Key result
Porcine deltacoronavirus is found in ~87% of sampled pigs during a Thai watery diarrhea outbreak.
Why the study?
The risk for HEV infection through transfusions of donated blood emerged in West Africa similarly to European countries, requiring further assessment.

PDCoV detection in Thai swine diarrhea outbreaks; leaves open zoonotic surveillance needs in livestock.
HEV infection through blood transfusions is an emerging risk in West Africa, requiring further evaluation of HEV RNA in prospective donors.
Janetanakit et al. (2016) conducted a letter in Acute watery diarrhea (n=30). Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) infection was evaluated on Detection of PDCoV by reverse transcription PCR. Porcine deltacoronavirus was detected in 26 of 30 samples from pigs during an outbreak of acute watery diarrhea on a commercial swine farm in Thailand.
