Porcine kobuvirus is a new candidate species of the genus Kobuvirus in the family Picornaviridae, and information is still limited. The identification of porcine kobuvirus has been performed by the sequence analyses of the 3D region of the viruses. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize the molecular properties of VP1 nucleotide sequences of the porcine kobuviruses isolated from porcine stool samples in Japan during 2009 and Thailand between 2006 and 2008. In addition, previous identification of a unique porcine kobuvirus; Japanese H023/2009/JP, which is a bovine kobuvirus-like strain based on sequence analysis of the 3D region, was also included in this study. All of the strains were amplified by the VP1-specific primer pair: the amplicons were subjected to direct sequencing and compared with the VP1 nucleotide sequences of reference strains. The VP1 sequences of strains from the GenBank database revealed high nucleotide sequence identity at 84.3-100%. On the other hand, the nucleotide identities among the 15 porcine kobuvirus strains analyzed in this study ranged from 78.8 to 99.8%. The results revealed that diversity of the strains in this study were higher than those of the strains in previous studies. Furthermore, it was found that the VP1 region of the bovine kobuvirus-like strain, H023/2009/JP, clustered with nine porcine kobuvirus strains that were isolated in Thailand and Japan. Since this strain was previously found to be closely related to bovine kobuviruses in the 3D gene region, it may be a natural recombinant.

Background: Rotaviruses are the major etiological agents of gastroenteritis and diarrheal outbreaks in plenty of mammalian species. The genus Rotavirus is highly diverse and currently comprises nine genetically distinct species, and four of them (A, B, C, and H) are common for humans and pigs. There is a strong necessity to comprehend phylogenetic relationships among rotaviruses from different host species to assess interspecies transmission, specifically between humans and livestock.

The pathogens responsible for porcine viral diarrhea are diverse, causing significant economic losses to the pig industry. PEDV and TGEV are well-known pathogens causing diarrheal diseases in pigs, leading to significant economic losses in the breeding industry. In contrast, the newly identified diarrhea virus, PKV, has not garnered as much attention.

Recent epidemiological studies have discovered that a lot of cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection are frequently accompanied by porcine kobuvirus (PKV) infection, suggesting a potential relationship between the two viruses in the development of diarrhea. To investigate the impact of PKV on PEDV pathogenicity and the number of intestinal lymphocytes, piglets were infected with PKV or PEDV or co-infected with both viruses. Our findings demonstrate that co-infected piglets exhibit more severe symptoms, acute gastroenteritis, and higher PEDV replication compared to those infected with PEDV alone.

The effective removal of viruses from swine wastewater using anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is vital to ecological safety. However, most studies have focused only on disinfectants, whereas the capabilities of the treatment process have not been investigated. In this study, the performance and mechanism of an AnMBR in the removal of porcine hepatitis E virus (HEV), porcine kobuvirus (PKoV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) are systematically investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) is a new virus linked to congenital tremor in piglets, with little prior research on its role in sow abortion or its presence alongside other viruses in northern China.
- Researchers collected samples from aborted sows in Shandong Province and used viral metagenomics to analyze the viral presence and genome characteristics of APPV.
- The study identified APPV coexisting with multiple other viruses during abortions and sequenced the first complete genome of APPV from this region, classifying it into Clade II with specific genetic similarities to known strains.
