Novel ORF5 deletion of NADC30-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses circulating in northern China from 2016 to 2018.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: North American porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (NA-PRRSV), especially NADC30-like PRRSV, has evolved and is prevalent in China. We collected 503 samples from pig breeding farms across 4 provinces in northern China from 2016 to 2018. The samples were screened by PCR testing with specific primers that could differentiate groups of NA-PRRSV; phylogenetic trees were constructed and analyzed. Overall, 175 of 503 (34.8%) samples were positive for NA-PRRSV. Dual (NADC30-like and highly pathogenic [HP]-PRRSV; NADC30-like and typical PRRSV; HP and typical PRRSV) and triple (NADC30-like, HP, and typical PRRSV) infections (92 of 175, 52.6%) were common in coinfections by NADC30-like and HP-PRRSV. Notably, 18 of 125 (14.4%) semen samples were positive for PRRSV, and 17 of the 18 positive semen samples contained NADC30-like PRRSV. Phylogenetic analysis based on GP5 amino acids revealed that the novel NADC30-like PRRSV with a unique single amino acid deletion at position 34 has become widespread and has evolved into a new subgroup.
