Porcine Parvovirus Real-time PCR Kit is used to detect PPV gene in swine blood, lymph nodes, kidney, placenta, lung, etc. It can also be used in feed and other environmental samples.
Porcine parvovirus infection (PPV) is a common and important cause of infectious infertility. PPV is a robust virus that multiplies normally in the intestine of the pig without causing clinical signs and is ubiquitous in pig populations world-wide. PPV is one of the organisms listed as responsible within the Stillbirths Mummification Embryonic Death and Infertility (SMEDI) syndrome.
In larger herds it is almost certain to be present and is an infection you have to live with and manage, rather than try to eliminate. In smaller herds with a previously PPV positive pig, it may or may not have died out.
Most viruses do not survive outside the host for any great length of time, PPV is unusual in that it can persist in the environment for many months and it is resistant to most disinfectants, and the most likely reason as to why is widespread and difficult to eliminate.
PPV is harmless to humans and other farm animals and is not a food safety risk.
