New Coronavirus Discovered in Ohio Pigs
2014-02-12 12:13:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: Ohio Department of Agriculture Not PEDV, but symptoms are similar. A new coronavirus has been identified in pig fecal samples from four Ohio swine farms, according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA). The farms from which the samples were taken experienced outbreaks of a diarrheal disease in sows and piglets in January and early February of 2014. The clinical signs of the disease were similar to that of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), which are both caused by coronaviruses. Electronmicropy of fecal samples from the four farms showed the presence of coronavirus-like viral particles. In one of the four farms, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for TGE viruses and PEDV viruses currently circulating in the U.S. were negative, but all 10 samples were positive for a new virus. PEDV and the new virus were both detected in fecal samples from the other three farms. read more
