RESUMO

Preliminary studies aiming the identification of possible viral agents associated with the postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) revealed a possible negative association between TTSuV1 and occurrence of PMWS. Based on this finding was hypothesized that TTSuV1 might be able to inhibit the PCV2 multiplication, preventing the development of PMWS. To better clarify this, would be require an efficient system of replication for this virus, which has not been reported in the literature. In view of this, a method for detection of TTSuV infections in cell culture was developed to assess possible cell lineages to be potentially used for virus isolation and multiplication. TTSuV genomes were detected in cell lineages of porcine and nonporcine origin as well as a batch of trypsin. Sera used as media supplement was not found to contain TTSuV genomes. Thus, the contaminated batch of trypsin can be considered an important source of contamination, especially in cells of non-porcine origin. In order to evaluate a possible association between the TTSuVs and the occurrence of PMWS, the frequency of detection and quantification of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 genomes in tissues and sera from pigs with and without PMWS were determined. The analysis in the different tissues of pigs reveal an apparent inverse correlation between the frequency of detection of TTSuV1 genomes and the occurrence of PMWS. Regarding TTSuV2 in tissues of PMWS and non-PMWS-affected animals no significant differences was observed. The distribution of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 genomes in tissues did not reveal any particular target organ. The frequency of detection and viral load of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 in sera samples were no significant statistically among animals PMWS-affected and healthy pig. The mean of TTSuV2 viral load was significantly highest than TTSuV1 in sera of all groups studied. These results indicate a high frequency of detection of both TTSuV species in tissues and sera samples from PMWS-affected and healthy pig.
