Abstract

Nationwide porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) outbreaks occurred in late 2013 in the Republic of Korea, resulting in an expansion of genomic data for Korean PEDVs. However, the data available for Korean PEDVs before 2013 are insufficient. Therefore, we sequenced and analyzed the complete genome of a Korean PEDV strain, KUPE21, which was isolated in the early 2000s.
