Figure 2

Serological prevalence of PCV2 in various farm sizes. The farms were categorized into 3 sizes, including small (50-500 sows), medium (501-5,000 sows) and large (>5,000 sows) sizes. The immune response levels are presented in three categories, negative (S/P ratio of 0.49 or less or the titer of ≤1,070), low positive (S/P ratio of 0.5-2.3 or the titer of 1,071-5,766) and high positive (S/P ratio of 2.31 or greater or the titer of ≥5,767). 

Figure 3

Serological prevalence of PCV2 in the different age categories of pigs. The pig populations were categorized into 4 groups, including nursery pig (2-10 weeks), fattening pig (10-26 weeks), gilt (>26 weeks, non-serviced) and sow (>26 weeks, serviced). The immune response levels are presented in three categoris, negative (S/P ratio of 0.49 or less or the titer of ≤1,070), low positive (S/P ratio of 0.5-2.3 or the titer of 1,071-5,766) and high positive (S/P ratio of 2.31 or greater or the titer of ≥5,767).
