Abstract
Porcine parvovirus (PPV), a non-envelope single-stranded DNA virus, causes severe reproductive disorders in swine worldwide, characterized by fetal mortality, mummification, and reduced boar fertility. As a highly prevalent pathogen in Chinese swine herds, PPV imposes substantial economic burdens on intensive pig production systems. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances in PPV virology, focusing on genomic evolution of emerging strains (PPV1-PPV8), epidemiological dynamics of emerging strains, molecular pathogenesis, and novel diagnostic tools. Furthermore, we critically evaluate current vaccine strategies, highlighting their limitations in cross-protective efficacy and viral shedding control. By integrating multi-omics insights with immunological profiling, this work delineates actionable pathways for next-generation vaccine design and proposes a roadmap for rational antigen selection. This review consolidates foundational knowledge and establishes a translational bridge between basic virology and prevention and control of porcine parvovirus, addressing critical gaps in porcine reproductive disease management.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
