The glycoprotein complex gII of pseudorabies virus was isolated by immunoprecipitation with the monoclonal antibody M5, which was covalently linked to protein A-Sepharose. After sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyarylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions and blotting onto poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane, its subunits, gIIa, gIIb, and gIIc, were subjected to N-terminal sequencing. gIIa and gIIb start at position 59 and gIIc starts at position 503 according to the amino acid sequence deduced from the gene, indicating that there is one major protein (gIIa) which is cleaved into the two protein fragments gIIb and gIIc. Protein labeling with 14C-amino acids gave no indication that the three proteins (gIIa, gIIb, and gIIc) of the complex are present in equimolar ratios. It seems that gIIa is only a minor component of the complex, whereas gIIb and gIIc are contained in equimolar amounts.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enteric coronavirus that has been the main cause of diarrhea in piglets since 2010 in China. The aim of this study was to investigate sequence variation and recombination events in the spike (S) gene of PEDV isolates from China. Thirty complete S gene sequences were obtained from PEDV-positive samples collected in six provinces in China from 2020 to 2023.

The human JC polyomavirus (JCV) is a widespread, neurotropic, opportunistic pathogen responsible for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) as well as other diseases in immunosuppressed individuals, including granule cell neuronopathy, JCV-associated nephropathy, encephalitis, and meningitis in rare cases. JCV classification is still unclear, where the ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) has grouped all the strains into human polyomavirus 2, with no classification on clade and subclade levels. Therefore, JCV strains were previously classified using different genomic regions, e.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), a highly transmissible intestinal pathogen, causes mild to severe clinical symptoms, such as anorexia, vomiting and watery diarrhea, in piglets and/or sows. Since the first report of PDCoV infection in Hong Kong in 2012, the virus has readily disseminated to North America and several countries in Asia. However, to date, no unified phylogenetic classification system has been developed.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), which re-emerged in China since 2010, has swept across the whole country leading to tremendous economic losses. In this study, a total of 645 diarrhea samples collected from 156 pig farms in Sichuan and Guizhou province during 2014-2018 were tested for PEDV. We found that samples from 47.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), which re-emerged in China in October 2010, has spread rapidly worldwide. Detailed analyses of the complete genomes of different PEDV strains are essential to understand the relationships among re-emerging and historic strains worldwide. Here, we analysed the complete genomes of 409 strains from different countries, which were classified into five subgroup strains (i.
