Abstract
Candidate Porcine<i>Kobuvirus,</i>China
Highlights
The genus Kobuvirus contains 2 known species: Aichi virus, which was identified in humans in 1989 and was found to be associated with human acute gastroenteritis (2), and Bovine kobuvirus, which was identified in 2003 in apparently healthy cattle (3)
We identified a candidate novel strain of kobuvirus from porcine fecal specimens; this strain is markedly different from Aichi virus and bovine kobuvirus
To further characterize the virus, we designed primers corresponding to the viral protein (VP) 0 region of kobuvirus on the basis of conserved sequences deduced by comparing the sequences of bovine kobuvirus
