Rapid detection, complete genome sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis of porcine deltacoronavirus

Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 Aug;20(8):1347-50. doi: 10.3201/eid2008.140526.

Abstract

In February 2014, porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) was identified in the United States. We developed a PDCoV real-time reverse transcription PCR that identified PDCoV in 30% of samples tested. Four additional PDCoV genomes from the United States were sequenced; these had ≈99%-100% nt similarity to the other US PDCoV strains.

Keywords: Porcine deltacoronavirus; United States; phylogenetic analysis; rRT-PCR; viruses.
