Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) screening in the German pig sector revealed a high prevalence of highly variable strains and provided the first indication of a cell culture isolate.
Demonstrates high prevalence and genetic variability of atypical porcine pestivirus in Germany and reports a cell culture isolate for future research.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Recently, a novel atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) with significant distribution was described in the USA. Subsequent screening of the German pig sector showed a high prevalence of APPV with high variability among strains. First indication of a cell culture isolate is provided which will allow further investigations like pathogenesis studies.
