Genome Characterization of Mammalian Orthoreovirus and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Isolated from the Same Fattening Pig.

ABSTRACT: In 2020, severe diarrhea occurred in four-month-old fattening pigs from nine farms in Shandong Province, China. Fecal samples were collected from diseased pigs and tested by PCR for the presence of mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine rotavirus A (PoRVA), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine kobuvirus (PKV), and pseudorabies virus (PRV). The viral RNA of MRV and PEDV was detected in the fecal samples. The genome sequences of MRV and PEDV were successfully amplified from the same fecal sample. Genomic and phylogenetic analysis showed that the MRV isolate named MRV2-SD/2020 belongs to serotype 2 MRV (MRV2) and may originate from the reassortment of human and porcine MRVs. Compared with other MRV2 strai
