The virion structure of PCV3 and its clinical diseases or signs (A) PCV3 has a single-stranded, circular DNA genome, and the capsid consists of 12 pentagonal, trumpet-shaped pentamers. (B) The PCV3 genome is about 2000-nt in length and contains three major ORFs: ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3 (45). (C) A variety of clinical and pathological symptoms are associated with PCV3 infection: ① skin: multifocal papules, macules, and/or superficial dermatitis; ② kidney: lymphoplasmacytic interstitial nephritis and vasculitis; ③ reproductive disorders: abortion, stillbirth, and mummified fetuses; ④ lung: coughing, sneezing, and respiratory distress associated with lymphoplasmacytic interstitial pneumonia; ⑤ digestive disorders.
