AB  - To investigate the transition in concentration of porcine reproductive and 
      respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and 
      antibody for these viruses in serum, serum samples were collected from 29 pigs on 
      weaning day and at 7, 14, 21, 28, 53, 84, and 120 days after weaning. The 
      concentration of circulated PRRSV and PCV2 in serum was measured by real-time 
      RT-PCR and real-time PCR, respectively. The specific antibody for PRRSV and PCV2 
      was measured using ELISA. PRRSV was not detected on 0 days post-weaning (dpw). 
      The specific antibody for PRRSV began to increase as the concentration of PRRSV 
      in serum increased, and the level of PRRSV then tended to decrease. PCV2 was 
      detected in 12 of 28 pigs on 0 dpw. The concentration of PCV2 and the specific 
      antibody for PCV2 showed a similar tendency to those of PRRSV. The correlation 
      analysis suggests that a decline in the daily weight gain coincided with an 
      increase in the PRRSV concentration. Pigs with a higher antibody titer against 
      PRRSV or PCV2 on 0 dpw showed the lower level of PRRSV or PCV2, respectively.
