Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 1 (PRRSV-1) strains isolated from different farms in China have significant genomic heterogeneity, whereas strains from the same farm present a high degree of genomic similarity. In this study, primary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) and high-throughput sequencing technology were used to successfully isolate and characterize two different PRRSV-1 strains (designated TZJ3556-1 and TZJ3556-2) in a single pig from a farm in Shandong Province with a PRRSV-1 outbreak. Phylogenetic analysis based on ORF5 and complete genome sequences revealed that both TZJ3556-1 and TZJ3556-2 belong to the BJEU06-1-like subgroup. Nucleotide (nt) sequence alignment revealed that the pairwise genomic similarity between TZJ3556-1 and TZJ3556-2 was only 86.03%. Additionally, both strains exhibited the characteristic 5 (4+1) discontinuous amino acid (aa) deletion in the Nsp2 region. Recombination analysis revealed that TZJ3556-1 is one of the parental strains for the recombinant strain TZJ3556-2, contributing Nsp1β, partial Nsp2, partial ORF4, and ORF5-3’UTR genes. This study reports, for the first time, coinfection with multiple PRRSV-1 strains in a single pig and the emergence of an intrasubgroup recombinant strain within the BJEU06-1-like subgroup. The genetic diversity of PRRSV-1 strains in China is likely to become increasingly complex, and these strains may have overcome physical barriers between farms. The emergence of complex and diverse PRRSV-1 strains poses a serious challenge for the prevention and control of PRRS in China.
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.
