Article Synopsis
- Pseudorabies (PR) is an infectious disease caused by the pseudorabies virus (PRV), and this study focused on detecting and analyzing the recent outbreaks of genotype II PRV.
- Researchers isolated brain tissues suspected of PRV infection, sequenced the virulence-related genes, and conducted pathogenicity evaluations using mice and piglets.
- The isolated strain, named PRV TJbd2023, showed high pathogenicity, causing severe symptoms and a 66.7% mortality rate in suckling piglets, indicating it may be linked to recent outbreaks and vaccine failures in Tianjin, China.
