Abstract
There are four genogroups and 18 genotypes of human sapoviruses (HuSaVs) responsible for acute gastroenteritis. To comprehend their antigenic and virological differences, it is crucial to obtain viral stocks of the different strains. Previously, we utilized the human duodenum-derived cell line HuTu80, and glycocholate, a conjugated bile acid, to replicate and propagate GI.1, GI.2, and GII.3 HuSaVs (H. Takagi et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 117:32078-32085, 2020, https://10.1073/pnas.2007310117). First, we investigated the impact of HuTu80 passage number on HuSaV propagation. Second, we demonstrated that taurocholate improved the initial replication success rate and viral RNA levels in fecal specimens relative to glycocholate. By propagating 15 HuSaV genotypes (GI.1-7, GII.1-5, -8, and GV.1-2) and accomplishing preparation of viral stocks containing 1.0 × 109 to 3.4 × 1011 viral genomic copies/mL, we found that all strains required bile acids for replication, with GII.4 showing strict requirements for taurocholate. The deduced VP1 sequences of the viruses during the scale-up of serial passaged virus cultures were either identical or differed by only two amino acids from the original sequences in feces. In addition, we purified virions from nine strains of different genotypes and used them as immunogens for antiserum production. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) using rabbit and guinea pig antisera for each of the 15 strains of different genotypes revealed distinct antigenicity among the propagating viruses across genogroups and differences between genotypes. Acquisition of biobanked viral resources and determination of key culture conditions will be valuable to gain insights into the common mechanisms of HuSaV infection. IMPORTANCE The control of human sapovirus, which causes acute gastroenteritis in individuals of all ages, is challenging because of its association with outbreaks similar to those caused by human norovirus. The establishment of conditions for efficient viral propagation of various viral strains is essential for understanding the infection mechanism and identifying potential control methods. In this study, two critical factors for human sapovirus propagation in a conventional human duodenal cell line were identified, and 15 strains of different genotypes that differed at the genetic and antigenic levels were isolated and used to prepare virus stocks. The preparation of virus stocks has not been successful for noroviruses, which belong to the same family as sapoviruses. Securing virus stocks of multiple human sapovirus strains represents a significant advance toward establishing a reliable experimental system that does not depend on limited virus-positive fecal material.

Abstract
Sapovirus (SaV) is a nonenveloped RNA virus that causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Although SaV is a clinically important pathogen in children, an effective vaccine is currently unavailable. The capsid protein VP1 of SaVs forms the outer shell of the virion and is highly diverse, as often seen in the virion-surface proteins of RNA viruses, creating an obstacle for vaccine development. We here report a unique phenomenon pertaining to the variation of SaV VP1. Phylogenetic and information entropy analyses using full-length VP1 sequences from a public database consistently showed that the amino acid sequences of the VP1 protein have been highly conserved over more than 40 years in the major epidemic genotype GI.1 but not in GI.2. Structural modeling showed that even the VP1 P2 subdomain, which is arranged on the outermost shell of the virion and presumably exposed to anti-SaV antibodies, remained highly homogeneous in GI.1 but not in GI.2. These results suggest strong evolutionary constraints against amino acid changes in the P2 subdomain of the SaV GI.1 capsid and illustrate a hitherto unappreciated mechanism, i.e., preservation of the VP1 P2 subdomain, involved in SaV survival. Our findings could have important implications for the development of an anti-SaV vaccine.

Abstract
Human sapoviruses (HuSaVs) and noroviruses are considered the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. While extensive research has focused on noroviruses, our understanding of sapoviruses (SaVs) and their interactions with the host's immune response remains limited. HuSaVs have been challenging to propagate in vitro, making the porcine sapovirus (PSaV) Cowden strain a valuable model for studying SaV pathogenesis. In this study we show, for the first time, that PSaV Cowden strain has mechanisms to evade the host's innate immune response. The virus 3C-like protease (NS6) inhibits type I IFN production by targeting TBK1. Catalytically active NS6, both during ectopic expression and during PSaV infection, targets TBK1 which is then led for rapid degradation by the proteasome. Moreover, deletion of TBK1 from porcine cells led to an increase in PSaV titres, emphasizing its role in regulating PSaV infection. Additionally, we successfully established PSaV infection in IPEC-J2 cells, an enterocytic cell line originating from the jejunum of a neonatal piglet. Overall, this study provides novel insights into PSaV evasion strategies, opening the way for future investigations into SaV-host interactions, and enabling the use of a new cell line model for PSaV research.

An observational field study of porcine post-weaning diarrhea: clinical and microbiological findings, and fecal pH-measurements as a potential diagnostic tool. Porcine Health Manag 2023; 9:33. [PMID: 37434248 DOI: 10.1186/s40813-023-00325-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, in-feed medicinal zinc has been phased out in pig production in the European Union. This makes updated knowledge about porcine post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) crucial. The objectives of the present study were to investigate (i) the clinical presentation of PWD in pigs housed in Danish herds that did not use medicinal zinc, specifically the prevalence of diarrhea and whether PWD was associated to clinical signs of dehydration or altered body temperature; (ii) which microorganism are associated to PWD; and iii) whether measurements of the fecal pH have a potential to be used diagnostically to differentiate between infectious etiologies in cases of PWD. RESULTS The prevalence of diarrhea varied considerably between the outbreaks in the nine studied herds (median = 0.58, range = 0.10; 0.94). In a cross-sectional design (n = 923), diarrhea was associated with reduced rectal temperature and alkaline feces. Diarrhea was also associated with observably reduced skin elasticity, possibly indicating dehydration. In both diarrheic case pigs (n = 87) and control pigs (n = 86), the presence of Brachyspira pilosicoli, Clostridium perfringens, Cryptosporidium spp., Cystoisopora suis, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Lawsonia intracellularis, porcine circovirus types 2 and 3, rotavirus A, B, C, and H, Samonella enterica spp. enterica, and Trichuris suis was described. PWD was associated with high levels of enterotoxigenic E. coli shedding (odds ratio versus no E. coli detection = 4.79 [CI 1.14; 12.62]). Diarrhea was associated with high levels of rotavirus A shedding (odds ratio versus no/low rotavirus A = 3.80 [CI 1.33; 7.97]). The association between microbiological findings in diarrheic pigs and fecal pH was negligible. CONCLUSIONS Enterotoxigenic E. coli was confirmed to be a cause of PWD; however, cases of PWD where enterotoxigenic E. coli was not detected in high levels occurred commonly, and this adds to the increasing evidence suggesting that PWD is not necessarily a result of enteric colibacillosis. Rotaviral enteritis might be a differential diagnosis of PWD. pH-measurements cannot be used to differentiate between differential diagnoses for PWD.

Abstract
Porcine sapovirus (PoSaV) has been reported in many countries over the world, which may cause gastroenteritis symptoms in pigs with all ages. There has been no report on PoSaV infection in Vietnam up to now. In this study, a total of 102 samples were collected from piglets, fattening pigs, and sows with diarrhea in several cities and provinces in northern Vietnam. The PoSaV genome was examined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sequencing of the partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene sequences (324 bp) was performed. Of the 102 tested samples, 10 (9.8%) and 7/20 (35%) were detected as positive for the PoSaV RdRp gene using the PCR method at the individual and farm levels, respectively. Genetic analysis of the partial RdRp gene region of about 324 bp indicated that the nucleotide identity of the current 10 Vietnamese viral strains ranged from 61.39% to 100%. Among the 10 strains obtained, 8 belonged to genotype III and the remaining 2 strains were clustered in genotype VIII. The Vietnamese genotype III viruses formed two sub-clusters. The Vietnamese PoSaV strains were closely related to PoSaVs reported in South Korea, Venezuela, and the Netherlands. This research was the first to describe PoSaV infection in northern Vietnam during 2022-2023.

Abstract
Sapporo virus (SaV) is an emerging enteric virus causing acute gastroenteritis in animals. Here, we found a novel porcine SaV (PoSaV) strain (named SD2202) from the piglets with diarrhea in China in 2022. The highest nucleotide homology of SD2202 with other PoSaV strains is only 90.67%, and there are four amino acids insertion in the viral capsid protein and minor structural protein compared to other PoSaV; furthermore, we found that SD2202 belongs to a new GIII genogroup clade (GIII-6 clade). Interestingly, we found that SD2202 may be an intra-genogroup recombinant strain. Taken together, we found a novel PoSaV implicated in the piglet diarrhea epidemic and emphasized the importance of continuous surveillance of PoSaV.

Abstract
Sapovirus (SaV) infections are a public health problem because they cause acute gastroenteritis in humans of all ages both as outbreaks and in sporadic cases. However, publicly-available SaV sequence information, especially whole genome sequences for all the SaV genotypes, is still limited. Therefore, in this study, we determined the full/near-full-length genomic sequences of 138 SaVs from the 2001-2015 seasons in 13 prefectures across Japan. The GI genogroup was predominant (67%, n = 92), followed by GII (18%, n = 25), GIV (9%, n = 12), and GV (6%, n = 9). Within the GI genogroup, four different genotypes were identified, as follows: GI.1 (n=44), GI.2 (n=40), GI.3 (n=7), and GI.5 (n=1). We then compared these Japanese SaV sequences with a total of 3119 public human SaV sequences from 49 countries over the last 46 years. The results indicated that GI.1 and GI.2 have been the predominant genotypes in Japan as well as in other countries over at least four decades. Together with public SaV sequences, the 138 newly determined Japanese SaV sequences could facilitate a better understanding of the evolutionary patterns of SaV genotypes.

Abstract
As one of the most important enteric viruses, sapovirus (SaV) can infect humans and a variety of animals. Until now, 19 SaV genogroups have been identified, among which 4 from human (GI, GII, GIV, and GV) and 8 from swine (GIII, GV–GXI). Porcine sapovirus (PoSaV) GIII has been prevalent in China; however, the status of PoSaV infection in Yunnan province remains unknown. In this study, 202 fecal samples were collected from piglets associated with outbreaks of acute diarrhea in Yunnan between January and May 2020. PoSaV detection revealed that the total PoSaV infection rate in Yunnan was 35.2%, with 21 PoSaV strains determined and phylogenetically analyzed. The phylogenetic tree analyses demonstrated that twenty PoSaV strains belonged to GIII and fell into five genotypes, whereas one PoSaV strain (YNQB) belonged to GV. Sequence alignments revealed deletions in VP2 region in 10 of the 20 GIII strains, as well as deletions and insertions in VP1 region of the GV strain (YNQB). Furthermore, genomic recombination analyses showed that two GIII strains (YNAN and YNJD) were recombinants, closely related to reference sequences MK965898 and LC215880, MK965898 and FJ387164, respectively. In summary, PoSaV-GIII strains were identified in Yunnan in 2020, and for the first time, a PoSaV-GV strain was identified from China, whereas the comprehensive analyses illustrated high genetic diversity of Yunnan PoSaV strains. This study may shed new light on the current PoSaV infections in Yunnan and pave the way toward further control of the PoSaV infections in China.

Shen H, Zhang J, Gauger PC, Burrough ER, Zhang J, Harmon K, Wang L, Zheng Y, Petznick T, Li G. Genetic characterization of porcine sapoviruses identified from pigs during a diarrhoea outbreak in Iowa, 2019. Transbound Emerg Dis 2022; 69:1246-1255. [PMID: 33780163 DOI: 10.1111/tbed.14087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Porcine sapovirus (SaV) was first identified by electron microscopy in the United States in 1980 and has since been reported from both asymptomatic and diarrhoeic pigs usually in mixed infection with other enteric pathogens. SaV as the sole aetiological agent of diarrhoea in naturally infected pigs has not previously been reported in the United States. Here, we used four independent lines of evidence including metagenomics analysis, real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR), histopathology, and in situ hybridization to confirm porcine SaV genogroup III (GIII) as the sole cause of enteritis and diarrhoea in pigs. A highly sensitive and specific rRT-PCR was established to detect porcine SaV GIII. Examination of 184 faecal samples from an outbreak of diarrhoea on a pig farm showed that pigs with clinical diarrhoea had significantly lower Ct values (15.9 ± 0.59) compared to clinically unaffected pigs (35.8 ± 0.71). Further survey of 336 faecal samples from different states in the United States demonstrated that samples from pigs with clinical diarrhoea had a comparable positive rate (45.3%) with those from asymptomatic pigs (43.1%). However, the SaV-positive pigs with clinical diarrhoea had significantly higher viral loads (Ct = 26.0 ± 0.5) than the SAV-positive but clinically healthy pigs (Ct = 33.2 ± 0.9). Phylogenetic analysis of 20 field SaVs revealed that all belonged to SaV GIII and recombination analysis indicated that intragenogroup recombination had occurred within the field isolates of SaV GIII. These results suggest that porcine SaV GIII plays an important aetiologic role in swine enteritis and diarrhoea and rRT-PCR is a reliable method to detect porcine SaV. Our findings provide significant insights to better understand the epidemiology and pathogenicity of porcine SaV infection.

Potential zoonotic swine enteric viruses: The risk ignored for public health. Virus Res 2022; 315:198767. [PMID: 35421434 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2022.198767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Swine could serve as a natural reservoir for a large variety of viruses, including potential zoonotic enteric viruses. The presence of viruses with high genetic similarity between porcine and human strains may result in the emergence of zoonotic or xenozoonotic infections. Furthermore, the globalization and intensification of swine industries exacerbate the transmission and evolution of zoonotic viruses among swine herds and individuals working in swine-related occupations. To effectively prevent the public health risks posed by zoonotic swine enteric viruses, designing, and implementing a comprehensive measure for early diagnosis, prevention, and mitigation, requires interdisciplinary a collaborative ''One Health" approach from veterinarians, environmental and public health professionals, and the swine industry. In this paper, we reviewed the current knowledge of selected potential zoonotic swine enteric viruses and explored swine intensive production and its associated public health risks.

A Mini Review on Genomic Diversity, Infection Diagnostics, World Prevalence and Pathogenicity. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11040413. [PMID: 35456088 PMCID: PMC9030053 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11040413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Caliciviruses are single stranded RNA viruses, non-enveloped structurally, that are implicated in the non-bacterial gastroenteritis in various mammal species. Particularly in swine, viral gastroenteritis represents a major problem worldwide, responsible for significant economic losses for the pig industry. Among the wide range of viruses that are the proven or suspected etiological agents of gastroenteritis, the pathogenicity of the members of Caliciviridae family is among the less well understood. In this context, the present review presents and discusses the current knowledge of two genera belonging to this family, namely the Norovirus and the Sapovirus, in relation to swine. Aspects such as pathogenicity, clinical evidence, symptoms, epidemiology and worldwide prevalence, genomic diversity, identification tools as well as interchanging hosts are not only reviewed but also critically evaluated. Generally, although often asymptomatic in pigs, the prevalence of those microbes in pig farms exhibits a worldwide substantial increasing trend. It should be mentioned, however, that the factors influencing the symptomatology of these viruses are still far from well established. Interestingly, both these viruses are also characterized by high genetic diversity. These high levels of molecular diversity in Caliciviridae family are more likely a result of recombination rather than evolutionary or selective adaptation via mutational steps. Thus, molecular markers for their detection are mostly based on conserved regions such as the RdRp region. Finally, it should be emphasized that Norovirus and the Sapovirus may also infect other domestic, farm and wild animals, including humans, and therefore their surveillance and clarification role in diseases such as diarrhea is a matter of public health importance as well.

Exploring the Cause of Diarrhoea and Poor Growth in 8-11-Week-Old Pigs from an Australian Pig Herd Using Metagenomic Sequencing. Viruses 2021; 13:v13081608. [PMID: 34452472 PMCID: PMC8402840 DOI: 10.3390/v13081608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Diarrhoea and poor growth among growing pigs is responsible for significant economic losses in pig herds globally and can have a wide range of possible aetiologies. Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are useful for the detection and characterisation of diverse groups of viruses and bacteria and can thereby provide a better understanding of complex interactions among microorganisms potentially causing clinical disease. Here, we used a metagenomics approach to identify and characterise the possible pathogens in colon and lung samples from pigs with diarrhoea and poor growth in an Australian pig herd. We identified and characterized a wide diversity of porcine viruses including RNA viruses, in particular several picornaviruses—porcine sapelovirus (PSV), enterovirus G (EV-G), and porcine teschovirus (PTV), and a porcine astrovirus (PAstV). Single stranded DNA viruses were also detected and included parvoviruses like porcine bocavirus (PBoV) and porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV2), porcine parvovirus 7 (PPV7), porcine bufa virus (PBuV), and porcine adeno-associated virus (AAV). We also detected single stranded circular DNA viruses such as porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) at very low abundance and torque teno sus viruses (TTSuVk2a and TTSuVk2b). Some of the viruses detected here may have had an evolutionary past including recombination events, which may be of importance and potential involvement in clinical disease in the pigs. In addition, our metagenomics data found evidence of the presence of the bacteria Lawsonia intracellularis, Brachyspira spp., and Campylobacter spp. that may, together with these viruses, have contributed to the development of clinical disease and poor growth.

Abstract
Laboratory cultivation of viruses is critical for determining requirements for viral replication, developing detection methods, identifying drug targets, and developing antivirals. Several viruses have a history of recalcitrance towards robust replication in laboratory cell lines, including human noroviruses and hepatitis B and C viruses. These viruses have tropism for tissue components of the enterohepatic circulation system: the intestine and liver, respectively. The purpose of this review is to discuss how key enterohepatic signaling molecules, bile acids (BAs), and BA receptors are involved in the replication of these viruses and how manipulation of these factors was useful in the development and/or optimization of culture systems for these viruses. BAs have replication-promoting activities through several key mechanisms: (1) affecting cellular uptake, membrane lipid composition, and endocytic acidification; (2) directly interacting with viral capsids to influence binding to cells; and (3) modulating the innate immune response. Additionally, expression of the Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide BA receptor in continuous liver cell lines is critical for hepatitis B virus entry and robust replication in laboratory culture. Viruses are capable of hijacking normal cellular functions, and understanding the role of BAs and BA receptors, components of the enterohepatic system, is valuable for expanding our knowledge on the mechanisms of norovirus and hepatitis B and C virus replication.
