First report of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) in pigs from Poland.

ABSTRACT: Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) are swine coronaviruses belonging to the genus Alphacoronavirus in the family Coronaviridae. To date, there are no reports on the prevalence and genetic characterization of these viruses in domestic pigs from Poland. In this study, 828 serum samples were tested by TGEV/PRCV immunoassay to estimate TGEV and PRCV seroprevalence, while 277 nasal swabs and 221 stool samples were tested by real-time PCR to detect viral RNA. Our results revealed that 2.2% (95% CI 1.2, 3.2) of serum samples were positive for anti-TGEV antibodies, while 12.2% (95% CI 9.8, 14.4) of samples were positive for anti-PRCV antibodies. 2.5% (95% CI 1.5, 2.6) and 5.2% (95% CI 3.7, 6.7) of serum samples were inconclusive for TGEV a
