Abstract

We report for the first time in the United States the identification of a swine pasivirus (SPaV) strain with a genomic sequence identity of less than 80% to other SPaVs reported in Europe and China, using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique in sow tissues collected from an animal study conducted in 2001, suggesting virus circulation in domestic swine.
