Porcine enterovirus (PEV), Porcine Teschovirus and Porcine sapelovirus, belonging to the family Picornaviridae, are ubiquitous and mainly cause asymptomatic infections in pigs. In this study, a total of 40 Italian porcine picornavirus isolates were characterized by sequencing the capsid VP1-encoding gene. This procedure turned out to be a useful diagnostic tool for the molecular identification of porcine enterovirus, teschovirus and sapelovirus strains and for the study of molecular epidemiology and evolution of these viruses confirming the possibility of correlating virus genotype to serotype.
猪肠道病毒（PEV）、猪肠道病毒和猪星状病毒属于小核糖核酸病毒科，普遍存在，主要引起猪的无症状感染。在这项研究中，通过测序衣壳 VP1 编码基因对总共 40 株意大利猪小核糖核酸病毒分离株进行了特征描述。该程序对于猪肠道病毒、鼻病毒和星状病毒株的分子鉴定以及这些病毒的分子流行病学和进化研究非常有用，证实了将病毒基因型与血清型相关联的可能性。
