR for detection of Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in captive white-lipped (Tayassu pecari) and collared (Tayassu tajacu) peccaries from Southern Brazil

Porcine virus type 2 (PCV2) is an emergent virus found in commercial pig farms and may cause clinical or subclinical infection. Wild pigs such as collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu) and white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) may also be infected by PCV2. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to molecu...
