Chinese-like strain of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, Thailand

Emerg Infect Dis. 2009 Jul;15(7):1112-5. doi: 10.3201/eid1507.081256.

Abstract

Since late 2007, several outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection have emerged in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis places all Thai PEDV isolates during the outbreaks in the same clade as the Chinese strain JS-2004-2. This new genotype PEDV is prevailing and currently causing sporadic outbreaks in Thailand.
