Key result
Novel porcine sapelovirus strain YC2011 is fully sequenced from piglets with severe diarrhea.
Why the study?
Sapelovirus is an emerging enteric pathogen in pigs, but molecular characteristics and epidemiology of porcine sapelovirus are not well understood.
Provides the genome sequence of a novel porcine sapelovirus strain to aid in molecular and epidemiological investigations.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports molecular and epidemiological studies of porcine sapelovirus; leaves open its role in piglet diarrhea.
Sapelovirus is a member of the family Picornaviridae and is emerging as an enteric porcine, simian, and avian pathogen. Here, we report the genome sequence of a novel porcine sapelovirus strain YC2011 isolated from piglets with severe diarrhea. The availability of the genome sequence is helpful to further investigations of molecular characteristics and epidemiology of porcine sapelovirus.
