Outbreaks of trembling and shaking were reported among pigs at two pig farms in Jiangsu Province, China. Serum and tissue samples tested positive for porcine circovirus‐like virus P1 and negative for classical swine fever virus, porcine circovirus type 2, astrovirus and porcine pestivirus using PCR/RT‐PCR and immunohistochemical techniques. High P1 viral genome loads were identified in sera, brain and lymph node tissue samples by qPCR. In addition, one of the most notable pathological changes was dissolution of the nucleus in Purkinje cells. The results of this study provide molecular evidence of an association between congenital tremor in pigs and P1 virus.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus‐like virus P1, a novel single‐stranded circular DNA virus, is a potential causative agent of post‐weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in swine. In this study, we detected P1 strains in serum samples from cattle, goats and rabbits suffering different clinical symptoms, in Jiangsu Province, China. We sequenced the whole genomes of six P1 strains, which showed 99.4%–100% nucleotide sequence similarity and were closely related to other porcine‐origin P1 isolates. The sequences of six non‐porcine‐origin P1 viruses were most closely phylogenetically related to other porcine‐origin P1 sequences. Therefore, the P1 virus has a wide host range in China.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV 3) is a newly identified circovirus from swine in the USA , China and Poland. This novel circovirus has been associated with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS ), reproductive failure and multisystemic inflammation; moreover, PCV 3 poses a potential threat to the swine industry. In this retrospective study, a phylogenetic analysis was conducted to address the epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics of this novel circovirus. The total positive sample rate of PCV 3 was 26.7% (76/285) and has increased gradually over the past 3 years. Of these PCV 3‐positive samples, 22.3% (17/76) were coinfected with PCV 2. PCV 3 can be detected in multiple sample types with different positive rates, and the positive rate is highest among stillborn. We also divide PCV 3 into three clades (PCV 3a, PCV 3b and PCV 3c) based on two amino acid mutations (A24V and R27K) on the cap protein in this study. In addition, the origin of PCV 3 was approximately 1966 and may have originated from a bat‐associated circovirus. Our results suggested that PCV 3 is widely distributed in southern China and has been circulating in swine herds for nearly half a century. PCV 3 has evolved into different clades caused by mutations in cap proteins; thus, further research on PCV 3 epidemiology should be conducted.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has recently been detected in pigs worldwide, with similar clinical manifestations to porcine circovirus‐associated disease (PCVAD) from porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. Here, we report the identification and molecular epidemiology of PCV3 in swine in Thailand from clinical samples retrieved from 2006 to 2017. The epidemiological data revealed co‐infection with PCV2, PRRSV, and PCV2/PRRSV was common in our samples. Circulating PCV3 from this study shared a high similarity of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the partial capsid gene (96.7%–100% and 96.7%–100% respectively), indicated the genetic stability of PCV3 in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis based on the capsid gene revealed scatter clustering with current PCV3 having no relation to the geographical origin of the virus strains. In this retrospective study, results have demonstrated that PCV3 has spread extensively within Thai swine from as early as 2006 and may also be involved in PRDC and PCVAD.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a causative agent of porcine circovirus‐associated disease (PCVAD), which is a serious problem in the swine industry worldwide. In recent years, nonporcine‐origin PCV2 has attracted more and more attention of the researchers. This study reported on the first identification of PCV2 in farmed foxes with reproductive failure. Three fox‐origin PCV2 strains were successfully isolated, sequenced, and designated as FoxHB1, FoxHB2, and FoxHB3 respectively. Pairwise‐sequence comparisons of the complete genomes revealed that three fox‐origin PCV2 strains had nucleotide identities varied from 91.9% to 99.7% with representative strains of PCV2 different genotypes. Meanwhile, phylogenetic analysis based on complete genomes of 44 PCV2 strains indicated that the fox‐origin PCV2 strains belonged to Chinese epidemic genotypes PCV2b and PCV2d. These results provided the first supported evidence that PCV2 could infect foxes, implying that the cross‐species transmission of PCV2 would be a big threat to Chinese fur animal‐bearing industry.  相似文献

An approximately 3,000 finishing swine operation in the United States experienced an outbreak of an atypical neurologic disease in 11‐weeks‐old pigs with an overall morbidity of 20% and case fatality rate of 30%. The clinical onset and progression of signs in affected pigs varied but included inappetence, compromised ambulation, ataxia, incoordination, mental dullness, paresis, paralysis and decreased response to environmental stimuli. Tissues from affected pigs were submitted for diagnostic investigation. Histopathologic examination of the cerebrum, cerebellum and spinal cord revealed severe lymphoplasmacytic and necrotizing polioencephalomyelitis with multifocal areas of gliosis and neuron satellitosis, suggestive of a neurotropic viral infection. Bacterial pathogens were not isolated by culture of neurologic tissue from affected pigs. Samples tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were negative for pseudorabies virus and atypical porcine pestivirus. Immunohistochemistry for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, porcine circovirus and Listeria was negative. Porcine sapelovirus (PSV) was identified in spinal cord by a nested PCR used to detect porcine enterovirus, porcine teschovirus and PSV. Next‐generation sequencing of brainstem and spinal cord samples identified PSV and the absence of other or novel pathogens. In addition, Sapelovirus A mRNA was detected in neurons and nerve roots of the spinal cord by in situ hybridization. The PSV is genetically novel with an overall 94% amino acid identity and 86% nucleotide identity to a recently reported sapelovirus from Korea. This is the first case report in the United States associating sapelovirus with severe polioencephalomyelitis in pigs.  相似文献

The major enteric RNA viruses in pigs include porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine rotavirus A (PRV‐A), porcine kobuvirus (PKV), porcine sapovirus (PSaV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV). For differential diagnosis, a multiplex RT‐PCR method was established on the basis of the N genes of TGEV, PEDV and PDCoV, the VP7 gene of PRV‐A, and the polyprotein genes of PKV and PSaV. This multiplex RT‐PCR could specifically detect TGEV, PEDV, PDCoV, PRV‐A, PKV and PSaV without cross‐reaction to any other major viruses circulating in Chinese pig farms. The limit of detection of this method was as low as 100–101 ng cDNA of each virus. A total of 398 swine faecal samples collected from nine provinces of China between October 2015 and April 2017 were analysed by this established multiplex RT‐PCR. The results demonstrated that PDCoV (144/398), PSaV (114/398), PEDV (78/398) and PRV‐A (70/398) were the main pathogens, but TGEV was not found in the pig herds in China. In addition, dual infections, for example, PDCoV + PSaV, PDCoV + PRV‐A, PRA‐V + PSaV and PEDV + PDCoV, and triple infections, for example, PDCoV + PRV‐A + PSaV and PEDV + PDCoV + PKV, were found among the collected samples. The multiplex RT‐PCR provided a valuable tool for the differential diagnosis of swine enteric viruses circulating in Chinese pig farms and will facilitate the prevention and control of swine diarrhoea in China.  相似文献

In pigs, three circovirus species within the genus Circovirus have been identified so far, including the non‐pathogenic Porcine circovirus 1 (PCV1), the pathogenic Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and the recently identified Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3). In April 2019, a new circovirus with a distinct relationship to other circoviruses was identified in several pigs with severe clinical disease in Hunan province, China. The size of the viral genome, tentatively designated as porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4), is 1,770 nucleotides (nt). PCV4 shows the highest genomic identity to mink circovirus (66.9%) and has identities of 43.2%–51.5% to the other PCV genomes. Two major genes, a replicase (Rep) gene spanning 891 nt and a capsid (Cap) gene spanning 687 nt, were predicted. Furthermore, a TaqMan® real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the replicase gene was developed to investigate the prevalence of PCV4 in 187 clinical samples from Hunan province, China. The results revealed an overall PCV4 prevalence of 12.8%, with the highest positive rates in nasal swabs (28.5%, 6/21) followed by serum samples (13.4%, 11/82). The clinical significance and pathogenesis of this virus needs further investigation.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) has emerged as a potential threat for swine industry, being consistently reported in the presence of several clinical signs all around the world. Recently, its presence in wild boar has been demonstrated at high prevalence. This evidence is surprising since the lower density of wild populations might not be expected to sustain such efficient viral transmission. Porcine circoviruses were proven to exhibit a certain plasticity in the host tropism and were detected in unrelated species, like mice, dogs and ruminants. However, if this scenario applies also to wild animals remains to be established. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the presence of PCV‐3 in wild ungulates other than wild boar and in related hematophagous ectoparasites. One hundred and nine animals were sampled from different hilly and mountain areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, including 9 chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra), 17 red deer (Cervus elaphus), 4 mouflons (Ovis musimon), 50 roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and 29 wild boars (Sus scrofa). Additionally, host‐matched ectoparasites were collected when present. Porcine circovirus 3 was diagnosed using molecular techniques and sequencing. This study results confirmed the high PCV‐3 occurrence in wild boar and reported for the first time its presence, at low prevalence, in chamois and roe deer. Moreover, two ticks (Ixodes ricinus), one of which non‐engorged, collected from PCV‐3 negative roe deer, tested PCV‐3 positive. The genetic characterization of some of the strains collected from non‐swine hosts allowed to prove that, albeit clearly part of PCV‐3 species, they were genetically unique, demonstrating the absence of among‐samples contamination and thus confirming the actual presence of PCV‐3 genome in these new hosts. Therefore, this study highlights an unexpected broad PCV‐3 distribution and circulation in the wild, rising further questions on porcine circoviruses infectious cycle, epidemiology and origin, which will deserve additional investigations.  相似文献

Mulberry heart disease (MHD) in pigs is characterized by lesions of acute haemorrhagic myocarditis and myocardial necrosis. The objectives of this study were to determine the levels of vitamin E and selenium and 13 other trace minerals in heart and liver tissues and to determine the prevalence of certain viral infections in heart tissues from MHD‐affected and MHD‐unaffected pigs and the vitamin E and selenium concentration in feed samples from selected farms with MHD. Based on the pathological examination, 114 pigs were separated into MHD lesion‐negative (L‐NEG) (n = 57) and MHD lesion‐positive (L‐POS) (n = 57) groups. Seventy‐three samples (40 L‐NEG and 33 L‐POS) were subjected to chemical analysis, and 66 (32 L‐NEG and 34 L‐POS) were subjected to PCR detection for viral pathogens. Lower (P < 0.05) levels of myocardial copper, lower (P < 0.05) levels of hepatic magnesium and higher (P < 0.05) levels of myocardial and hepatic sodium were detected in the L‐POS cases. Although lower (P < 0.05) levels of hepatic selenium were detected in L‐POS group, all were within the normal range. Analysis of feed samples (n = 22) revealed that selenium levels in all the samples were above the legal limit (0.3 ppm) for pigs. Vitamin E levels in all feed samples were above 20 IU/kg. Among the 66 pigs subjected to PCR detection, there were 19, 4, 13, 8, 2 and 1 animals positive for porcine circovirus type 2, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, pan‐herpes virus, porcine enterovirus, pan‐pestivirus and porcine parvovirus, respectively. Clear evidence of viral association with L‐POS was lacking.  相似文献

A serosurvey on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV), Aujeszky’s disease virus gE protein (ADV gE), porcine parvovirus (PPV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was carried out in Spanish pig herds. The serosurvey consisted of two studies. First, a retrospective study assessed the proportion of seropositive boar, sow and fattening pig herds and their seroprevalences to PRRSV, SIV, ADV gE and PPV from 2003 to 2005 and to PCV2 from 2000 to 2005. Such information was obtained from routine serologic analyses from two veterinary diagnostic laboratory services. Second, a cross‐sectional study in sow and fattening pig herds from 44 farms (without vaccination interferences on serologic analyses) was performed to provide information on seroprevalences and co‐seropositivity to PRRSV, SIV, ADV gE and PCV2 (PPV was excluded because of widespread vaccination) and to elucidate their relationships with farm characteristics, management and productive parameters. Similar seroprevalences were observed in both studies, although some variations were obtained, probably because of vaccination schedules, number of tested sera, sampling age and regional variations. Percentage of PRRSV and SIV seropositive herds was over 85% for sows, around 80% for fatteners and around 50% for boar studs. The proportion of ADV gE seropositive sow herds decreased from 41% to 30% between 2003 and 2005, whereas such decrease was from 41% to 33% in fattening pig herds and from 13% to 4% in boar studs PCV2 antibodies were widespread as well as those against PPV; in the latter case, if antibodies were elicited by infection and/or vaccination was not assessed. Concurrent presence of PCV2, PRRSV and SIV antibodies was found in 89% and 66% sow and fattening herds, respectively. No statistical associations were obtained between seroprevalences or co‐seropositivity and farm characteristics, management or productive parameters.  相似文献

The emerging porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has been reported in Chinese swine herds since 2017. We performed a nationwide investigation on the prevalence of PCV3 in pig breeding farms and slaughterhouses in China. A total of 4,040 tonsil samples were collected from 89 farms in 25 provinces, and 1,419 lymph node samples were collected from 50 slaughterhouses in 27 provinces. The PCR results showed that in pig breeding farms, the positive rate was 41.6% (37/89) at the farm level and 5.0% (201/4040) at the individual level. In the slaughterhouses, the positive rate was 62.0% (31/50) at the farm level and 8.0% (114/1419) at the individual level. The PCR‐positive samples were further sequenced, and 19 new PCV3 isolates were identified. The complete genomes of the 19 virus isolates showed 97.4%–99.7% nucleotide identity with other PCV3 isolates. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 19 isolates were divided into PCV3a and PCV3b genotype clusters based on the PCV3 complete genome sequences. This study indicated that PCV3 has spread extensively in both pig breeding farms and slaughterhouses. The positive rate of PCV3 was higher in eastern China compared to other regions in China. Furthermore, this study will help us understand the prevalence and genetic variation of PCV3 in Chinese swine herds.  相似文献

In this study, a rapid and specific assay for the detection of porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV 3) was established using loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP ). Four primers were specifically designed to amplify PCV 3. The LAMP assay was effectively optimized to amplify PCV 3 by water bath at 60°C for 60 min. The detection limit was approximately 1 × 101 copy in this LAMP assay. Compared to porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV 2), both gE and gD genes of pseudorabies virus (PRV ) and porcine parvovirus (PPV ), the LAMP assay showed a high specific detection of PCV 3. A visible detection method was developed using SYBR Green I to recognize the results rapidly. Based on the detection of 20 clinical tissue samples, the LAMP assay was more practical and convenient than classical PCR due to its simplicity, high sensitivity, rapidity, specificity, visibility and cost efficiency.  相似文献

Abstract: Background: The lack of human donor organs in allotransplantation has led to a proposal for the use of porcine tissues and organs as alternative therapeutic material for humans. Besides immunological problems like graft rejection, one of the major concerns is the transmission of porcine microorganisms as viruses, bacteria and fungi to a human recipient. Methods: Human cell lines have been infected with porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) to investigate whether PCV can infect and replicate in human epithelial cells and lymphocytes. Infection of PCV1 was observed with 293, Hela and Chang liver cells, infection with PCV2 only in Rd cells. In addition, religated viral DNA of PCV1 and PCV2 has been used to transfect adherent human cell lines. Results: PCV1 persisted in most cell lines without causing any visible changes, while PCV2‐transfected cells showed a cytopathogenic effect. Presence of PCV DNA was detected in cells and supernatant by PCR, expression of viral proteins by an indirect immune fluorescence assay. A replication assay showed that the replication of PCV DNA was initiated at the origin of replication. When virus‐free cells were inoculated with the supernatant of PCV‐infected human cells, the infection was not passed. Conclusion: Although PCV gene expression and replication took place in human cells, the infection is non‐productive. Alteration of protein localization suggests that protein targeting may be disturbed in human cells.  相似文献

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has varied constantly and circulated in the pig industry worldwide. The prevention and control of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is complicated. A visual, sensitive and specific diagnostic method is advantageous to the control of PRRS. The collateral cleavage activity of LwCas13a is activated to degrade non‐targeted RNA, when crRNA of LwCas13a bond to target RNA. The enhanced Cas13a detection is the combination of collateral cleavage activity of LwCas13a and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). In this study, the enhanced Cas13a detection for PRRSV was established. The novel method was an isothermal detection at 37°C, and the detection can be used for real‐time analysis or visual readout. The detection limit of the enhanced Cas13a detection was 172 copies/μl, and there were no cross‐reactions with porcine circovirus 2, porcine parvovirus, classical swine fever virus and pseudorabies virus. The enhanced Cas13a detection can work well in clinical samples. In summary, a visual, sensitive and specific nucleic acid detection method based on CRISPR‐Cas13a was developed for PRRSV.  相似文献

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a novel circovirus species recently discovered in USA and China in cases of porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome, reproductive failure, respiratory disease and multisystemic inflammation. This study reports on the first identification of PCV3 in Europe, in serum from pigs from Polish farms. A total of 1,050 serum samples were collected between 2014 and 2017 from sows and 3–20 weeks old pigs from 14 commercial farms representing different regions of Poland, different size and health status. The samples were pooled by 4–6 and tested with real‐time PCR for PCV3. PCV3 DNA was detected in 12 of 14 farms (85.7%). On the PCV3‐positive farms, the virus was detected in 5.9% to 65% serum pools. PCV3 was most common among weaned pigs and finishers (26.1% and 28.0% of serum pools, respectively). Sequence analysis of 359 nucleotide fragment of ORF2 showed highest identity of 99.7% to PCV3‐US/SD2016 from USA. Our results indicate that PCV3 is a common virus among Polish pigs but no links to unexplained disease conditions were established.  相似文献

In 2007, Vietnam experienced swine disease outbreaks causing clinical signs similar to the ‘porcine high fever disease’ that occurred in China during 2006. Analysis of diagnostic samples from the disease outbreaks in Vietnam identified porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV‐2). Additionally, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus were cultured from lung and spleen, and Streptococcus suis from one spleen sample. Genetic characterization of the Vietnamese PRRSV isolates revealed that this virus belongs to the North American genotype (type 2) with a high nucleotide identity to the recently reported Chinese strains. Amino acid sequence in the nsp2 region revealed 95.7–99.4% identity to Chinese strain HUN4, 68–69% identity to strain VR‐2332 and 58–59% identity to strain MN184. A partial deletion in the nsp2 gene was detected; however, this deletion did not appear to enhance the virus pathogenicity in the inoculated pigs. Animal inoculation studies were conducted to determine the pathogenicity of PRRSV and to identify other possible agents present in the original specimens. Pigs inoculated with PRRSV alone and their contacts showed persistent fever, and two of five pigs developed cough, neurological signs and swollen joints. Necropsy examination showed mild to moderate bronchopneumonia, enlarged lymph nodes, fibrinous pericarditis and polyarthritis. PRRSV was re‐isolated from blood and tissues of the inoculated and contact pigs. Pigs inoculated with lung and spleen tissue homogenates from sick pigs from Vietnam developed high fever, septicaemia, and died acutely within 72 h, while their contact pigs showed no clinical signs throughout the experiment. Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus was cultured, and PRRSV was re‐isolated only from the inoculated pigs. Results suggest that the cause of the swine deaths in Vietnam is a multifactorial syndrome with PRRSV as a major factor.  相似文献
