Abstract
Atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) was recently reported to be associated with neurologic disorders in newborn piglets. Investigations of 1,460 serum samples of apparently healthy pigs from different parts of Europe and Asia demonstrate a geographically wide distribution of genetically highly variable APPV and high APPV genome and antibody detection rates.
Keywords:
Asia; Europe; atypical porcine pestivirus; genetic variability; genome detection; geographic distribution; serology; viruses; zoonoses.
