Description The present study was conducted to find out association of PCV2 infection with reproductive failure and neonatal lnortality in Indian pigs. OUf results indicated that pev 2 infection was associated with pigs showing reproductive failure characterized by smal1 litter size~ foetal luumnlifications and non-viable neonatal pigs. The diagnosis of pev 2 infection in cases of reproductive failure and neonatal mortality met all 3 essential criteria, viz. typical histopathological findings~ deITIOnstration of the pev 2 antigen and nucleic acid within the tissues of affected animals. Thus, our results for the first time, established that pev 2 is circulating in the Indian pig population and is causing reproductive failure in gilts and neonatal mortality in piglets.
