High prevalence of a novel porcine bocavirus in weanling piglets with respiratory tract symptoms in China

Abstract: This study presents the first evidence of infection by a novel porcine bocavirus (PBoV) in Chinese swine herds. The PCR detection results showed that PBoV was significantly more prevalent in weanling piglets (69.7%, 69/99) with respiratory tract symptoms than that in other samples (0-13.6%) (P < 0.01). Sequence analysis showed that the partial VP1/2 genes were highly conserved (99-100% identity), and only five frequent nucleotide mutation positions existed in Chinese PBoV strains. These data indicate that PBoV… Show more

“…Individual infection of PBoV usually causes no apparent clinical signs, and the co-infection of PBoV could make the clinical signs more obvious (Kesebir et al, 2006). Many scientists have also reported that PBoV exhibit varying prevalence rates with a wide range from 1.5% to 88% in pig samples from different regions (Blomstrom et al, 2009(Blomstrom et al, , 2010Zhai et al, 2010;Cadar et al, 2011;Li et al, 2011;McKillen et al, 2011;Shan et al, 2011a;Zeng et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011). In the present manuscript, compared with other organs in Chinese samples, the spleen (20.8%) and inguinal lymph node (27.2%) have much higher positive rates, suggesting that they are organs in which PBoV replication likely easily takes place.…”

“…Subsequent studies reported the nearly complete genome characterization of two species of PBoVs in China, PBoV1 and PBoV2 (7,12,(15)(16)(17). In recent studies, two new species of porcine bocaviruses (PBoV3 and PBoV4) were discovered in Northern Ireland and Hong Kong (11,14).…”

“…Based on partial nucleotide sequencing, this novel porcine parvovirus was proposed to be a porcine boca-like virus (PBoV-like). Subsequent studies revealed the high prevalence of this novel PBoV-like in weaning piglets with respiratory tract symptoms or PMWS, and even in pigs without PMWS (Blomström et al, 2010;Zhai et al, 2010). However, to date, the complete genomic sequence for PBoV-like has not been reported.…”

“…Using an established PCR, which amplifies a 496 bp fragment containing the partial VP1/VP2 genes of PBoVlike (Zhai et al, 2010), 120 clinical serum samples from clinically normal pigs from four different farms in Hubei province, China, were analysed. Nearly 40 % (47 of 120) of the samples were positive when tested by PCR (data not shown).…”
