What is the prevalence of porcine picornaviruses and adenoviruses in fecal samples of pigs in Spain?
Teschoviruses are highly prevalent and commonly circulate among apparently healthy pigs in Spain.
Buitrago et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Swine diseases (n=600). Among 206 cytopathic viruses isolated from 600 porcine fecal samples in Spain, 47% were teschoviruses, 9% sapeloviruses, and 3% porcine adenoviruses, indicating high prevalence in healthy pigs.
