Update on Senecavirus Infection in Pigs.

ABSTRACT: Senecavirus A (SVA) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Senecavirus genus within the Picornaviridae family. The virus has been silently circulating in pig herds of the USA since 1988. However, cases of senecavirus-associated vesicular disease were reported in Canada in 2007 and in the USA in 2012. Since late 2014 and early 2015, an increasing number of senecavirus outbreaks have been reported in pigs in different producing categories, with this virus being detected in Brazil, China, and Thailand. Considering the novel available data on senecavirus infection and disease, 2015 may be a divisor in the epidemiology of the virus. Among the aspects that reinforce this hypothesis are the geographical distribution of the virus, the affected pig-producing categories, clinical signs associated with the infection, and disease severity. This review presents the current knowledge regarding the senecavirus infection and disease, especially in the last two years. Senecavirus epidemiology, pathogenic potential, host immunological response, diagnosis, and prophylaxis and control measures are addressed. Perspectives are focused on the need for complete evolutionary, epidemiological and pathogenic data and the capability for an immediate diagnosis of senecavirus infection. The health risks inherent in the swine industry cannot be neglected.

Preliminary Evaluation of Protective Efficacy of Inactivated Senecavirus A on Pigs.

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA), formerly known as Seneca Valley virus (SVV), causes vesicular symptoms in adult pigs and acute death of neonatal piglets. This pathogen has emerged in major swine producing countries around the world and caused significant economic losses to the pig industry. Thus, it is necessary to develop strategies to prevent and control SVA infection. Herein, an SVA strain (named GD-ZYY02-2018) was isolated from a pig herd with vesicular symptoms in Guangdong province of China in 2018. The present study aimed to carry out the phylogenetic analysis of the GD-ZYY02-2018 strain, determine its pathogenicity in finishing pigs, and assess the protective efficacy of the inactivated GD-ZYY02-2018 strain against virus challenge. The results of phylogenetic analysis showed that the SVA GD-ZYY02-2018 strain belonged to the USA-like strains and had a close genetic relationship with recent Chinese SVA strains. Animal challenge experiment showed that 100-day-old pigs inoculated intranasally with SVA GD-ZYY02-2018 strain developed vesicular lesion, low fever, viremia, and virus shedding in feces. The immunization challenge experiment showed that pigs vaccinated with inactivated GD-ZYY02-2018 strain could produce a high titer of anti-SVA neutralizing antibody and no vesicular lesion, fever, viremia, and virus shedding in feces was observed in vaccinated pigs after challenge with GD-ZYY02-2018 strain, indicating that inactivated GD-ZYY02-2018 could protect finishing pigs against the challenge of homologous virus. In conclusion, preliminary results indicated that inactivated GD-ZYY02-2018 could be used as a candidate vaccine for in-depth research and might be conducive to the prevention and control of SVA infection.

Infectious dose of Senecavirus A in market weight and neonatal pigs.

Project description:Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a picornavirus that produces a highly transmissible vesicular disease that can devastate meat and dairy production to such an extent that FMDV-free countries commit significant economic resources to maintain their FMDV-free status. Senecavirus A (SVA), also a picornavirus, causes vesicular disease in swine that is indistinguishable from FMDV. Since 2015, SVA outbreaks have been reported around the world requiring FMDV-free countries to investigate these cases to rule out FMDV. Understanding the pathogenesis of the SVA and its ability to transmit to naïve populations is critical to formulating control and prevention measures, which could reduce FMDV investigations. The primary objective of this study was to determine the infectious dose of SVA in market weight and neonatal pigs. A 2011 SVA isolate was serially hundred-fold diluted to create four challenge inoculums ranging from 106.5 to 100.5 TCID50/ml. Four market weight pigs individually housed were intranasally inoculated with 5 mL of each dose (n = 16). Serial ten-fold dilutions were used to create 6 challenge inoculums ranging from 105.5 to 100.5 TCID50/ml for neonatal pigs. Again, four animals in individual housing were challenged orally with 2 mL of each dose (n = 24). Detection of SVA by PCR in collected samples and/or neutralizing antibody response was utilized to classify an animal as infected. The minimum infectious dose for this study in market weight animals was 1,260 TCID50/ml (103.1 TCID50/ml) and for neonates it was 316 TCID50/ml (102.5 TCID50/ml). Knowledge of the infectious dose of SVA can guide biosecurity and disinfection measures to control the spread of SVA.

Disruption of anthrax toxin receptor 1 in pigs leads to a rare disease phenotype and protection from senecavirus A infection.

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA) is a cause of vesicular disease in pigs, and infection rates are rising within the swine industry. Recently, anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1) was revealed as the receptor for SVA in human cells. Herein, the role of ANTXR1 as a receptor for SVA in pigs was investigated by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Strikingly, ANTXR1 knockout (KO) pigs exhibited features consistent with the rare disease, GAPO syndrome, in humans. Fibroblasts from wild type (WT) pigs supported replication of SVA; whereas, fibroblasts from KO pigs were resistant to infection. During an SVA challenge, clinical symptoms, including vesicular lesions, and circulating viremia were present in infected WT pigs but were absent in KO pigs. Additional ANTXR1-edited piglets were generated that were homozygous for an in-frame (IF) mutation. While IF pigs presented a GAPO phenotype similar to the KO pigs, fibroblasts showed mild infection, and circulating SVA nucleic acid was decreased in IF compared to WT pigs. Thus, this new ANTXR1 mutation resulted in decreased permissiveness of SVA in pigs. Overall, genetic disruption of ANTXR1 in pigs provides a unique model for GAPO syndrome and prevents circulating SVA infection and clinical symptoms, confirming that ANTXR1 acts as a receptor for the virus.

Detection of the Emerging Picornavirus Senecavirus A in Pigs, Mice, and Houseflies.

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging picornavirus that has been recently associated with an increased number of outbreaks of vesicular disease and neonatal mortality in swine. Many aspects of SVA infection biology and epidemiology remain unknown. Here, we present a diagnostic investigation conducted in swine herds affected by vesicular disease and increased neonatal mortality. Clinical and environmental samples were collected from affected and unaffected herds and were screened for the presence of SVA by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR and virus isolation. Notably, SVA was detected and isolated from vesicular lesions and tissues of affected pigs, environmental samples, mouse feces, and mouse small intestine. SVA nucleic acid was also detected in houseflies collected from affected farms and from a farm with no history of vesicular disease. Detection of SVA in mice and housefly samples and recovery of viable virus from mouse feces and small intestine suggest that these pests may play a role on the epidemiology of SVA. These results provide important information that may allow the development of improved prevention and control strategies for SVA.

Potent Protective Immune Responses to Senecavirus Induced by Virus-Like Particle Vaccine in Pigs.

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA) is the pathogen that has recently caused porcine idiopathic vesicular disease (PIVD). The clinical symptoms of PIVD are similar to those of acute foot-and-mouth disease and also can result in the death of newborn piglets, thus entailing economic losses. Vaccine immunization is the most effective way to prevent and control SVA. Among all SVA vaccines reported, only the SVA inactivated vaccine has been successfully developed. However, to ensure the elimination of this pathogen, safer and more effective vaccines are urgently required. A virus-like particles (VLPs)-based vaccine is probably the best alternative to inactivated vaccine. To develop an SVA VLPs vaccine and evaluate its immune effect, a prokaryotic expression system was used to produce SVA capsid protein and assemble VLPs. The VLPs were characterized by affinity chromatography, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, ZetaSizer and transmission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, the SVA CH-HB-2017 strain was used to infect pigs and to determine infection routes and dose. Experimental pigs were then immunized with the SVA VLPs vaccine emulsified in an ISA 201 adjuvant. The results showed that the VLPs vaccine induced neutralizing and specific antibodies at similar levels as an inactivated SVA vaccine after immunization. The level of INF-γ induced by the VLPs vaccine gradually decreased-similar to that of inactivated vaccine. These results indicated that VLPs vaccine may simultaneously cause both cellular and humoral immune responses. Importantly, after the challenge, the VLPs vaccine provided similar levels of protection as the inactivated SVA vaccine. In this study, we successfully obtained novel SVA VLPs and confirmed their highly immunogenicity, thus providing a superior candidate vaccine for defense and elimination of SVA, compared to the inactivated vaccine.

The porcine piRNA transcriptome response to Senecavirus a infection.

Project description:IntroductionSenecavirus A (SVA) belongs to the genus Senecavirus in the family Picornaviridae. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small Ribonucleic Acids (RNAs) that have been found in mammalian cells in recent years. However, the expression profile of piRNAs in the host during SVA infection and their roles are poorly understood.MethodsHere, we found the significant differential expression of 173 piRNAs in SVA-infected porcine kidney (PK-15) cells using RNA-seq and 10 significant differentially expressed (DE) piRNAs were further verified by qRT-PCR.ResultsGO annotation analysis showed that metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation were significantly activated after SVA infection. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that significant DE piRNAs were mainly enriched in AMPK pathway, Rap1 pathway, circadian rhythm and VEGF pathway. It was suggested that piRNAs may regulated antiviral immunity, intracellular homeostasis, and tumor activities during SVA infection. In addition, we found that the expression levels of the major piRNA-generating genes BMAL1 and CRY1 were significantly downregulated after SVA infection.DiscussionThis suggests that SVA may affect circadian rhythm and promote apoptosis by inhibiting the major piRNA-generating genes BMAL1 and CRY1. The piRNA transcriptome in PK-15 cells has never been reported before, and this study will further the understanding of the piRNA regulatory mechanisms underlying SVA infections.

The porcine piRNA transcriptome response to Senecavirus A infection

Project description:Senecavirus A (SVA) belongs to the family of small RNA viruses, the genus Senecavirus, and has become a research hotspot because of the oncolytic viral characteristics. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small RNAs found in mammalian cells in recent years; however, the host piRNA expression profile during SVA infection and their role in viral infection is not well understood. In this study, we obtained small RNA transcriptome expression profiles from SVA-infected pig kidney cell lines (PK-15) by high-throughput sequencing. Differential expression (DE) analysis, GO annotation, and KEGG analysis of piRNAs in SVA-infected and non-infected PK-15 cells were performed. qRT-PCR was used to validate the DE of piRNAs. The results showed that 981 and 1,370 novel piRNAs were identified in SVA-infected and non-infected PK-15 cells; expression of 129 piRNAs was upregulated while that of 44 piRNAs was downregulated after SVA infection. The DE of 10 piRNAs was further verified by qRT-PCR. GO annotation analysis results showed the metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation were significantly activated after SVA infection. KEGG results showed that after SVA infection, piRNA was mainly enriched in AMPK signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, circadian rhythm, and VEGF signaling pathway, which suggested that piRNAs may play a role in regulating antiviral immunity, intracellular homeostasis, and tumor processes during SVA infection. This is the first report of the piRNA transcriptome in pig kidney cells and will contribute to the research of piRNA regulatory mechanism during SVA infections and provide an important reference for the prevention and treatment of SVA.
