Warrants enteric virus surveillance in swine; leaves open pathogenicity and zoonotic risks of PLCP-bearing EV-G.
Enterovirus G strains containing a PLCP gene are pathogenic in piglets and exhibit broad cell tropism, highlighting a potential cross-species infection risk.
Ibrahim et al. (2023) studied Diarrhea in piglets. Enterovirus G (EV-G) infection was evaluated on Pathogenicity (diarrhea, pyrexia, reduced body weight). Isolated enterovirus G strains containing a papain-like cysteine protease gene induced mild diarrhea, pyrexia, and reduced body weight in infected piglets.
