The invention concerns porcine circovirus strains isolated from pulmonary and ganglionary specimens derived from livestock suffering from postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). It concerns purified preparations of said strains, attenuated or inactivated standard vaccines, recombinant live vaccines, plasmid vaccines and subunit vaccines, as well as diagnostic reagents and methods.
