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.

'''Global'''. No country has established freedom from or eradication of disease. Prevalence of infected herds and infected pigs within a herd is very high albeit with a low incidence of clinical disease.

'''PCR''' tests for PCMV have now also been developed and are very sensitive.

Histologically, large '''basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies are present in the mucosal epithelial cells''' of the turbinates, salivary glands and kidney tissues.

Electron microscopy can also be used for the same purpose.

Smears from the nasal mucosa of pigs at slaughter can also be used to identify inclusion bodies.
