Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a causative agent that can cause vesicular disease in swine, which causes a great threat to the swine husbandry in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vaccine that can effectively prevent the spread of SVA. In this study, we developed a 24-polymeric nano-scaffold using β-annulus peptide from tomato bushy effect virus (TBSV) by coupling this antigen to SVA B cell epitope VP121-26 and VP2 proteins via linkers, respectively. The SVA-based nanoparticle protein of the VP1(B)-β-VP2 was expressed and purified by low-cost prokaryotic system to prepare a SVA nanoparticle vaccine. The immunological protective effect of SVA nanoparticle vaccine was evaluated in mouse and swine models, respectively. The results suggested that both mice and swine could induce high levels SVA neutralizing antibodies and IgG antibodies after two doses immunization. In addition, the swine challenge protection experiment showed that the protection rate of immune SVA nanoparticle vaccine and SVA inactivated vaccine both were 80 %, while the negative control had no protection effect. It demonstrated that SVA nanoparticle vaccine effectively prevented SVA infection in swine. In summary, the preparation of SVA vaccine by using β-annulus peptide is a promising candidate vaccine for prevent SVA transmission, and provides a new idea for the development of novel SVA vaccines.

[PMID: 38877537 PMCID: PMC11179212 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-04116-6] [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: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Senecavirus A (SVA), identified in 2002, is known to cause porcine idiopathic vesicular disease (PIVD), which presents with symptoms resembling other vesicular diseases. This similarity complicates field diagnosis. Conventional molecular diagnostic techniques are limited by their cost, sensitivity, and requirement for complicated instrumentation. Therefore, developing an effective and accurate diagnostic method is crucial for timely identification and isolation of affected pigs, thereby preventing further disease spread. METHODS In this study, we developed a highly-specific and ultra-sensitive SVA detection method powered by CRISPR/Cas12a. To enhance the availability in laboratories with varied equipment conditions, microplate reader and ultraviolet light transilluminator were introduced. Moreover, PCR amplification has also been incorporated into this method to improve sensitivity. The specificity and sensitivity of this method were determined following the preparation of the recombinant Cas12a protein and optimization of the CRISPR/Cas12a-based trans-cleavage system. RESULTS The method demonstrated no cross-reactivity with ten kinds of viruses of swine. The minimum template concentration required to activate substantial trans-cleavage activity was determined to be 106 copies/µL of SVA templates. However, when PCR amplification was incorporated, the method achieved a detection limit of one copy of SVA templates per reaction. It also exhibited 100% accuracy in simulated sample testing. The complete testing process does not exceed three hours. CONCLUSIONS Importantly, this method utilizes standard laboratory equipment, making it accessible for use in resource-limited settings and facilitating widespread and ultra-sensitive screening during epidemics. Overall, the development of this method not only broadens the array of tools available for detecting SVA but also holds significant promise for controlling the spread of PIVD.

Abstract
Porcine idiopathic vesicular disease (PIVD), one of several clinically indistinguishable vesicular diseases of pigs, is caused by the emerging pathogen Senecavirus A (SVA). Despite the widespread prevalence of porcine SVA infection, no effective commercial vaccines for PIVD prevention and control are available, due to high costs associated with vaccine testing in pigs, considerable SVA diversity, and SVA rapid evolution. In this study, SVA CH/JL/2022 (OP562896), a novel mutant SVA strain derived from an isolate obtained from a pig farm in Jilin Province, China, was inactivated then combined with four adjuvants, MONTANIDETM GEL02 PR (GEL 02), MONTANIDETM ISA 201 VG (ISA 201), MONTANIDETM IMG 1313 VG N (IMS1313), or Rehydragel LV (LV). The resulting inactivated SVA CH/JL/2022 vaccines were assessed for efficacy in mice and found to induce robust in vivo lymphocyte proliferation responses and strong IgG1, IgG2a, and neutralizing antibody responses with IgG2a/IgG1 ratios of <1. Furthermore, all vaccinated groups exhibited significantly higher levels of serum cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, and IFN as compared to unvaccinated mice. These results indicate that all vaccines elicited both Th1 and Th2 responses, with Th2 responses predominating. Moreover, vaccinated mice exhibited enhanced resistance to SVA infection, as evidenced by reduced viral RNA levels and SVA infection-induced histopathological changes. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the SVA-GEL vaccine induced more robust immunological responses in mice than did the other three vaccines, thus highlighting the potential of SVA-GEL to serve an effective tool for preventing and controlling SVA infection.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging virus, causing vesicular disease in swine. SVA is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus, which is the only member of the genus Senecavirus in the family Picornaviridae. SVA genome encodes 12 proteins: L, VP4, VP2, VP3, VP1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D. The VP1 to VP4 are structural proteins, and the others are nonstructural proteins. The replication of SVA in host cells is a complex process coordinated by an elaborate interplay between the structural and nonstructural proteins. Structural proteins are primarily involved in the invasion and assembly of virions. Nonstructural proteins modulate viral RNA translation and replication, and also take part in antagonizing the antiviral host response and in disrupting some cellular processes to allow virus replication. Here, we systematically reviewed the molecular functions of SVA structural and nonstructural proteins by reference to literatures of SVA itself and other picornaviruses.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging viral pathogen related to vesicular disease and neonatal mortality in swine, which results in enormous economic losses to the global swine industry. The clinical signs of SVA are indistinguishable from those of other vesicular diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease, which is an economically devastating animal disease. Therefore, development of a rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic method for the detection of SVA infection is critical for the prevention and control of SVA and would help to rule out other exotic diseases. In this study, two whole-porcine anti-SVA antibodies (1M5 and 1M25) were produced using single B cell antibody technology. 1M5 and 1M25 possessed neutralizing activity against SVA but recognized different conformational epitopes that depended on the intact virion. Using 1M5 as the capture antibody and biotinylated 1M25 as the detection antibody, a reliable and rapid competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting neutralizing antibodies (NAC-ELISA) against SVA was developed. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 98.11% and 100%, respectively, with a cutoff percent inhibition value of 45%. The NAC-ELISA was specific for detecting SVA-specific antibodies, without cross-reactivity to other virus-infected sera. The results of the NAC-ELISA showed a strong agreement with the results of the virus neutralization test. Therefore, the NAC-ELISA developed in this study represents a sensitive, specific, and reliable tool for the detection of SVA-specific antibodies, which is applicable for serodiagnosis and serological surveillance of SVA and is conducive to the prevention and control of SVA. IMPORTANCE Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging picornavirus related to vesicular disease and neonatal mortality in swine, which results in enormous economic losses worldwide. Additionally, the clinical characteristics of the disease are indistinguishable from those of other vesicular diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease. Therefore, developing tools for rapidly and accurately detecting SVA infection is critical and urgent. In this study, two porcine-derived monoclonal antibodies against SVA were generated, and a competitive ELISA for the detection of neutralizing antibodies (NAC-ELISA) against SVA was successfully developed using these two porcine monoclonal antibodies. The NAC-ELISA was SVA specific with no cross-reactivity to other related pathogens and had high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility for detecting SVA-specific antibody. Therefore, the NAC-ELISA developed in this study may be of great value as a simple and reliable tool for serodiagnosis or surveillance of SVA and may facilitate the prevention and control of SVA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Senecavirus A (SVA) is a pathogen that has recently caused porcine idiopathic vesicular disease (PIVD). The clinical signs are similar to those of foot-and-mouth disease, porcine vesicular disease, and vesicular stomatitis. Therefore, identification of SVA as a cause of PIVD is important to eliminate this emerging pathogen. METHODS In this study, an indirect ELISA based on the VP2 epitope (VP2-epitp-ELISA) was developed to detect antibodies directed against SVA. RESULTS A novel linear epitope (271GLRNRFTTGTDEEQ284) was first identified at the C-terminus of the VP2 protein by epitope mapping. The diagnostic performance of VP2-epitp-ELISA was estimated by testing a panel of known background sera from swine. Under the optimum test conditions, when the cutoff value was 37%, the diagnostic sensitivity (Dn) and diagnostic specificity (Dp) of the assay were 91.13% and 91.17%, respectively. The accuracy of VP2-epitp-ELISA was validated and further compared with that of commercial diagnostic kits. The diagnostic results showed that VP2-epitp-ELISA did not cross-react with serum positive for other idiopathic vesicular diseases and had a concordance rate of 90.41% with the Swinecheck® SVA bELISA. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that VP2-epitp-ELISA is suitable for specific detection of antibodies against SVA in swine.

Abstract
Simple Summary Worldwide demand for food is expected to increase due to population growth and swine accounts for more than one-third of meat produced worldwide. Several factors affect the success of livestock production systems, including animal disease control. Despite the importance of infectious diseases to animal health and the productivity of the global swine industry, pathogens of swine, in particular emerging viruses, such as Senecavirus A, Torque teno sus virus, and Linda virus, have gained limited interest. We performed a systematic analysis of the literature, with a focus on the main macroscopical and histological findings related to those viruses to fill the gap and highpoint these potentially hazardous pathogens. Abstract Swine production represents a significant component in agricultural economies as it occupies over 30% of global meat demand. Infectious diseases could constrain the swine health and productivity of the global swine industry. In particular, emerging swine viral diseases are omnipresent in swine populations, but the limited knowledge of the pathogenesis and the scarce information related to associated lesions restrict the development of data-based control strategies aimed to reduce the potentially great impact on the swine industry. In this paper, we reviewed and summarized the main pathological findings related to emerging viruses, such as Senecavirus A, Torque teno sus virus, and Linda virus, suggesting a call for further multidisciplinary studies aimed to fill this lack of knowledge and better clarify the potential role of those viral diseases in swine pathology.

Abstract
Seneca Valley virus (SVV), also known as Senecavirus A (SVA), is a non-enveloped and single-strand positive-sense RNA virus, which belongs to the genus of Senecavirus within the family Picornaviridae. Porcine idiopathic vesicular disease (PIVD) caused by SVV has frequently been prevalent in America and Southeast Asia (especially in China) since the end of 2014, and has caused continuing issues. In this study, an SVV strain isolated in China, named SVV LNSY01-2017 (MH064435), was used as the stock virus for the preparation of an SVV-inactivated vaccine. The SVV culture was directly inactivated using binary ethyleneimine (BEI) and β-propiolactone (BPL). BPL showed a better effect as an SVV inactivator, according to the results of pH variation, inactivation kinetics, and the detection of VP1 content during inactivation. Then, SVV inactivated by BPL was subsequently emulsified using different adjuvants, including MONTANIDETM ISA 201 VG (ISA 201) and MONTANIDETM IMG 1313 VG N (IMS 1313). The immunoreactivity and protection efficacy of the inactivated vaccines were then evaluated in finishing pigs. SVV-BPL-1313 showed a better humoral response post-immunization and further challenge tests post-immunization showed that both the SVV-BPL-201 and SVV-BPL-1313 combinations could resist challenge from a virulent SVV strain. The SVV LNSY01-2017-inactivated vaccine candidate developed here represents a promising alternative to prevent and control SVV infection in swine.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Seneca Valley virus (SVV) is a picornavirus that causes vesicular disease in swine. Clinical characteristics of the disease are similar to common viral diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease virus, porcine vesicular disease virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus, which can cause vesicles in the nose or hoof of pigs. Therefore, developing tools for detecting SVV infection is critical and urgent.
Methods
The neutralizing antibodies were produced to detect the neutralizing epitope.
Results
Five SVV neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAb), named 2C8, 3E4, 4C3, 6D7, and 7C11, were generated by immunizing mouses with ultra-purified SVV-LNSY01-2017. All five monoclonal antibodies exhibited high neutralizing titers to SVV. The epitopes targeted by these mAbs were further identified by peptide scanning using GST fusion peptides. The peptide 153QELNEE158 is defined as the smallest linear neutralizing epitope. The antibodies showed no reactivity to VP2 single mutants E157A. Furthermore, the antibodies showed no neutralizing activity with the recombinant virus (SVV-E157A).
Conclusions
The five monoclonal antibodies and identified epitopes may contribute to further research on the structure and function of VP2 and the development of diagnostic methods for detecting different SVV strains. Additionally, the epitope recognized by monoclonal antibodies against VP2 protein may provide insights for novel SVV vaccines and oncolytic viruses development.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA), a newly emergent picornavirus correlated with sudden neonatal mortality and vesicular lesions in pigs, has had a considerable impact on the global pig farming industry. Timely and dependable detection of SVA is helpful in preventing the further spread of this pathogenic virus. In the current study, a real-time fluorescent reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (rRT-RAA) assay, which targets the most conserved region within the VP2 gene of SVA, was developed and evaluated for SVA detection. The detection limit for this assay was tested to be 1.185 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50 ) of SVA RNA per reaction at a 95% confidence interval, which is comparable to that of a previously published rRT-PCR assay for SVA. The testing results of the rRT-RAA assay were very reproducible and repeatable, with inter- and intra-assay coefficient of variation values less than 7.0%. In addition, the established rRT-RAA assay displayed excellent specificity for SVA detection without cross-reaction with other clinically important swine pathogenic viruses. The diagnostic performance of rRT-RAA was evaluated using 189 clinical swine samples, which were detected in parallel using the reference rRT-PCR assay. The results showed that 146 and 151 samples tested positive for SVA by rRT-RAA and rRT-PCR, respectively. The overall agreement between both assays was 97.4% (184/189) with a kappa value of 0.927 (p < .001). Further linear regression analysis demonstrated that the detection results between the two assays were significantly correlated (R2 = 0.9192, p < .0001). Taken together, our newly established rRT-RAA assay is a powerful and time-saving diagnostic tool for SVA detection in clinical samples. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Evaluation of Antibody Response in Sows after Vaccination with Senecavirus A Vaccine and the Effect of Maternal Antibody Transfer on Antibody Dynamics in Offspring. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9101066. [PMID: 34696174 PMCID: PMC8538203 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines9101066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a newly porcine virus that has been detected in many countries since its first detection in pigs in Canada in 2007, and it remains endemic in many countries in Asia and America, which has become a substantial problem for the pig industry. Vaccination is a potentially effective strategy for the prevention and control of SVA infection. Our lab has developed a SVA vaccine candidate previously. In this study, the antibody response to the prepared vaccine in sows and their offspring was evaluated. Vaccination of sows with inactivated SVA vaccines during pregnancy elicited SVA-specific virus-neutralizing antibodies. Vaccination with a high dose of SVA vaccine followed a booster immunization contributed to a long-term duration of the persistence of maternally derived neutralizing antibodies (MDAs) in the milk of the sows (>14 days). In contrast, vaccination with a single low dose of SVA vaccine resulted in a short-term persistence of MDAs in the milk (2–7 days). The MDAs could be efficiently transferred from the sows to their offspring through the colostrum/milk but not the umbilical cord blood. The antibody titers and the duration of the persistence of MDAs in the offspring are highly associated with the antibody levels in the milk from the sows. Vaccination of sows with a booster dose of SVA vaccine resulted in a longer-lasting MDAs in their offspring (persisted for at least 90 days). However, vaccination with the single low dose of vaccine only brought about 42 days of MDAs persistence in their offspring. The effect of MDAs on active immunization with SVA vaccine in offspring was further evaluated, which showed that vaccination of the SVA vaccine in the presence of MDAs at the titer of ≈1:64 or less could overcome the MDAs’ interference and give rise to effective antibody response. This will help for establishing the optimal times and schedules for SVA vaccination in pigs.

Abstract
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are high-priority antigens with highly ordered repetitive structures, which are similar to natural viral particles. We have developed a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) for detecting antibodies directed against Senecavirus A (SVA). Our assay utilizes SVA VLPs that were expressed and assembled in an E. coli expression system as the coating antigens. VLPs have better safety and immunogenicity than intact viral particles or peptides. The VLPs-based cELISA was used to test 342 serum samples collected from different pig farms, and the results showed that its specificity and sensitivity were 100% and 94%, respectively. The consistency rates of cELISA with the BIOSTONE AsurDx™ Senecavirus A (SVA) Antibody Test Kit and an indirect immunofluorescent assay were 90.0% and 94.2%, respectively. Therefore, this VLPs-based cELISA can be effectively and reliably used for the detection and discrimination of SVA infection in serum samples.

Abstract
Emerging viral infectious diseases present a major threat to the global swine industry. Since 2015, Senecavirus A (SVA) has been identified as a cause of vesicular disease in different countries and is considered an emerging disease. Despite the growing concern about SVA, there is a lack of preventive and diagnostic strategies, which is also a problem for all emerging infectious diseases. Using SVA as a model, we demonstrated that Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing could be used as a robust tool for the investigation and surveillance of emerging viral diseases. Our results identified that MinION sequencing allowed for rapid, unbiased pathogen detection at the species and strain level for clinical cases. SVA whole genome sequences were generated using both direct RNA sequencing and PCR-cDNA sequencing methods, with an optimized consensus accuracy of 94% and 99%, respectively. The advantages of direct RNA sequencing lie in its shorter turnaround time, higher analytical sensitivity and its quantitative relationship between input RNA and output sequencing reads, while PCR-cDNA sequencing excelled at creating highly accurate sequences. This study developed whole genome sequencing methods to facilitate the control of SVA and provide a reference for the timely detection and prevention of other emerging infectious diseases.

Abstract
Porcine vesicular disease caused by Senecavirus A (SVA) is a newly emerging disease in many countries. Based on clinical signs only, it is very challenging to distinguish SVA infection from other similar diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, swine vesicular disease, and vesicular stomatitis. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a detection assay for the clinical diagnosis of SVA infection. In this study, a pair of specific primers were designed based on the highly conserved L/VP4 gene sequence of SVA. The established SYBR green I-based quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method was used to detect SVA nucleic acids in clinical samples. The limit of detection SVA nucleic acids by qRT-PCR was 6.4 × 101 copies/μL, which was significantly more sensitive than that by gel electrophoresis of 6.4 × 103 copes/μL. This assay was specific and had no cross-reaction with other seven swine viruses. Using SYBR green I-based qRT-PCR, the SVA positive rates in experimental animal samples and field samples were 67.60% (96/142) and 80% (24/30) respectively. The results demonstrate that SYBR green I-based qRT-PCR is a rapid and specific method for the clinical diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of related vesicular diseases caused by SVA.

Abstract
MicroRNAs play vital roles in regulating the battle between pathogens and host cells during viral challenging. MiR-4331 aggravates transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) -induced mitochondrial damage, also suppresses transcription of TGEV gene 7 via targeting cellular CDCA7. Otherwise, miR-4331-5p affects H1N1/2009 influenza A virus replication by targeting viral HA and NS. However, whether microRNA ssc-miR-4331-5p (miR-4331-5p) regulates foot and mouth virus (FMDV) replication remains unclear. To explore the role of miR-4331-5p in FMDV infection, we detected the expression level of miR-4331-5p in porcine kidney (PK-15) cells. The results showed that FMDV infection directly upregulates miR-4331-5p expression, while transfection of mimics or inhibitor of miR-4331-5p promotes or inhibits FMDV replication. Further investigation clearly showed that miR-4331-5p increases FMDV replication through inhibiting type I interferon pathways. These data demonstrate that miR-4331-5p plays an important role in regulating FMDV replication.

Identification of linear B cell epitopes on VP1 and VP2 proteins of Senecavirus A (SVA) using monoclonal antibodies. Vet Microbiol 2020; 247:108753. [PMID: 32768207 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2020.108753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA), previously called Seneca Valley virus, belongs to the family Picornaviridae, species Senecavirus A, in the Senecavirus genus, and can cause vesicular lesions in sows and acute death in piglets. In this study, recombinant VP1 and VP2 proteins were expressed in prokaryotic expression system and used to generate eight monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against VP1 or VP2 protein. And all of the mAbs reacted specifically with SVA virus by both Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). The resurts showed that all of the epitopes aganist these mAbs were B cell linear epitopes. To map the epitopes, both Western blot and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (indirect ELISA) were performed. The epitope 21GELAAP26 recognized by mAb 1G9, was likely to be a significant B cell epitope due to the high antigenic index and the fully exposure on the surface of the VP1. Other mAbs were recognized by VP2 protein. MAbs 1E7 and 8E8 recognized the same epitope at 12DRVITQT18, 1A5 recognized the epitope at 71WTKAVK76, 1G2 recognized the epitope at 98GGAFTA103, 9D2 and 6B11 recognized the same epitope at 150KSLQELN156, and 7E4 recognized the epitope at 248YKEGAT253. Alignment of amino acids revealed that four epitopes were completely conserved among all SVA strains, including 21GELAAP26, 71WTKAVK76, 98GGAFTA103, and 248YKEGAT253. Interestingly, there were some amino acid mutations in 12DRVITQT18 and 150KSLQELN156, but no significant difference was detected on the reaction intensity between epitopes and the corresponding mAbs. This is the first report about the SVA epitopes, which will benefit to the study of viral pathogenic mechanism, vaccine design, as well as the establishment of detection methods.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA), formerly known as Seneca Valley virus, is a single-strand, positive-sense RNA virus in the family Picornaviridae. This virus has been associated with recent outbreaks of vesicular disease (SVA-VD) and epidemic transient neonatal losses (ETNL) in several swine-producing countries. The clinical manifestation of and lesion caused by SVA are indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases. Pathogenicity studies indicate that SVA could regulate the host innate immune response to facilitate virus replication and the spread of the virus to bystander cells. SVA infection can induce specific humoral and cellular responses that can be detected within the first week of infection. However, SVA seems to produce persistent infection, and the virus can be shed in oral fluids for a month and detected in tissues for approximately two months after experimental infection. SVA transmission could be horizontal or vertical in infected herds of swine, while positive animals can also remain subclinical. In addition, mice seem to act as reservoirs, and the virus can persist in feed and feed ingredients, increasing the risk of introduction into naïve farms. Besides the pathological effects in swine, SVA possesses cytolytic activity, especially in neoplastic cells. Thus, SVA has been evaluated in phase II clinical trials as a virotherapy for neuroendocrine tumors. The goal of this review is summarize the current SVA-related research in pathogenesis, immunity, epidemiology and advances in diagnosis as well as discuses current challenges with subclinical/persistent presentation.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important pathogen of swine health and well-being worldwide largely due to an insufficient understanding of the adaptive immune response to infection leading to ineffective PRRSV control. The memory and anamnestic response to infection are critical gaps in knowledge in PRRSV immunity. The lack of effective tools for the evaluation of the memory response previously hindered the ability to effectively characterize the porcine memory response to infection. However, the creation and validation of a PRRSV nsp7-specific B cell tetramer now facilitates the ability to detect very rare memory B cells and thus define the memory response of the pig. Here, we describe the PRRSV nsp7-specific B cell response following vaccination and challenge in six key secondary lymphoid organs including the identification of PBMCs as the tissue of interest for the memory immune response in pigs. Following live virus challenge of immune animals, an anamnestic response of nsp7-specific memory B cells and neutralizing antibodies was observed. This characterization of the functional humoral immune response to PRRSV answers key questions involved in regional specialization of the immune response following intramuscular inoculation of PRRSV MLV.

Basal Level p53 Suppresses Antiviral Immunity against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus. Viruses 2019; 11:v11080727.

Abstract
Tumor suppressor protein p53 (p53) is a master transcription factor that plays key roles in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, and metabolism, as well as regulation of innate immunity during virus infection. In order to facilitate their replication and spreading, viruses have evolved to manipulate p53 function through different strategies, with some requiring active p53 while others demand reduction/inhibition of p53 activity. However, there are no clear-cut reports about the roles of p53 during the infection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), the causative agent of a highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) of cloven-hoofed animals. Here we showed that p53 level was dynamically regulated during FMDV infection, being degraded at the early infection stage but recovered to the basal level at the late stage. Cells depleted of p53 showed inhibited FMDV replication and enhanced expression of the immune-related genes, whereas overexpression of p53 didn’t affect the viral replication. Viral challenge assay with p53 knockout mice obtained similar results, with viral load decreased, histopathological changes alleviated, and lifespan extended in the p53 knockout mice. Together, these data demonstrate that basal level p53 is required for efficient FMDV replication by suppressing the innate immunity.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a single-stranded RNA virus in the family Picornaviridae. Recently, SVA has been associated with idiopathic vesicular disease and increased neonate mortality outbreaks in the United States, Brazil, China, Colombia, and Thailand, with increasing incidence since 2014. Indirect detection by antibody detection methods, including indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), virus neutralization assay, and competitive or indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), have been reported in clinical and experimental trials. The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of SVA in nonclinical affected herds in the United States. Individual samples were collected from 3654 and 2433 clinically healthy grower-finisher pigs and sows, respectively, from 219 unique commercial swine production sites. SVA seroprevalence was evaluated by SVA rVP1 ELISA and SVA IFA. The estimated seroprevalence for grower-finisher pigs and sows was 12.2% and 34.0%, respectively. The herd prevalence was 42.7% for grower-finisher farms and 75.8% for sow farms. The SVA rVP1 ELISA and SVA IFA exhibited a fair (sows) and moderate (grower-finisher) agreement at the herd level, while a fair agreement was observed at the individual level for both pig categories evaluated. The McNemar's test was significant at the individual and herd level (p < 0.05). In this study, we demonstrated the presence of SVA IgG antibodies in pigs from clinically healthy grower-finisher and sow herds. These results suggest that SVA is circulating subclinically in sow farms and grower-finisher pig farms in major swine producing-states in the United States.

Abstract
In pigs, Senecavirus A (SVA) causes a vesicular disease that is clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis and swine vesicular disease. Sensitive and specific detection of SVA is critical for controlling this emerging disease. In this study, a novel reverse transcription droplet digital PCR (RT-ddPCR) assay, targeting the conserved viral polymerase 3D gene, was established for the detection of SVA. This assay exhibited good linearity, repeatability and reproducibility, and maintained linearity at extremely low concentrations of SVA nucleic acid templates. The detection limit of RT-ddPCR was 1.53 ± 0.22 copies of SVA RNA per reaction (n = 8), and the assay showed approximately 10-fold greater sensitivity than a reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-rPCR) assay. Moreover, specificity analysis showed that the RT-ddPCR for SVA had no cross-reactivity with other important swine pathogens. In clinical diagnosis of 134 pig serum and tissue samples, 26 and 21 samples were identified as positive by RT-ddPCR and RT-rPCR, respectively. The overall agreement between the two assays was 96.27% (129/134). Further linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the RT-ddPCR and RT-rPCR assays with an R2 value of 0.9761. Our results indicate that the RT-ddPCR assay is a robust diagnostic tool for the sensitive detection of SVA, even in samples with a low viral load.

Abstract
Seneca Valley virus (SVV) has recently caused many vesicular diseases in pigs in different regions and countries. As a newly causative agent of porcine vesicular disease, SVV has evolved and spread quickly. It causes clinical signs similar to those of foot-and-mouth disease and results in significant economic losses. An increasing number of SVV outbreaks were reported in 2016 and 2017 in Brazil, United States, and China. However, few diagnostic methods have been established and no commercial vaccine has been available until now. Therefore, more attention needs to be paid to SVV, and urgent surveillance should be performed to prevent the spread of this virus. Although recent research has shed some light on SVV, there are still many aspects of the virus and the disease that are not yet fully understood, and many questions need to be resolved. This review presents current knowledge concerning SVV infection, epidemiology, pathogenicity, immune response, and diagnostic methods. This information will aid the design and adoption of effective prevention and control strategies to counter this viral pathogen.

Abstract
Vaccine control and prevention of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), the most important disease of swine, is difficult to achieve. However, the discovery of broadly neutralizing antibody activity against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) under typical field conditions opens the door to new immunologic approaches for robust protection. We show here that passive administration of purified immunoglobulins with neutralizing antibodies reduced PRRSV2 infection by up to 96%, and PRRSV1 infection by up to 87%, whereas immune immunoglobulins lacking neutralizing activity had no effect on viral infection. Hence, immune competence of passive immunoglobulin transfer was associated specifically with antibody neutralizing activity. Current models of PRRSV infection implicate a minor envelope glycoprotein (GP) complex including GP2, GP3, and GP4, as critical to permissive cell infection. However, conserved peptides comprising the putative cell attachment structure did not attenuate neutralization or viral infection. The results show that immunological approaches aimed at induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies may substantially enhance immune protection against PRRSV. The findings further show that naturally occurring viral isolates are able to induce protective humoral immunity against unrelated PRRSV challenge, thus removing a major conceptual barrier to vaccine development.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Senecavirus genus within the Picornaviridae family. The virus has been silently circulating in pig herds of the USA since 1988. However, cases of senecavirus-associated vesicular disease were reported in Canada in 2007 and in the USA in 2012. Since late 2014 and early 2015, an increasing number of senecavirus outbreaks have been reported in pigs in different producing categories, with this virus being detected in Brazil, China, and Thailand. Considering the novel available data on senecavirus infection and disease, 2015 may be a divisor in the epidemiology of the virus. Among the aspects that reinforce this hypothesis are the geographical distribution of the virus, the affected pig-producing categories, clinical signs associated with the infection, and disease severity. This review presents the current knowledge regarding the senecavirus infection and disease, especially in the last two years. Senecavirus epidemiology, pathogenic potential, host immunological response, diagnosis, and prophylaxis and control measures are addressed. Perspectives are focused on the need for complete evolutionary, epidemiological and pathogenic data and the capability for an immediate diagnosis of senecavirus infection. The health risks inherent in the swine industry cannot be neglected.
