Spillover of Swine Coronaviruses, United States

Sarah N Bevins et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, a pathogen first detected in US domestic swine in 2013, has rapidly spilled over into feral swine populations. A better understanding of the factors associated with pathogen emergence is needed to better manage, and ultimately prevent, future spillover events from domestic to nondomestic animals.

Keywords: PEDV; United States; pathogen emergence; pigs; porcine epidemic virus; spillover; swine; swine coronavirus; viruses.

Collection locations of feral swine samples tested for exposure to swine coronaviruses, United States. In California, 4 PEDV-positive samples were detected at the same location. Samples that were ELISA-positive, but PEDV-negative probably indicate exposure to transmissible gastroenteritis virus.
