Scope

GB/T 21674-2025 is the English-translated version of 猪圆环病毒病诊断技术.

GB/T 21674-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering identifying PCV2 in a pig herd — the sampling and the tissues that carry the virus, the PCR and real-time PCR, the immunohistochemistry on lymphoid tissue, the serology, and the case definition that separates infection, which is nearly universal, from the disease itself. Almost every herd is infected; only some get sick, so the case definition is the whole of the diagnosis. It replaces GB/T 21674-2008, under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. In force from 1 March 2026. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 21674-2008.

Introduction

A general term for a series of diseases caused by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2sys- Respiratory and enteric diseases have been shown to be part of PCV2-SD. PCV2 belongs to the Circoviridae family, Circovirous single-stranded circular DNA virus, which can cause immunosuppression after infecting pigs and easily cause mixed infections with other viruses or bacteria PCV2 and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (Porcine Co-infection with pathogens such as Glaseria and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae often induces or promotes the occurrence of PCVD. PCVD is widespread around the world.

The disease is prevalent and can occur in pigs of all ages and breeds, with piglets and sows being more seriously affected.

The characteristics of the disease are widespread and easy to cause immunosuppression, which has caused heavy economic losses to the pig industry.

In the "List of Animal Diseases", this disease is a Category III animal epidemic disease.

The diagnostic technology content of this document includes clinical diagnosis, etiological diagnosis and serological diagnosis, combined with the new research results of relevant technologies in China. Revision.

Diagnostic technology of porcine circovirus disease

1 Scope

This document describes the clinical diagnosis of porcine circovirus disease (PCVD), virus isolation and identification, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time Real-time PCR, indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (blocking ELISA), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and other methods.

This document applies to the diagnosis, quarantine, detection, surveillance and epidemiological investigation of PCVD.
