Porcine Cytomegalovirus is a '''[[Herpesviridae | herpesvirus]]''' causing '''Inclusion Body Rhinitis''' in pigs.  

Porcine Cytomegalovirus is a '''[[Herpesviridae |herpesvirus]]''' causing '''Inclusion Body Rhinitis''' in pigs.  

PCMV may pose a risk to humans through '''transplanted organs''' and this is currently being researched. It is not currently considered a zoonosis due to its host range being highly restricted to only the pig.

PCMV can cross the placenta facilitating '''vertical transmission. Horizontal transmission''' between infected pigs is also important.

==Clinical Signs==

==Clinical Signs==

'''Rhinitis – Snuffling, sneezing, coughing, production of purulent/catarrhal discharge, increased lacrimation, conjunctivititis, ocular discharge, epistaxis, dyspnoea.'''

 

<br>'''Rhinitis is most common, causing snuffling, sneezing, coughing, production of purulent/catarrhal discharge, increased lacrimation, conjunctivitis, ocular discharge, epistaxis, dyspnoea.'''

Anorexia, anaemia,  lethargy, pyrexia and sudden death.

<br>'''Pneumonia''' may occur.

'''Pneumonia''' may occur.

Anorexia, anaemia,  lethargy, pyrexia and sudden death may all be noted.

'''Reproductive failure''' caused by PCMV is characterised by '''abortion, mummified piglets and birth of stillborn''', weak or stunted pigs. Ulcers and erosions may form on the external genitalia. Sows may develop agalactia.

'''Black discolouration around the eyes''' due to conjunctival exudate is also suggestive.
