Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global swine industry is facing major new and old challenges caused by emerging and re-emerging viral infections. Virus-induced diarrhea is the foremost challenging factor restricting the healthy development of the swine industry. These swine enteric diarrhea viruses include porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and porcine rotavirus (PoRV), as well as emerging viruses such as swine acute diarrhea syndrome-coronavirus (SADS-CoV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine kobuvirus (PkoV) and porcine bocavirus (PboV), etc. Given the contribution of swine production to food security, new measures and basic knowledge are needed when attempting to control the spread of these swine enteric diarrhea.

For this purpose, in this Special Issue we invite porcine virologists worldwide to submit their the latest research findings in the form of original research papers or communications, or to propose reviews related to the epidemiology, development and evaluation of diagnostic assays; virus discovery; transmission pathways; virulence; clinical aspects and vaccines. These research findings will help to address the future challenges for the global swine industry.

Since porcine kobuvirus (PKV) was first described in 2008, researchers have speculated whether the virus is of clinical importance. This systematic literature review answers the question: Is porcine kobuvirus a cause of gastrointestinal disease in young pigs? A case-control study showed that PKV was not associated with neonatal diarrhea. A cohort study suffered from a very small sample size (n = 5), and in an experimental trial, the effect of PKV inoculation could not be separated from the effect of being inoculated with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. In 13 poorly defined observational studies, more than 4000 young pigs had been assigned a diarrhea status and their feces analyzed for PKV. Unfortunately, the studies lacked well-characterized unbiased samples, and thus the strongest possible inference from these studies was that a very strong association between PKV and diarrhea is unlikely. PKV was commonly detected in non-diarrheic pigs, and this could indicate that PKV is not a sufficient cause in itself or that reinfection of individuals with some immunological protection due to previous infections is common. Conclusively, there is a lack of good evidence of PKV being a cause of gastrointestinal disease, but the sparse available evidence suggests that PKV is of limited clinical importance. Full article
