effect of porcine parvovirus serostatus on the reproductive performance of mated gilts in an infected herd.gifts from 2 commercial swine operations (farm a and farm b) that were bred each week were tested for porcine parvovirus antibody. on farm a, 21.9% (weekly, 2% to 35%) of the 657 gilts tested over a 16-week period were seronegative within 1 week of mating. on farm b, 17.7% (weekly, o to 40%) of the 164 gilts tested over a 10 week period were seronegative within 1 week of mating. eighty-one gilts from farm a which were seronegative at time of mating were retested at the end of the gestation. of t ...19827103183
duration and biological half-life of passively acquired colostral antibodies to porcine parvovirus.the duration of passive immunity and biological half-lives of passively acquired antibodies to porcine parvovirus (ppv) were determined in 4 pigs from each of 10 litters. all sows were randomly selected from a herd naturally infected with ppv. at parturition, blood and colostral samples from the 10 sows contained hemagglutination-inhibiting (hi) antibodies to ppv; the hi titers of colostrum were about 5 times higher than that of serum. the hi antibodies in serum and colostrum of sows were resist ...19827103222
studies on the multiplication of a porcine parvovirus.a porcine parvovirus has been characterized with regard to its replication in foetal porcine kidney cells and certain biophysical properties. electron microscopy of infected cells at selected times postinfection revealed that porcine parvovirus replication took place within or near a series of granular intranuclear inclusions which may be contiguous with cellular heterochromatin. developing virions were observed to aggregate into a nucleolar-like amorphous mass which gradually disrupted as cellu ...19827112892
porcine parvovirus: serological examinations in pig breeding herds and ai boar centres.from several reports ppv is known to be world wide disseminated in pig herds. only few reports, however, are concerned about the prevalence of ppv infection among breeding animals within individual pig breeding herds. in the present work 1858 sows and boars from 53 conventional pig breeding herds and 731 sows from 73 spf pig breeding herds were examined for antibody to ppv, and the herds were grouped according to the prevalence of ppv antibody positive animals. more than 90% of the animals exami ...19827177795

farm studies of porcine parvovirus infection.epizootics of reproductive failure associated with porcine parvovirus infection were investigated on 38 farms. mummification was common to all epizootics. the mean number of mummified fetuses per affected litter was 3.1. mean number of pigs born alive for gilts and sows farrowing litters with mummified fetuses was 5.0, but for sows without mummified litters on the same farms it was 9.0. mummified fetuses were observed in aborted litters on 8 (21.1%) farms. gilts and sows that appeared pregnant b ...19836833101
porcine parvovirus: virus purification and structural and antigenic properties of virion polypeptides.porcine parvovirus (ppv) was extensively purified from infected swine fetal homogenates by cacl2 precipitation followed by cscl density centrifugation. two species of particles possessing ppv-specific hemagglutinating activity were observed banding at densities of 1.39 and 1.30 g/ml, representing full and empty 20-nm virion particles, respectively. both classes of particles contained three major polypeptides. a, b, and c, with respective molecular weights of 83,000, 64,000, and 60,000. the amoun ...19836834473
the pattern of endemic parvovirus infection in four pig herds.serological surveys were conducted on the gilts and adult sows in 4 herds endemically infected with porcine parvovirus. the study assessed the influence of the type of management of breeders on the spread of virus infection and the influence of endemic parvovirus infection on reproductive parameters of the herd. the practice of holding gilts and sows in groups did not reliably promote infection or maintain a 100% level of active immunity amongst adult sows in 2 of 3 group husbandry herds. in the ...19836626062
increased litter size in gilts by intrauterine infusion of seminal and sperm antigens before breeding.three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of exposure of the uterus to semen at least 3 wk before breeding on subsequent reproductive performance. in exp. 1, uterine exposure to semen was performed three times. at least 3 wk elapsed between each treatment. control gilts received saline infusion. all gilts were bred by artificial insemination using semen from the same boars used for semen treatment. at farrowing, significantly more (10.35 vs 8.39) pigs/litter were produced by semen- ...19836682857

evaluation of a gel diffusion precipitin test for porcine parvovirus.the use of a gel diffusion precipitin (gdp) test for the detection of porcine parvovirus (ppv) infection in pigs is described. the close correlation between gel diffusion precipitin and haemagglutination inhibiting (hi) antibody titres indicates that, with careful standardisation, a high level of sensitivity can be achieved with the gdp test and that it is a simple and relatively inexpensive alternative to the more commonly used hi test. experimental infection of 2 groups of pigs showed that gdp ...19836414450
pseudorabies virus, porcine parvovirus, and porcine enterovirus interactions with the zona pellucida of the porcine embryo.porcine embryos (n = 93) were incubated on cell monolayers that had been previously inoculated with pseudorabies virus, porcine parvovirus (ppv), or each of 2 porcine enteroviruses. after 2, 24, or 48 hours of incubation, the embryos were fixed in glutaraldehyde and examined by electron microscopic procedures. it was found that pseudorabies virus adsorbed to the zona pellucida (zp) and entered sperm tracks in the zp. the ppv and both enteroviruses entered pores in the zp and were associated with ...19836307093
porcine parvovirus infection: review and diagnosis in a sow herd with reproductive failure.in a commercial swine herd a rise was noted during the summer of 1981 in the number of repeat breeders, mostly four to eight weeks after serving. during the autumn there was a decrease in the litter size at birth and an increase in the number of stillborn and mummified piglets. several gilts and sows showed a seroconversion against porcine parvovirus (ppv), determined by the haemagglutination inhibition test (hi-test). characteristic pathological findings were seen in some maturely stillborn and ...19836314634
