Our investigation was conducted in order to verify a recent severe epidemic at several swine farms in northern China that indicated a newly emerging disease. Evidence confirmed that the epidemic was caused by a virulent Pseudorabies virus infection in swine herds.

Live herpesvirus-vectored vaccines are critical in veterinary medicine, but they can sometimes offer insufficient protection due to suboptimal antigen expression or localization. Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a significant zoonotic threat, with VP1 protein as a key immunogen on its capsid. To enhance immunogenicity, we explored the use of recombinant pseudorabies virus (rPRV) as a vaccine vector against EMCV.

Article Synopsis
- ZBP1 (Z-DNA binding protein 1) is an immune sensor that activates the NLRP3 inflammasome during viral infections, but this function is inhibited by the herpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV) through its VP22 protein.
- The study reveals that VP22 acts as a virulence factor for PRV, preventing ZBP1 from triggering NLRP3 activation, which would normally help combat the infection.
- When ZBP1 is deficient, a recombinant PRV lacking VP22 replicates more effectively, indicating that VP22's interference with ZBP1’s function is crucial for PRV's pathogenicity.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection causes severe diarrhea and high mortality in neonatal piglets. Pseudorabies causes acute and often fatal infections in young piglets, respiratory disorders in growing pigs, and reproductive failure in sows. In late 2011, pseudorabies virus (PRV) variants occurred in Bartha-K61-vaccine-immunized swine herds, resulting in economic losses to the global pig industry.

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.
The alphaherpesvirus gE/gI glycoprotein complex and proteases jointly orchestrate invasion across the host's upper respiratory epithelial barrier.

Article Synopsis
- Alphaherpesviruses like HSV-1, pseudorabies virus (PRV), and bovine herpesvirus (BoHV-1) are important pathogens that invade the respiratory tract, but the specifics of how they penetrate mucosal barriers are still unclear.
- This study focuses on the gE/gI glycoprotein complex and proteases, finding that removing calcium from the environment enhances viral infection by breaking down epithelial junctions and suggesting a shared method for how these viruses target their receptors.
- Results showed that PRV replicates faster and invades deeper than HSV-1 and BoHV-1, with the gE glycoprotein being crucial for viral entry, while specific proteases contribute differently to invasion among
