Abstract
An outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhea occurred in the summer of 2014 in Ukraine, severely affecting piglets <10 days of age; the mortality rate approached 100%. Full genome sequencing showed the virus to be closely related to strains reported from North America, showing a sequence identity of up to 99.8%.

We investigated an outbreak of Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) that occurred during the summer of 2014 in central Ukraine to determine the causative PED virus (PEDV) strain
Windborne transmission has been suggested to explain some outbreaks in the United States (14) and is another possibility to consider in this case. This PED outbreak in Ukraine showed clinical characteristics similar to outbreaks caused by virulent strains of PEDV reported from North America (4)
