Genetic characterization and pathogenicity analysis of three porcine epidemic diarrhea virus strains isolated from North China.

ABSTRACT: Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious intestinal disease owing to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection. It is extremely detrimental to newborn piglets and has caused huge economic losses to the global pig industry. In this study, three PEDV strains of G2a PEDV-WF/2023, G2b PEDV-SX/2024 and PEDV-HS/2024 were successfully isolated from small intestine tissue samples with the analysis of their molecular structure characteristics, genetic characteristics and pathogenicity. Notably, these three PEDV strains had multiple unique aa mutations and extensive N-glycosylation in the D0 region, S1-NTD, COE epitope and SS6, respectively. Therefore, their structures were different compared to CV777 and PT-P5 strains. Furthermore, all the three PEDV strains caused severe clini
