Key result
A novel porcine enterovirus strain prevalent in central and eastern China was sequenced, revealing a 7,390-nucleotide genome that belongs to PEV9 but may represent a novel sero-/genotype.
The study reports the complete genome sequence of a novel porcine enterovirus strain prevalent in China, identifying it as a potentially novel sero-/genotype within PEV9.
May warrant expanded swine virus surveillance in Asia; leaves open questions on pathogenicity and zoonotic risk.
The porcine enteroviruses (PEVs) belong to the family Picornaviridae. We report a complete genome sequence of a novel PEV strain that is widely prevalent in pigs at least in central and eastern China. The complete genome consists of 7,390 nucleotides, excluding the 3' poly(A) tail, and has an open reading frame that maps between nucleotide positions 812 and 7318 and encodes a 2,168-amino-acid polyprotein. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 3CD and VP1 regions reveals that this PEV strain belongs to a species of PEV9 but may represent a novel sero-/genotype in CPE group III. We also report the major findings from bootscan analysis based on the whole genomes of PEVs in the present study and those available in GenBank.

Zhang et al. (2012) studied Porcine enterovirus. Genome sequencing was evaluated on Complete genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis. A novel porcine enterovirus strain prevalent in central and eastern China was sequenced, revealing a 7,390-nucleotide genome that belongs to PEV9 but may represent a novel sero-/genotype.
