Dr. Fernando Leite: PCV2d Defense | Ep. 174

In this episode of The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Fernando Leite from Boehringer Ingelheim explores how different PCV2 genotypes impact immunization efficacy in swine, especially during co-infections with PRRS. He shares findings from a recent trial comparing homologous and heterologous immunizers in real-world challenge settings. Learn how genotype 2d immunizers performed and why they may offer superior protection. Listen now on all major platforms! "The PCV2d genotype today is the most prevalent genotype, and it has been for some years now."
