Article Abstract
Porcine kobuvirus (PKV) infection is very common in both healthy pigs and diarrhea pigs throughout the world. However, there is no proof that it causes diarrhea, and little is known about its role in diarrhea. There are only a few reports concerning porcine kobuvirus separation at present, which makes investigating its invasion and pathogenesis mechanisms difficult. This study sequenced the entire genome of a porcine kobuvirus strain termed "Wuhan2020" after it was isolated from intestinal tissue samples of healthy piglets. The analysis results revealed that it shared the most resemblance with the WUH1 strain (89.5%) and belonged to the same evolutionary branch as the Hungarian strain S-1-SUN. The PKV was located using the in situ hybridization (ISH) approach, which revealed that it was colonized in intestinal villus epithelial cells and lymphocytes in the Peyer's patch. In general, we analyzed the genetic evolution of PKV, discovered PKV susceptible cells and determined PKV localization in the intestine of infected pigs, providing a reference for future research.

Kobuvirus is a new genus of viruses in the family causing diarrhea in animals. Porcine kobuvirus (PKV) is an important pathogen with a high rate of infection in pig herds. In this study, a total of 10,990 fecal swabs and tissue samples were collected from different areas of Guangxi province in southern China during 2021-2025 and then tested for PKV using RT-qPCR.

Background: Enteric virus infections around time of weaning have always been related to pig diseases such as postweaning diarrhea. Little, however, is known about the virus infection pattern (species, timing and viral load) in clinically healthy pigs. Virus infections may help to train and shape the immune system and presumably only lead to clinical disease when uncontrolled.

Porcine sapelovirus (PSV), porcine kobuvirus (PKV), porcine teschovirus (PTV), and porcine enterovirus G (EV-G) are all important viruses in the swine industry. These viruses play important roles in the establishment of similar clinical signs of diseases in pigs, including diarrhea, encephalitis, and reproductive and respiratory disorders. The early accurate detection of these viruses is crucial for dealing with these diseases.

Porcine viral diarrhea has always been one of the main obstacles to the healthy development of the pig industry in China with its variety of pathogens and complexity of co-infections. Analysis of the dominant mixed-infection model is a fundamental step in boosting the prevention and control of porcine diarrhea. In this study, 3256 porcine fecal samples were collected from 17 pig herds in Shanghai, China, from 2015 to 2023 to identify novel pathogenic infection patterns.

In 2020, severe diarrhea occurred in four-month-old fattening pigs from nine farms in Shandong Province, China. Fecal samples were collected from diseased pigs and tested by PCR for the presence of mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), porcine rotavirus A (PoRVA), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine kobuvirus (PKV), and pseudorabies virus (PRV). The viral RNA of MRV and PEDV was detected in the fecal samples.
