Key result
Serological screening for TGEV and PRCV antibodies in Hungarian swine revealed 15.42% and 17.82% immunofluorescence positivity in recent and archive samples, respectively, mostly due to PRCV.
Why the study?
What is the prevalence of antibodies against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) in swine in Hungary?
Cross-Sectional (n=1,082)
Yes
What is the prevalence of antibodies against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) in swine in Hungary?
The study found seropositivity against PRCV in Hungarian swine, suggesting TGE should not be omitted from diagnostics of swine diarrhoea.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant TGEV/PRCV inclusion in Hungarian swine diarrhea diagnostics; leaves open need for confirmatory longitudinal studies.
Valkó et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) / Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) (n=1,082). Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) exposure was evaluated on Seropositivity by indirect immunofluorescence (IF) test and ELISA. Serological screening for TGEV and PRCV antibodies in Hungarian swine revealed 15.42% and 17.82% immunofluorescence positivity in recent and archive samples, respectively, mostly due to PRCV.
