Structured PICO

Population

Faecal samples from 509 pigs, of which 488 (95.9%) came from farms with a history of diarrhoea.

Outcome

Prevalence rates of porcine AstV types 1-5 (PAstV1-PAstV5) and genomic characterization.

The study identifies a high prevalence of porcine astroviruses, particularly PAstV4, in US pigs and highlights the genetic diversity and potential zoonotic risk of these viruses.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

High PAstV prevalence in US pigs supports surveillance; leaves open zoonotic risk for prospective study.
