Key result
Metagenomic sequencing of 222 pig fecal samples identified 59 EV-G sequences, revealing high genetic diversity and a high prevalence of strains carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence.
Population
Fecal samples from Japanese pigs with or without diarrhea, collected between 2014 and 2016

Surveillance of EV-G in swine populations is warranted; leaves open zoonotic and pathogenic implications of protease-carrying strains.
Observational (n=222)
The study identifies a high prevalence of enterovirus G strains carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence in Japanese pigs, highlighting significant genetic diversity and recombination events.
Tsuchiaka et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Enterovirus G (EV-G) infection (n=222). Enterovirus G (EV-G) strains was evaluated on Prevalence and genetic diversity of EV-G strains. Metagenomic sequencing of 222 pig fecal samples identified 59 EV-G sequences, revealing high genetic diversity and a high prevalence of strains carrying a papain-like cysteine protease sequence.
