Abstract
A complete genomic sequence of porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV-2) was detected by viral metagenome analysis on swine sera. A phylogenetic analysis of this genome reveals that it is highly similar to previously reported North American PPV-2 genomes. The complete PPV-2 sequence is 5,426 nucleotides long.
Highlights
A complete genomic sequence of porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV-2) was detected by viral metagenome analysis on swine sera
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a small nonenveloped virus associated with reproductive problems and is endemic in virtually all swine-producing regions worldwide (1)
Sera from ten clinically healthy, 5-months-old gilts (Sus scrofa) of the Large White breed were collected in Senador Canedo, Goiás, Brazil
Summary
A complete genomic sequence of porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV-2) was detected by viral metagenome analysis on swine sera. Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a small nonenveloped virus associated with reproductive problems and is endemic in virtually all swine-producing regions worldwide (1). The viral genome is a single-stranded DNA molecule of approximately 5 kb (2). Porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV-2) was first detected in 2001 and is probably distributed worldwide; links between PPV-2 and disease remain unclear (3).
