Abstract

This report describes the first isolation and characterization of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The virus was isolated from a dead piglet that did not exhibit any typical clinical symptoms of porcine circovirus disease at a pig factory in North Kazakhstan oblast (region). The isolated virus belongs to genotype 2 (PCV2) and shares 96.6% sequence homology with one isolate and two strains from China and two French strains in group 1, cluster 1ab and 96.4% homology with two strains isolated in China and one strain from Hungary. Electron microscopy revealed the isolated virus had the typical morphological structure of PCV. This is the evidence of occurrence of porcine circovirus 2 isolation and characterization in Kazakhstan.
