Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of real-time PCR and serological methods as indicators of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) occurrence. Significantly higher level of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viral load in serum and significantly lower titre of specific antibodies in PMWS-affected pigs indicated that combination of quantitative PCR and serological methods may support diagnosis of PMWS.
