Key result
Among 62 samples from pigs with diarrhoea in Guangxi, China, 19.4% were positive for PDCoV, revealing the co-existence of multiple lineages including a Thailand-like strain and recombinant strains.
Why the study?
Porcine deltacoronavirus has been detected sporadically in China since its first description in 2012.
Population

Highlights need for PDCoV surveillance in Chinese swine; leaves open questions on recombinant strain spread and impact.
Observational (n=62)
No
The study demonstrates the co-existence of multiple lineages of PDCoV in China, including Thailand-like strains, which aids in understanding the virus's evolution.
Huang et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) in pigs with diarrhoea (n=62). Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) detection and genomic analysis was evaluated on PDCoV positivity and genomic characterization. Among 62 samples from pigs with diarrhoea in Guangxi, China, 19.4% were positive for PDCoV, revealing the co-existence of multiple lineages including a Thailand-like strain and recombinant strains.
