Warrants surveillance for recombinant viruses in swine outbreaks; leaves open zoonotic and evolutionary implications.
The discovery of an enterovirus with a torovirus-like gene insertion highlights that inter-family recombination events, though rare, may significantly contribute to viral evolution.
Conceição‐Neto et al. (2017) studied Diarrhea outbreak in fattening pigs. Viral metagenomics was evaluated on Detection of viral pathogens. Viral metagenomics during a diarrhea outbreak in pigs identified a porcine enterovirus genome with a torovirus-like C28 peptidase gene insertion, suggesting inter-family recombination.
