AI Article Synopsis

  • Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) poses significant risks to pig farming, causing high mortality rates among piglets.
  • The virus is evolving rapidly, with some strains able to infect different species, complicating detection and prevention efforts.
  • The paper reviews TGEV's biological properties, factors influencing its virulence, advancements in understanding its effects on cell processes, and raises concerns about its potential zoonotic risks.

Article Abstract

Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a member of the alphacoronavirus genus, which has caused huge threats and losses to pig husbandry with a 100% mortality in infected piglets. TGEV is observed to be recombining and evolving unstoppably in recent years, with some of these recombinant strains spreading across species, which makes the detection and prevention of TGEV more complex. This paper reviews and discusses the basic biological properties of TGEV, factors affecting virulence, viral receptors, and the latest research advances in TGEV infection-induced apoptosis and autophagy to improve understanding of the current status of TGEV and related research processes. We also highlight a possible risk of TGEV being zoonotic, which could be evidenced by the detection of CCoV-HuPn-2018 in humans.

Human noroviruses are the leading cause of non-bacterial shellfish-associated gastroenteritis. In 2022, a multi-jurisdictional norovirus outbreak associated with contaminated oysters occurred that involved hundreds of illnesses. Here, we conducted genetic analysis on 30 clinical samples associated with this oyster outbreak.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Ypt) is a gram-negative bacterium that infects both humans and animals primarily through fecal‒oral transmission. While Ypt causes acute gastroenteritis in humans, an association with Kawasaki disease (KD), a disease that primarily affects infants and young children and causes multisystemic vasculitis, has also been suspected. Although KD represents a significant health concern worldwide, the highest annual incidence rate is reported in Japan.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV), the two causative agents of porcine diarrhea, have been reported to be at risk of cross-species transmission, including to humans. However, the potential host range in which these two CoVs interact remains unclear. We screened 16 animal counterparts for porcine aminopeptidase N (APN), the receptor of PDCoV and TGEV, and found that APNs from eight of 17 animals could bind to the receptor-binding domains (RBDs) of PDCoV and TGEV.

Caliciviruses are a diverse group of non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses with a wide range of hosts and transmission routes. Norovirus is the most well-known member of the ; the acute gastroenteritis caused by human norovirus (HuNoV), for example, frequently results in closures of hospital wards and schools during the winter months. One area of calicivirus biology that has gained increasing attention over the past decade is the conformational flexibility exhibited by the protruding (P) domains of the major capsid protein VP1.

Regulation (EU) 2016/429 introduces comprehensive guidelines for managing transmissible animal diseases, including zoonoses. The subsequent Commission Implementing Regulation 2018/1882 categorizes these diseases into five groups, each with specific responses, ranging from mandatory eradication to optional eradication or surveillance. Key regulatory priorities include enhanced animal traceability, biosecurity, wildlife pathogen control, sustainable farming practices, and minimizing the impact of diseases on public health, animal health, and the environment.
