Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a member of the genus α-coronavirus and causes severe diarrhea in piglets, leading to enormous economic losses in the pig industry. To understand the epidemic variation of PEDV strains in Yunnan province, three PEDV strains (YN2021, YNLP 2022, and YNBS 2022) and one commercially available attenuated vaccine strain (Attenuated AJ1102-R) that were previously isolated were sequenced and compared with the representative PEDV strains. NJ phylogenetic analysis showed that YN2021 strain and Attenuated CV777 strain were clustered into GI-b subtype, while YNLP 2022 and YNBS 2022 belong to GII-b subtype, accompanying ZJCZ4 and Attenuated AJ1102-R. RDP analysis revealed that YNLP 2022 was a genome recombination from both GII-b strain PEDV-7C and GII-a strain YN1, of which the recombination region is in the range nt4994-7605. YNBS 2022 strain was another recombination originated from GII-b subtype strain 17GXZC-1ORF3c and GII-a subtype strain PEDV-CHZ, of which the counterpart is in the range nt16399-22326. The Yunnan strain of PEDV was analyzed for the first time from the whole-genome perspective, and comprehensive analysis showed that the Yunnan strains have high genetic variation. This study may shed new light on the current PEDV infections in Yunnan and pave the way toward further control of PEDV infections.
