Using next-generation sequencing on vesicular swab and serum from swine from the USA exhibiting lameness and vesicles, porcine pegivirus (PPgV) was first identified and genetically characterized in the United States. Further screening using RT-PCR revealed that 24 of 159 (15.1%) serum samples were positive for PPgV. Future studies are needed to understand clinical impacts of the virus.
使用下一代测序技术对来自美国 exhibiting lameness 和 vesicles 的患病猪的 vesicular swab 和 serum 进行分析，首次在美国鉴定并遗传特征鉴定了猪戊型肝炎病毒（PPgV）。进一步使用 RT-PCR 进行的筛选显示，159 份血清样本中有 24 份（15.1%）为 PPgV 阳性。需要进一步研究来了解该病毒的临床影响。
