This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a new trivalent vaccine containing inactivated
Porcine Circovirus 1-2a and 1-2b chimeras and a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae bacterin administered to
pigs around 3 weeks of age. This trivalent vaccine has already been proved as efficacious in a splitdose regimen but has not been tested in a single-dose scenario. For this purpose, a total of four studies
including two pre-clinical and two clinical studies were performed. Globally, a significant reduction
in PCV-2 viraemia and faecal excretion was detected in vaccinated pigs compared to non-vaccinated
animals, as well as lower histopathological lymphoid lesion plus PCV-2 immunohistochemistry
scorings, and incidence of PCV-2-subclinical infection. Moreover, in field trial B, a significant increase
in body weight and in average daily weight gain were detected in vaccinated animals compared to
the non-vaccinated ones. Circulation of PCV-2b in field trial A and PCV-2a plus PCV-2d in field trial B
was confirmed by virus sequencing. Hence, the efficacy of this new trivalent vaccine against a natural
PCV-2a, PCV-2b or PCV-2d challenge was demonstrated in terms of reduction of histopathological
lymphoid lesions and PCV-2 detection in tissues, serum and faeces, as well as improvement of
production parameters.
