Abstract
Conventionally, Porcine teschovirus (PTV) consists of 13 genotypes (PTV 1-13, which belong to Teschovirus A); however, several novel members including PTV 14-22 have been discovered recently. PTV 21 was identified as a novel Teschovirus species named Teschovirus B. In this study, almost all 22 reported PTV genotypes except PTV 6, 7, 12 and 20 were identified in the pig populations of western Jiangxi, China, which reflects the high genotype diversity. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the nearly complete genome of PTV 22-JiangX1 was first sequenced in the present study. The homology comparison of the polyprotein genes showed that PTV 22-JiangX1 shared a relatively high nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence identities ranging from 78.3% to 82.0% and 84.6% to 89.3%, respectively, with PTV 19 and 21. Additionally, the PTV strain of JiangX1 represents genotype 22 with the PTV 19, and 21 strains proved to be members of Teschovirus B based on the phylogenetic and evolutionary divergence analyses. Finally, we determined that the novel Teschovirus B species comprises at least three PTV genotypes.
