RESUMEN

Post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) are two recently described conditions of pigs at the late nursery and fattening stages. The aim of this short communication was to describe the first reported occurrence of these conditions and of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection in Greece. The clinical signs, gross post-mortem changes and histopathological changes observed in affected pigs, were similar to those previously described for both PDNS and PMWS. As in previous reports, the lesions were associated with PCV2 infection, which was demonstrated by immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization methods.
