Description
Tong Xu and co-authors survey a pig diarrhea virus across southwest China in a 2024 paper. Porcine epidemic diarrhea kills piglets and dogs the region's farms, yet the local virus strains were barely tracked. The team collected 478 samples from 125 farms reporting piglet diarrhea across eighteen cities between 2020 and 2022, then sequenced the spike gene of the positives.
Nearly half the samples carried the virus. The twenty-eight sequenced strains fell into four subgroups, mixing the classic strain, an insertion-deletion variant, and two branches of the newer G2 family. Their spike proteins carried many changes in the very regions vaccines target, some unique to this survey, raising escape worries. The authors press for vaccine strains matched to local circulation and steady surveillance.
