Abstract
Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome (PRRS) caused by Betaarterivirus suid leads to severe economic losses. The emergence of highly pathogenic Betaarterivirus suid 2 (PRRSV-II), such as NADC30 and NADC34, has been reported in the USA and several Asian countries. NADC30-like PRRSV-II was first reported in 2018 in Taiwan. To investigate the PRRSV variants currently circulating in Taiwan, sequences covering ORF2-5 of Taiwan PRRSV isolates collected between 2020 and 2023 were analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of the ORF5 nucleotide sequence indicated that most of the Taiwan isolates were clustered in lineage 3 and three isolates were grouped in lineage 1 and were closely related to the NADC34 strain. Interestingly, these three NADC34-like Taiwan PRRSV isolates carried amino acid deletions similar to NADC30 and were more closely related to NADC30 strains than the NADC34 strains in the Nsp2 gene. Next-generation sequencing and recombination detection program showed potential recombination of lineage 3 with NADC30- and NADC34-like PRRSV-II. Our results suggest the presence of circulating mosaic recombinants and lineage 3 PRRSV-II in Taiwan during 2020 and 2023.
期刊介绍:
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases brings together in one place the latest research on infectious diseases considered to hold the greatest economic threat to animals and humans worldwide. The journal provides a venue for global research on their diagnosis, prevention and management, and for papers on public health, pathogenesis, epidemiology, statistical modeling, diagnostics, biosecurity issues, genomics, vaccine development and rapid communication of new outbreaks. Papers should include timely research approaches using state-of-the-art technologies. The editors encourage papers adopting a science-based approach on socio-economic and environmental factors influencing the management of the bio-security threat posed by these diseases, including risk analysis and disease spread modeling. Preference will be given to communications focusing on novel science-based approaches to controlling transboundary and emerging diseases. The following topics are generally considered out-of-scope, but decisions are made on a case-by-case basis (for example, studies on cryptic wildlife populations, and those on potential species extinctions):
Pathogen discovery: a common pathogen newly recognised in a specific country, or a new pathogen or genetic sequence for which there is little context about — or insights regarding — its emergence or spread.
Prevalence estimation surveys and risk factor studies based on survey (rather than longitudinal) methodology, except when such studies are unique. Surveys of knowledge, attitudes and practices are within scope.
Diagnostic test development if not accompanied by robust sensitivity and specificity estimation from field studies.
Studies focused only on laboratory methods in which relevance to disease emergence and spread is not obvious or can not be inferred (“pure research” type studies).
Narrative literature reviews which do not generate new knowledge. Systematic and scoping reviews, and meta-analyses are within scope.
