PMWS in Sweden from an exotic to an endemic disease

Abstract

Post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) was diagnosed for the first time in Sweden at a progeny test station in December 2003. By December 2006, 126 herds had been diagnosed with PMWS and the disease was regarded as endemic and was removed from the list of notifiable diseases. This manuscript describes the spread of PMWS in Sweden and gives some comments on the epidemiology of PMWS.
