Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) infection causes substantial economic losses in pig populations since its discovery in 2016. However, PCV3 molecular epidemiology remains need further study. In order to assess the prevalence of PCV3 infection in China, 4094 clinical samples from 271 pig farms in 10 provinces of China were evaluated by PCR.

Results: The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the full genome sequence of PCV3 strains circulating in Northeast China. Herein, 105 lung samples isolated from sick pigs in Northeast China during 2018 were analyzed for PCV3.
Farrerol, a type of 2, 3-dihydro-flavonoid, is obtained from Rhododendron. Previous studies have shown that Farrerol performs multiple biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of Farrerol on colonic inflammation and explore its potential mechanisms.
