Virus-like particles associated with porcine epidemic diarrhoea

Chinese-like Strain of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, Thailand

Since late 2007, several outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection have emerged in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis places all Thai PEDV isolates during the outbreaks in the same clade as the Chinese strain JS-2004-2. This new genotype PEDV is prevailing and currently causing sporadic outbreaks in Thailand.

Development of rapid immunochromatographic strip test for the detection of porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) causes acute and severe watery diarrhoea and dehydration, as well as 50-100 per cent mortality in piglets. For the PEDV diagnosis, a rapid test kit that is specific and sensitive to PEDV is critical to monitor this disease at pig farms. The present study aimed to develop an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) strip test for detecting PEDV in faecal swabs. T...

Emergence of porcine epidemic diarrhoea in North America

overview Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDv) was first recognized in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1971. Since then, PEDv has become endemic in many European and Asian countries, where PEDv infection typically results in minor outbreak incidents with relatively low mortality (Pan et al., 2012; Li et al., 2012b). In 2010, despite vaccination programmes, a virule...

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea: new insights into an old disease

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an enteric disease in swine caused by an alphacoronavirus. It affects swine of all ages causing acute diarrhoea and can lead to severe dehydration and death in suckling piglets. Being recognized for the first time in Europe and Asia during the seventies and the eighties, respectively, it has remained a relevant cause of diarrhea outbreaks in Asia for years and...
