Pathogenic Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is a causal agent of many PCV‑2‑assocciated diseases of pigs, including porcine multisystemic wasting syndrome. Those diseases have a harmful effect by pigs’ production. Also, hotbeds of this infection are providing wide spread of this virus around the world. Ukraine is one of «hotspot» for PCV‑2‑assocciated infection, but has not enough information about distribution of this virus. Therefore, we have conducted a study to identify the causative agent of the mentioned disease. This article summarizes the results obtained by studying pathological material during the period from 2007 to 2012 by molecular diagnostics (PCR). Our results show that the distribution area for PCV-2 in Ukraine is mostly Ternopil’ (80 %), Kirovograd (60 %), Vinnitsa (57 %), and Dnipropetrovs’k (52 %) regions. It is less common in Kharkov (35 %), Cherkassy and Zaporizhya (both 27 %), and Lviv (33 %) regions. Nevertheless, some regions – like Zhitomir, Ivano-Frankivsk and Luhansk regions and Volyn’ – require a detailed study on the spread of the PCV-2 Author Biographies Liudmila Dudar, Educational and Scientific Center "Institute of Biology and Medicine" of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Akademika Hlushkova ave., 2, Kyiv, Ukraine, 03127 Postgraduate student
