Genetic characterization of Porcine circovirus type 2 from 2013 to 2018 in Shandong Province, China.

ABSTRACT: PCV2 belongs to the genus Circovirus, family Circoviridae, who is recognized as the causative agents of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. Since being found to China in 2000, it has caused serious damage to the pig industry. In this study, we downloaded 40 PCV2 genome-wide sequences uploaded to GenBank from 2013 to 2018 in Shandong Province, including 23 uploaded by our laboratory. Construction of a genome-wide evolution tree using MEGA V5.0 software. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that the genotype of PCV2 in Shandong Province was: three genotypes coexisted (2a, 2b, 2d); among them, PCV2d has become the main genotype in the province due to its number and spread range. Amino acid sequence analysis of different genotypes of ORF2 showed that specific amino acid sites exist in different genotypes, with the most significant range of 81-160; different genotypes of PCV2 can be distinguished at the molecular level. This study found that due to the increase in infections of the PCV2d genotype in recent years, it may replace PCV2b as the dominant base in Shandong.

Project description:BackgroundPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), a member of the genus Circovirus and family Circoviridae, is a closed, small, circular, and single-stranded DNA virus, and it is a crucial swine pathogen of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVADs). PCV2 was first detected in PK-15(ATCC-CCL) cells in 1974, which has caused significant economic loss to the swine industry throughout the world. And the first case of PCV2 was reported in China in 2000. At present, PCV2d is the main genotype circulating widely in China.MethodsLymph samples were obtained from piglets with emaciation and respiratory disease in Guangxi province, China. The main pathogens were detected via PCR from lymph samples, and then PCV2-single positive samples were used to inoculate with PK-15 cells. After successive generations, the isolate was subsequently identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunofluorescence assay (IFA), Western blot (WB), and transmission electron microscopic (TEM). The full-length genome and genetic characterization of isolates were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. The TCID50 of the PCV2-GX-6 was determined by IFA, and the pathogenicity of PCV2 in BALB/c mice was analyzed via the mouse model.ResultsThe isolates were successfully isolated from clinical samples. The complete genome of PCV2-GX-4, PCV2-GX-6, PCV2-GX-7, PCV2-GX-11 and PCV2-GX-16 have been amplified, sequenced, and deposited in GenBank (accession no.: OR133747, OQ803314, OR133748, OR133749, OR133750). Homology and phylogenetic analysis with reference strains showed that the isolates belonged to the PCV2d genotype. The PCV2-GX-6 could be stably passaged more than 30 times in PK-15 cells. PCV2-GX-6 was identified by PCR, IFA, WB and TEM. The results of homology showed that PCV2-GX-6 was closely related to the reference strains PCV2-JS17-8 (GenBank accession no.: MH211363). Pathogenicity studies in mice have shown that PCV2-GX-6 can lead to growth inhibition of mice. Meanwhile PCV2-GX-6 caused the typical lesions of spleen, lung and kidney. The results of qPCR showed that PCV2 can effectively proliferate in the liver, spleen, lung, and kidney.ConclusionPCV2-GX-6 can successfully infect BLAB/c mice, effectively proliferate in major organs, and possessed high pathogenicity. In conclusion, combined with the genotype and pathogenicity of PCV2d currently prevalent, PCV2-GX-6 can be used as a candidate vaccine strain.
