The prevalence of porcine sapovirus infection in weanling pigs was investigated in Hunan Province, China, between August 2006 and October 2007. A total of 153 diarrheic fecal samples from ten intensive pig farms from ten representative administrative regions in Hunan province were examined for porcine sapoviruses using RT-PCR. Twenty-two of 153 (14.37 %) samples were found to contain porcine sapoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all the porcine sapovirus isolates in Hunan Province belonged to the porcine sapovirus genogroup III. The results of the present investigation have implications for the control of porcine sapovirus infection in pigs in Hunan Province, China.

Porcine astrovirus (PoAstV), porcine sapovirus (PoSaV), porcine norovirus (PoNoV), and porcine rotavirus A (PoRVA) are newly discovered important porcine diarrhea viruses with a wide range of hosts and zoonotic potential, and their co-infections are often found in pig herds. In this study, the specific primers and probes were designed targeting the ORF1 gene of PoAstV, PoSaV, and PoNoV, and the VP6 gene of PoRVA. The recombinant standard plasmids were constructed, the reaction conditions (concentration of primers and probes, annealing temperature, and reaction cycle) were optimized, and the specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility were analyzed to establish a quadruplex real-time quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) assay for the detection of these four diarrheal viruses.

Article Synopsis
- A new genotype of genogroup X (GX) sapovirus was found in the intestines of a golden jackal in Hungary using advanced sequencing techniques.
- The complete genome of this sapovirus strain is 7,128 nucleotides long and showed high amino acid sequence similarity to counterparts found in domestic pigs, but notable differences in nucleic acid sequence.
- Additional testing on other jackals and pigs did not reveal more GX strains, but a different strain, GXI, was detected in a wild boar's feces, suggesting the presence of underdiagnosed sapovirus groups in European wildlife.

Article Synopsis
- * Metagenomic sequencing revealed that RNA viruses dominate the viral composition in diarrhea samples, with PoSaV and porcine astrovirus as the primary contributors.
- * The study identified a new PoSaV strain, SHCM/Mega2023, which shows significant genetic variation and evolutionary insights, providing useful information for vaccine development and understanding the virus's antigenicity.

Human sapoviruses (HuSaVs) and noroviruses are considered the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. While extensive research has focused on noroviruses, our understanding of sapoviruses (SaVs) and their interactions with the host's immune response remains limited. HuSaVs have been challenging to propagate in vitro, making the porcine sapovirus (PSaV) Cowden strain a valuable model for studying SaV pathogenesis.

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.
