Key result
Novel porcine parvovirus 2 appears in ~11% of sampled swine sera from Myanmar.
Why the study?
Parvoviruses are small viruses infecting vertebrates and invertebrates, and their presence in swine sera from Myanmar was unexplored.
Discovery of a new parvovirus DNA sequence in swine sera from Myanmar.
Hypothesis-generating for novel parvovirus circulation in Asian swine; leaves open questions on prevalence, pathogenicity, and zoonotic risk.
Parvoviruses are among the smallest viruses of both vertebrates and invertebrates.During an attempt to identify the hepatitis E virus (HEV) genome, we.accidentally PCRamplified a parvovirus DNA sequence ln swine sera from Myanmar.The sequence was only distantly related to the

Hijikata et al. (2002) studied Viral infection in swine (n=86). Viral genome sequencing was evaluated on Detection of novel parvovirus DNA sequence. A novel parvovirus DNA sequence, provisionally named porcine parvovirus 2, was identified in 10.5% (9 of 86) of swine sera samples from Myanmar.
