Key result
Enterovirus G (EV-G) was detected in 71.6% of pig samples and 71.2% of pig farms in Thailand, with the highest positivity rates in fattening (89.7%) and nursery (89.4%) pigs.
Why the study?
Enterovirus G causes subclinical infections and is occasionally associated with diarrhea in pigs, but its distribution and genetic diversity in Thailand required characterization.
Population
777 fecal and intestinal samples from pigs across 73 pig farms in 20 provinces of Thailand
Design
Cross-sectional survey

High EV-G endemicity in Thai swine may support surveillance; leaves open longitudinal studies on transmission and control.
Cross-Sectional (n=777)
Enterovirus G infection is highly endemic in Thai pig farms with significant genetic diversity, predominantly genotype G3.
Janetanakit et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Enterovirus G (EV-G) infection (n=777). Enterovirus G (EV-G) was evaluated on Occurrence of EV-G. Enterovirus G (EV-G) was detected in 71.6% of pig samples and 71.2% of pig farms in Thailand, with the highest positivity rates in fattening (89.7%) and nursery (89.4%) pigs.
