  • Takes ~ 24 days for virus to reach foetus after infection
  • >70 days gestation: stillbirth or normal piglet (depends on immune response)

How can porcine parvovirus be prevented
Answer
  • Vaccination (inactivated vaccine) is available (however, limited opportunity to vaccinate gilts as they are bred at 7 months of age (waning maternal antibody)
  • Exposure of gilts prior to mating induces immunity (so that they do not become infected while pregnant)
  • Gilts should not be mated until they are 2yrs old
