    Snippet: Studies on the occurrence of PCV2 infections are very limited in Africa [16] . The occurrence of PCV2 infections was recently reported in Uganda [6, 17] . Serological surveys have reported point prevalences ranging of up to 50.8% among domestic pigs [17] while a molecular study on pig lymph nodes from an abattoir detected three cases out of the 35 sampled (8.6%) [6] .

    Document: Studies on the occurrence of PCV2 infections are very limited in Africa [16] . The occurrence of PCV2 infections was recently reported in Uganda [6, 17] . Serological surveys have reported point prevalences ranging of up to 50.8% among domestic pigs [17] while a molecular study on pig lymph nodes from an abattoir detected three cases out of the 35 sampled (8.6%) [6] . However, there is no report on occurrence of PCV2 infections and Porcine Circovirus associated diseases (PCVADs) on pig farms in Central Uganda. Given the limited reports on PCVADs in Uganda, it remains unclear if animal health workers (AHWs) and farmers are aware of the occurrence of PCV2 infections. This study was therefore aimed at detecting PCV2-SD on commercial pig farms and assessment of stakeholders' associated knowledge in Central Uganda.
