High Prevalence of Highly Variable Atypical Porcine Pestiviruses Found in Germany

M Beer et al. Transbound Emerg Dis. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Recently, a novel atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) with significant distribution was described in the USA. Subsequent screening of the German pig sector showed a high prevalence of APPV with high variability among strains. First indication of a cell culture isolate is provided which will allow further investigations like pathogenesis studies.

Keywords: atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV); prevalence; virus characterization.
