Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a burdensome pathogen in the swine industry. Wild boar population poses a high risk for reservoir of viral pathogen. Two hundred eighty seven samples from wild boar (Sus scrofa) collected in South Korea during 2010/11 were analyzed using RT-PCR, revealing a PEDV infection rate of 9.75% (28/287). PEDV positive samples were distributed throughout the mainland of South Korea, clustering at the northern border adjacent to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and in mountainous regions. PEDV in wild boar was genetically similar to Chinese PEDV strains in phylogenetic investigations. Our results indicated that PEDV is circulating in the wild boar and provided a novel knowledge into epidemiology of PEDV infection.
猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)是养猪业中一种令人负担沉重的病原体。野猪群体构成了病毒病原体储存库的高风险。2010/11年期间在韩国采集的287份野猪(Sus scrofa)样本通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)进行分析,结果显示PEDV感染率为9.75%(28/287)。PEDV阳性样本分布在韩国大陆各地,集中在与非军事区(DMZ)相邻的北部边境以及山区。在系统发育研究中,野猪体内的PEDV在基因上与中国的PEDV毒株相似。我们的结果表明PEDV正在野猪中传播,并为PEDV感染的流行病学提供了新的认识。
