Project description:Atypical porcine pestiviruses (APPV; Pestivirus K) are a recently discovered, very divergent species of the genus Pestivirus within the family Flaviviridae. The presence of APPV in piglet-producing farms is associated with the occurrence of so-called "shaking piglets," suffering from mild to severe congenital tremor type A-II. Previous studies showed that the cellular protein DNAJC14 is an essential cofactor of the NS2 autoprotease of all classical pestiviruses. Consequently, genetically engineered DNAJC14 knockout cell lines were resistant to all tested noncytopathogenic (non-cp) pestiviruses. Surprisingly, we found that the non-cp APPV can replicate in these cells in the absence of DNAJC14, suggesting a divergent mechanism of polyprotein processing. A complete laboratory system for the study of APPV was established to learn more about the replication of this unusual virus. The inactivation of the APPV NS2 autoprotease using reverse genetics resulted in nonreplicative genomes. To further investigate whether a regulation of the NS2-3 cleavage is also existing in APPV, we constructed synthetic viral genomes with deletions and duplications leading to the NS2 independent release of mature NS3. As observed with other pestiviruses, the increase of mature NS3 resulted in elevated viral RNA replication levels and increased protein expression. Our data suggest that APPV exhibit a divergent mechanism for the regulation of the NS2 autoprotease activity most likely utilizing a different cellular protein for the adjustment of replication levels. IMPORTANCE DNAJC14 is an essential cofactor of the pestiviral NS2 autoprotease, limiting replication to tolerable levels as a prerequisite for the noncytopathogenic biotype of pestiviruses. Surprisingly, we found that the atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is able to replicate in the absence of DNAJC14. We further investigated the NS2-3 processing of APPV using a molecular clone, monoclonal antibodies, and DNAJC14 knockout cells. We identified two potential active site residues of the NS2 autoprotease and could demonstrate that the release of NS3 by the NS2 autoprotease is essential for APPV replication. Defective interfering genomes and viral genomes with duplicated NS3 sequences that produce mature NS3 independent of the NS2 autoprotease activity showed increased replication and antigen expression. It seems likely that an alternative cellular cofactor controls NS2-3 cleavage and thus replication of APPV. The replication-optimized synthetic APPV genomes might be suitable live vaccine candidates, whose establishment and testing warrant further research.

Project description:Pestiviruses are highly variable RNA viruses. A growing number of novel pestiviruses has been discovered in domestic and wild species in the last two decades. Recently, a novel atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) linked with the development of congenital tremor (CT) in neonatal pigs was described in Europe and the Americas. Here, the first Asian APPV complete polyprotein coding sequence was assembled from serum samples from newborn piglets affected with CT in Southern China, and termed APPV_GD. 14 organ samples from affected piglets were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) to investigate the tissue tropism of APPV, and 135 serum samples from pigs from 10 farms were used for identifying APPV in adult pigs. The highest genome loads were found in submaxillary lymph nodes, and PCR-based detection showed that APPV genomes were present in seven samples from five farms. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the full-length genomes of the pestiviruses, and APPV_GD appeared on a new branch with another newly discovered APPV. Nucleotide identity analysis demonstrated that APPV_GD shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity with a German APPV. Bayesian inference was performed using 25 partial sequences of the APPV NS5B gene (528 bp) isolated from four countries in recent years. According to this analysis, the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of the current APPV strains might have emerged in Germany and then diversified and spread to Asia, the Americas, and other countries in Europe. However, the result of bayesian inference could change when more APPV strains are isolated in the future. The present study is the first to report APPV in China and infers the origin and dissemination of the current strains of the virus.

Project description:Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV), an RNA virus member of the Flaviviridae family, has been associated with congenital tremor in newborn piglets. Previously reported quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based assays were unable to detect APPV in novel cases of congenital tremor originated from multiple farms from U.S. Midwest (MW). These assays targeted the viral polyprotein coding genes, which were shown to display substantial variation, with sequence identity ranging from 58.2% to 70.7% among 15 global APPV strains. In contrast, the 5'-untranslated region (5' UTR) was found to have a much higher degree of sequence conservation. In order to obtain the complete 5' UTR of the APPV strains originated from MW, the 5' end of the viral cDNA was obtained by using template switching approach followed by amplification and dideoxy sequencing. Eighty one percent of the 5' UTR was identical across 14 global and 5 MW strains with complete or relatively complete 5' UTR. Notably, some of the most highly conserved 5' UTR segments overlapped with potentially important regions of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), suggesting their functional role in viral protein translation. A newly designed single qPCR assay, targeting 100% conserved 5' UTR regions across 19 strains, was able to detect APPV in samples of well documented cases of congenital tremor which originated from five MW farm sites (1-18 samples/site). As these fully conserved 5' UTR sequences may have functional importance, we expect that assays targeting this region would broadly detect APPV strains that are diverse in space and time.

Project description:The genus Pestivirus, which belongs to the family Flaviviridae, includes ssRNA+ viruses responsible for infectious diseases in swine, cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic and wild animals. Recently, several putative pestiviruses species have been discovered and characterized in mammalian species (giraffe pestivirus, antelope pestivirus, HoBi virus, Bungowannah virus, and Linda virus); one of these is a genetically distinct pestivirus, named atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV), discovered using the next-generation sequencing technology. APPV has been detected in piglets with congenital tremor (CT) from four different continents, including North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. There is strong evidence that experimental inoculation and in field outbreaks involving APPV induce CT in piglets. Additionally, splay leg (SL) syndrome has been observed concurrently with CT, and it was induced by APPV in experimental studies and some field cases. Animals with a persistent and/or chronic infection condition can shed the virus over time. Viral-RNA is frequently detected in different tissues from CT-piglets; however, high loads of APPV are detected most consistently in central nervous tissue. Moreover, the APPV genome has been recently detected in semen and preputial swabs from boar studs, as well as in serum and tissue samples from wild boars and domestic adult pigs, all known to be clinically healthy. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the APPV sequence (complete or partial polyprotein) exhibits high genetic diversity between viral strains detected in different countries and formed independent clusters according to geographic location. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the molecular detection and sero-prevalence of APPV around the world. Lastly, more research is needed to understand clinical presentations associated with APPV infection, as well as the economic losses related to the virus in pig production worldwide.

Project description:In 2015, a new pestivirus was described in pig sera in the United States. This new "atypical porcine pestivirus" (APPV) was later associated with congenital tremor (CT) in newborn piglets. The virus appears to be distributed worldwide, but the limited knowledge of virus diversity and the use of various diagnostic tests prevent direct comparisons. Therefore, we developed an APPV-specific real-time RT-PCR assay in the 5'UTR of the viral genome to investigate both retro- and prospectively the strains present in Switzerland and their prevalence in domestic pigs. Overall, 1080 sera obtained between 1986 and 2018 were analyzed, revealing a virus prevalence of approximately 13% in pigs for slaughter, whereas it was less than 1% in breeding pigs. In the prospective study, APPV was also detected in piglets displaying CT. None of the samples could detect the Linda virus, which is another new pestivirus recently reported in Austria. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed a broad diversity of APP viruses in Switzerland that are considerably distinct from sequences reported from other isolates in Europe and overseas. This study indicates that APPV has already been widely circulating in Switzerland for many years, mainly in young animals, with 1986 being the earliest report of APPV worldwide.

Project description:Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) has been identified as the main causative agent for congenital tremor (CT) type A-II in piglets, which is threatening the health of the global swine herd. However, the evolution of APPV remains largely unknown. In this study, phylogenetic analysis showed that APPV could be divided into three phylogroups (I, II, and III). Phylogroups I and II included viral strains from China, while phylogroup III contained strains from Europe, North America, and Asia. Phylogroups I and II are tentatively thought to be of Chinese origin. Next, compositional property analysis revealed that a high frequency of nucleotide A and A-end codons was used in the APPV genome. Intriguingly, the analysis of preferred codons revealed that the AGA[Arg] and AGG[Arg] were overrepresented. Dinucleotide CC was found to be overrepresented, and dinucleotide CG was underrepresented. Furthermore, it was found that the weak codon usage bias of APPV was mainly dominated by selection pressures versus mutational forces. The codon adaptation index (CAI), relative codon deoptimization index (RCDI), and similarity index (SiD) analyses showed that the codon usage patterns of phylogroup II and III were more similar to the one of a pig than phylogroup I, suggesting that phylogroup II and III may be more adaptive to pigs. Overall, this study provides insights into APPV evolution through phylogeny and codon usage pattern analysis.

Project description:Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) was first discovered in North America in 2015 and was later shown to be associated with congenital tremor (CT) in piglets. CT is an occasional challenge in some Danish sow herds. Therefore, we initiated an observational case control study to clarify a possible relationship between CT and APPV in Danish pig production. Blood samples were collected from piglets affected by CT (n = 55) in ten different sow herds and from healthy piglets in five sow herds without a history of CT piglets (n = 25), as well as one sow herd with a sporadic occurrence of CT (n = 5). APPV was detected by RT-qPCR in all samples from piglets affected by CT and in three out of five samples from piglets in the herd with a sporadic occurrence of CT. In the herds without a history of CT, only one out of 25 piglets were positive for APPV. In addition, farmers or veterinarians in CT-affected herds were asked about their experience of the issue. CT is most often seen in gilt litters, and a substantial increase in pre-weaning mortality is only observed in severe cases. According to our investigations, APPV is a common finding in piglets suffering from CT in Denmark.
