Abstract

The full-length genome sequence of a variant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain, CH/GDZQ/2014, was determined. The isolate was a variant strain with a relatively far relationship with the PEDV strains previously identified in the same area between 2011 and 2012 and was genetically distinct from the CV777-based vaccine strain currently being used in China.

Highlights

  • The full-length genome sequence of a variant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain, CH/GDZQ/2014, was determined

  • Field strains of PEDV, which are genetically distinct from the CV777-based vaccine strain, have caused severe epidemics of diarrhea in swine herds in China since 2010

  • We report the full-length genome sequence of a variant PEDV isolate, CH/GDZQ/2014, which is responsible for a severe outbreak of diarrhea in Guangdong, southern China, in March 2014

Summary

Introduction

The full-length genome sequence of a variant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain, CH/GDZQ/2014, was determined. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), an enveloped, singlestranded RNA virus, is a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus [1, 2]. Field strains of PEDV, which are genetically distinct from the CV777-based vaccine strain, have caused severe epidemics of diarrhea in swine herds in China since 2010.
