Serological and molecular epidemiology of Japanese encephalitis virus infections in swine herds in China, 2006–2012
نویسندگان
چکیده
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne, zoonotic flavivirus causing viral encephalitis in humans and reproductive disorder in swine. JEV is prevalent throughout China in human; however, spatiotemporal analysis of JEV in Chinese swine herds has not been reported previously. Herein, we present serological and molecular epidemiological results and estimates of prevalence of JEV infections among swine herds in various regions of China. The results suggest that JEV infections are widespread and genotype I and III strains co-exist in the same regions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to monitor JEV infection status among swine herds in China.

Respiratory disorders are major concern for dairy cattle industry. Viruses and bacteria in combinationwith stress play a key role in triggering acute respiratory infections. The most important viral agents arebovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), bovine herpes virus type 1 (BHV-1), bovine respiratory syncytial virus(BRSV), parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3) and bovine adenovirus (BAV). This cros...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Japanese encephalitis virus strains prevalent in Chinese swine herds
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia and domestic pigs serve as the amplifying hosts. In the present study, the full genomic sequences of two JEV strains (HEN0701 and SH0601) isolated from pigs in China were determined and compared with other 12 JEV strains deposited in GenBank. These two strains had an 88.8% nucleotide sequence similarity and 97....
