First isolation, identification, and pathogenicity evaluation of an EV-G6 strain in China.

ABSTRACT: Enterovirus G (EV-G) belongs to the Picornaviridae family and infects porcine populations worldwide. A total of 20 EV-G genotypes (EV-G1 to EV-G20) have been identified. In this study, we isolated and characterized an EV-G strain, named EV-G/YN29/2022, from the feces of diarrheic pigs. This was the first EV-G6 strain isolated in China. Comparison of the whole genome nucleotide and corresponding amino acid sequences showed that the isolate was more closely related to those of the EV-G6 genotype than other genotypes, with the complete genome sequence similarity ranging from 83.7% (Iba46442) to 84.4% (PEV-B-KOR), and corresponding amino acid homology ranged from 96% (Iba46442) to 96.8% (PEV-B-KOR). Similarly, the VP1 gene and corresponding amino acid sequences of EV-G/YN29/2022 were highly si
