[PMID: 38908108 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and rotavirus has posed a significant threat to the pig industry annually across different nations, resulting in huge economic losses. The frequent co-infection of these two viruses in clinical settings complicates the process of differential diagnoses. Rapid and accurate detection of PEDV and rotavirus is in great demand for timely diarrhea disease prevention and control. In this study, tris stabilized AuNPs were prepared and a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) sensor was developed for the simultaneous and rapid detection of PEDV and rotavirus on site. After the system optimization, the established LFIA can simultaneously identify PEDV and rotavirus with limits of detection (LOD) of 1.25 × 103 TCID50 mL-1 and 3.13 × 102 pg mL-1, respectively. When applying for clinical samples, the LFIA show a concordance of 95 % and 100 % to reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for PEDV and rotavirus respectively. Therefore, this LFIA can qualitatively detect PEDV and rotavirus in 18 min with high sensitivity and accuracy without any sophisticated equipment and operation, making it a promising candidate for the early diagnosis of PEDV or/and rotavirus diarrhea on site.

Development of a multiplex reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (qPCR) method for detecting common causative agents of swine viral diarrhea in China. Porcine Health Manag 2024; 10:12. [PMID: 38444040 PMCID: PMC10916220 DOI: 10.1186/s40813-024-00364-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diarrheal diseases caused by viral agents have led to a great morbidity, mortality, and economic loss in global pig industry. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and group A porcine rotavirus (RVA) are main causative agents of swine viral diarrhea with similar clinical signs on Chinese farms and their co-infection is also common. However, it is still lack of a convenient method to detect these four agents. METHODS A TaqMan multiplex qPCR method was developed to detect PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and RVA, simultaneously. This method was then applied to investigate 7,342 swine fecal samples or rectal swabs, as well as 1,246 swine intestinal samples collected from 2075 farms in China in 2022. RESULTS Minimum detection limits of this method were 3 copies/µL for PEDV, 4 copies/µL for TGEV, 8 copies/µL for RVA, and 8 copies/µL for PDCoV, suggesting a good sensitivity. No signals were observed by using this method detecting other viral agents commonly prevalent in pigs, which is suggestive of a good specificity. Application of this method on investigating clinical samples demonstrated a relatively high positive rate for PEDV (22.21%, 1907/8588) and RVA (44.00%, 3779/8588). In addition, co-infection between PEDV and RVA was observed on 360 investigated farms, accounting for 17.35% (360/2075) of the farms where co-infection events were screened. CONCLUSIONS A TaqMan multiplex qPCR method targeting PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and RVA was developed in this study. This method demonstrated a good specificity and sensitivity on investigating these four common viruses responsible for viral diarrhea on Chinese pig farms, which represents a convenient method for the monitoring and differential diagnosis of swine viral diarrhea.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an acute and highly contagious porcine enteric coronavirus. It has caused serious economic losses of pig industry in China. Here we insolated a current PEDV field strain named GS2022, analyzed the characters of genetic variation and pathogenicity. The results demonstrated that the GS2022 strain was belong to a newly defined subgroup G2 d, forming an independent branch which mainly contains strains isolated in China from 2017 to 2023. Notably, there are multiple mutations and extensive N-glycosylation compared to CV777 strain and PT-P5 strain, therefore the structure of GS2022 strain is different from 6U7K and 7W6M. Animal pathogenicity test showed that GS2022 strain could cause severe clinical signs and the high level of virus shedding in 7-day-old piglets. But recovery of diarrhea after 5 days, and no pathological damage to important organs. Further study on 3-day-old piglets also indicated GS2022 strain have pathogenicity. In this study no piglets died, which make it possible for that GS2022 strain become a candidate vaccine. These results are helpful to understand the epidemiology, molecular characteristics, evolution, and antigenicity of PEDV circulating in China. It also provides reference for designing effective vaccines against PEDV.

Virol J 2024; 21:28. [PMID: 38268010 PMCID: PMC10807084 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-023-02233-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an infectious disease of the digestive tract caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), characterized by vomiting, severe diarrhea, and high mortality rates in piglets. In recent years, the distribution of this disease in China has remarkably increased, and its pathogenicity has also increased. PEDV has been identified as the main cause of viral diarrhea in piglets. This study aimed to understand the genetic evolution and diversity of PEDV to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new vaccines and the prevention and treatment of PED. METHODS A PEDV strain was isolated from the small intestine of a diarrheal piglet using Vero cells. The virus was identified using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and transmission electron microscopy. The whole genome sequence was sequenced, phylogenetic analysis was conducted using MEGA (version 7.0), and recombination analysis was performed using RDP4 and SimPlot. The S protein amino acid sequence was aligned using Cluster X (version 2.0), and the S protein was modeled using SWISS-MODEL to compare differences in structure and antigenicity. Finally, the piglets were inoculated with PEDV to evaluate its pathogenicity in newborn piglets. RESULT PEDV strain CH/HLJ/18 was isolated. CH/HLJ/18 shared 89.4-99.2% homology with 52 reference strains of PEDV belonging to the GII-a subgroup. It was a recombinant strain of PEDV BJ-2011-1 and PEDV CH_hubei_2016 with a breakpoint located in ORF1b. Unique amino acid deletions and mutations were observed in the CH/HLJ/18 S protein. The piglets then developed severe watery diarrhea and died within 7 d of inoculation with CH/HLJ/18, suggesting that CH/HLJ/18 was highly pathogenic to newborn piglets. CONCLUSION A highly pathogenic recombinant PEDV GII-a strain, CH/HLJ/18, was identified in China, with unique deletion and mutation of amino acids in the S protein that may lead to changes in protein structure and antigenicity. These results will be crucial for understanding the prevalence and variation of PEDV and for preventing and controlling PED.

Abstract
Since the large-scale outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED) in 2010, caused by the genotype 2 (G2) variant of the porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), pig farms in China, even those vaccinated with the G2b vaccine, have experienced infections from the G2a variant, leading to significant economic losses. This study successfully isolated the G2a strain DY2020 from positive small intestine contents (SICs) by blind passage on Vero cells for four generations. The SICs were taken from Daye, Hubei Province, China. The biological characteristics were identified by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The growth kinetics of the strain on Vero cells were detected by TCID50, and the virus titre could reach 107.35 TCID50 ml-1 (SD: 5.07×106). The pathogenicity towards colostrum-deprived piglets was conducted by assessing faecal viral shedding, morphometric analysis of intestinal lesions, and immunohistochemical staining. The results showed that DY2020 was highly virulent to colostrum-deprived piglets, with severe watery diarrhoea and other clinical symptoms appeared at 6 h post-infection (h p.i.), and all died within 30 h. Pathological tissue examination results showed that the lesions mainly occurred in the intestines of piglets, causing pathological changes such as shortening of intestinal villi. In summary, the discovery of the G2a strain DY2020 in this study is of great significance for understanding Hubei PEDV and provides an important theoretical basis for the development of new efficient PEDV vaccines.

Abstract
Swine enteric coronaviruses (SECs) cause significant economic losses to the pig industry in China. Although many commercialized vaccines against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) are available, viruses are still widespread. The recent emergence of porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), for which no vaccines are available, increases the disease burden. In this review, we first introduced the genomic organization and epidemiology of SECs in China. Then, we discussed the current vaccine development and application in China, aiming to provide suggestions for better prevention and control of SECs in China and other countries.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is an enterophilic infectious disease caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), which can lead to dehydration-like diarrhea in piglets with a mortality rate of up to 100%, causing huge economic losses to the global pig industry. In this study, we isolated two PEDV strains, FS202201 and JY202201, from diarrheal samples collected from two new PED outbreak farms in 2022. We performed phylogenetic analysis of the S gene and whole gene sequence. The effects of the different mutations on viral pathogenicity were investigated using piglet challenge experiments. The results showed that both strains belong to the G2c subtype, a widely prevalent virulent strain. Compared with FS202201, JY202201 harbored substitution and deletion mutations in nsp1. Both FS202201 and JY202201 infected piglets showed severe diarrhea and significant intestinal tissue lesions at an infection dose of 104 TCID50/mL, with a mortality rate of 50%; however, JY202201 required an additional day to reach mortality stabilization. An infection dose of 103 TCID50/mL reduced diarrhea and intestinal tissue lesions in piglets, with mortality rates of the two strains at 16.7% and 0%, respectively. In addition, PEDV was detected in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, mesenteric lymph nodes, stomach, large intestine, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, with the highest levels in the intestinal tissues. In conclusion, this study enriches the epidemiology of PEDV and provides a theoretical basis for the study of its pathogenic mechanism and prevention through virus isolation, identification, and pathogenicity research on newly identified PED in the main transmission hub area of PEDV in China (Guangdong).

Hou W, Wu H, Wang S, Wang W, Wang B, Wang H. Designing a multi-epitope vaccine to control porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection using immunoinformatics approaches. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1264612. [PMID: 37779715 PMCID: PMC10538973 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1264612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a continuously evolving pathogen, causes severe diarrhea in piglets with high mortality rates. However, current vaccines cannot provide complete protection against PEDV, so vaccine development is still necessary and urgent. Here, with the help of immunoinformatics approaches, we attempted to design a multi-epitope vaccine named rPMEV to prevent and control PEDV infection. The epitopes of rPMEV were constructed by 9 cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes (CTLs), 11 helper T lymphocyte epitopes (HTLs), 6 linear B cell epitopes (LBEs), and 4 conformational B cell epitopes (CBEs) based on the S proteins from the four representative PEDV G2 strains. To enhance immunogenicity, porcine β-defensin-2 (PBD-2) was adjoined to the N-terminal of the vaccine as an adjuvant. All of the epitopes and PBD-2 were joined by corresponding linkers and recombined into the multivalent vaccine, which is stable, antigenic, and non-allergenic. Furthermore, we adopted molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation methods to analyze the interaction of rPMEV with the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4): a stable interaction between them created by 13 hydrogen bonds. In addition, the results of the immune simulation showed that rPMEV could stimulate both cellular and humoral immune responses. Finally, to raise the expression efficiency, the sequence of the vaccine protein was cloned into the pET28a (+) vector after the codon optimization. These studies indicate that the designed multi-epitope vaccine has a potential protective effect, providing a theoretical basis for further confirmation of its protective effect against PEDV infection in vitro and in vivo studies.

Investigation and analysis of porcine epidemic diarrhea cases and evaluation of different immunization strategies in the large-scale swine farming system. Porcine Health Manag 2023; 9:36. [PMID: 37537653 PMCID: PMC10401829 DOI: 10.1186/s40813-023-00331-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a contagious intestinal disease caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and dehydration, which has caused huge economic losses around the world. However, it is very hard to find completely valid approaches to control the transmission of PEDV. At present, vaccine immunity remains the most effective method. To better control the spread of PED and evaluate the validity of different immunization strategies, 240 PED outbreak cases from 577 swine breeding farms were collected and analyzed. The objective of the present study was to analyze the epidemic regularity of PEDV and evaluate two kinds of different immunization strategies for controlling PED. RESULTS The results showed that the main reasons which led to the outbreak of PED were the movement of pig herds between different pig farms (41.7%) and delaying piglets from the normal production flow (15.8%). The prevalence of PEDV in the hot season (May to October) was obviously higher than that in the cold season (January to April, November to December). Results of different vaccine immunity cases showed that immunization with the highly virulent live vaccine (NH-TA2020 strain) and the commercial inactivated vaccine could significantly decrease the frequency of swine breeding farms (5.9%), the duration of PED epidemic (1.70 weeks), and the week batches of dead piglets (0.48 weeks weaned piglets), compared with immunization with commercial attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccine of PED. Meanwhile, immunization with the highly virulent live vaccine and the commercial inactivated vaccine could bring us more cash flows of Y̶275,274 per year than immunization with commercial live attenuated vaccine and inactivated vaccine in one 3000 sow pig farm within one year. CONCLUSION Therefore, immunization with highly virulent live vaccine and inactivated vaccine of PED is more effective and economical in the prevention and control of PED in the large-scale swine farming system.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a re-emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus, has become the predominant causative agent of lethal diarrhea in piglets, resulting in huge economic losses in many countries. Furthermore, the rapid variability of this virus has increased the emergence of novel variants with different pathogenicities. In this study, 633 fecal samples collected from diarrheic piglets in China during 2017-2019 were analyzed, and 50.08% (317/633) of these samples were PEDV-positive. The full-length spike (S) genes of 36 samples were sequenced, and a genetic evolution analysis was performed. The results showed that thirty S genes belonged to the GII-a genotype and six S genes belonged to the GII-b genotype. From the PEDV-positive samples, one strain, designated ECQ1, was successfully isolated, and its full-length genome sequence was determined. Interestingly, ECQ1 is a recombinant PEDV between the GII-a (major parent) and GII-b (minor parent) strains, with recombination occurring in the S2 domain of the S gene. The pathogenicity of ECQ1 was assessed in 5-day-old piglets and compared with that of the strain EHuB2, a representative of GII-a PEDV. Although both PEDV strains induced similar fecal viral shedding in the infected piglets, ECQ1 exhibited lower pathogenicity than did EHuB2, as evidenced by reduced mortality and less severe pathological changes in the intestines. These data suggest that PEDV strain ECQ1 is a potential live virus vaccine candidate against porcine epidemic diarrhea.

Death Receptor DR5 as a Proviral Factor for Viral Entry and Replication of Coronavirus PEDV. Viruses 2022; 14:v14122724.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a member of Coronaviridae, causes high mortality in newborn piglets, and has caused significant economic losses in the pig industry. PEDV infection can induce apoptosis, both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent, but the details of apoptosis remain clarified. This study investigated the effect of death receptor DR5 on PEDV infection and its relationship with PEDV-induced apoptosis. We found that DR5 knockdown reduced viral mRNA and protein levels of PEDV, and the viral titer decreased from 104.5 TCID50 to 103.4 TCID50 at 12 hpi. Overexpression of DR5 significantly increased the viral titer. Further studies showed that DR5 facilitates viral replication by regulating caspase-8-dependent apoptosis, and the knockdown of DR5 significantly reduced PEDV-induced apoptosis. Interestingly, we detected a biphasic upregulation expression of DR5 in both Vero cells and piglets in response to PEDV infection. We found that DR5 also facilitates viral entry of PEDV, especially, incubation with DR5 antibody can reduce the PEDV binding to Vero cells. Our study improves the understanding of the mechanism by which PEDV induces apoptosis and provides new insights into the biological function of DR5 in PEDV infection.
