Advances in porcine epidemic diarrhea virus research: genome, epidemiology, vaccines, and detection methods

Le résumé fourni par la source

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious intestinal disease caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The economic impact of PEDV on the global pig industry has been significant, resulting in considerable losses. This paper presents a review of the latest research progress on PEDV genome, molecular epidemiology, vaccine development, and molecular detection methods. It was determined that the genetic diversity of the PEDV spike (S) gene was closely associated with the epidemiological trend of PEDV. The prevalence of S gene variants of different genotypes exhibited variability across regions and pig populations. Epidemiological analyses have demonstrated that PEDV can be transmitted via multiple routes, including direct contact, airborne aerosol, and water source contamination. With regard to vaccine research, the available vaccines can be classified into several categories, including live-attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, subunit vaccines, bacterial vector vaccines, viral vector vaccines, mRNA vaccines, etc. Each of these has distinctive characteristics in terms of immunogenicity, protection efficiency, and safety. Molecular detection methods, including PCR-based methods, isothermal amplification techniques, immunological assays, and biosensors, play an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of PEDV. Furthermore, this paper examines the current developments in PEDV research and identifies the key areas of future investigation. The objective of this paper is to establish a theoretical foundation for the prevention and control strategies of PED, and to provide a point of reference for further research on the genomics, epidemiology, vaccine development and detection methods of PEDV.
