Article Abstract

Swine enteric coronaviruses (SECoVs), including porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), have caused high mortality in piglets and, therefore, pose serious threats to the pork industry. Coronaviruses exhibit a trend of interspecies transmission, and understanding the host range of SECoVs is crucial for improving our ability to predict and control future epidemics. Here, the replication of PDCoV, TGEV, and PEDV in cells from different host species was compared by measuring viral genomic RNA transcription and protein synthesis. We demonstrated that PDCoV had a higher efficiency in infecting human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549), Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells (MDBK), Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK), and chicken embryonic fibroblast cells (DF-1) than PEDV and TGEV. Moreover, trypsin can enhance the infectivity of PDCoV to MDCK cells that are nonsusceptible to TGEV. Additionally, structural analyses of the receptor ectodomain indicate that PDCoV S1 engages Aminopeptidase N (APN) via domain II, which is highly conserved among animal species of different vertebrates. Our findings provide a basis for understanding the interspecies transmission potential of these three porcine coronaviruses.

The gut microbiota of piglets is crucial for intestinal health and immune function, yet highly susceptible to various factors. Multiple factors such as Genetic and Sow Factors, feeding environment, diet and pathogen combine to shape the gut microbiota of piglets. PEDV, a highly pathogenic and transmissible virus, disrupts the gut microbiota by damaging the intestinal epithelial barrier, leading to microbial imbalance, weakened gut immunity, and severe diarrhea.

Porcine sapovirus (PoSaV) is an emerging enteric pathogen in swine industry, primarily associated with diarrhea in weaning and post-weaning pigs. To date, eight genogroups of PoSaVs have been identified, with genogroup III (GIII) being the most prevalent worldwide. However, the isolation of field strains in various cell lines has achieved limited success, hindering progress in PoSaV research.

Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is one of the major pathogen causing swine diarrhea, inducing acute severe atrophic enteritis and lethal watery diarrhea in neonatal piglets with up to 100 % mortality, resulting in significant economic losses to the swine industry. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is known as an invasion receptor for SARS-CoV-2, but its role in TGEV infection remains unclear, and the current understanding of TGEV infection mechanisms is incomplete. In this study, we identified an important role for porcine ACE2 (pACE2) in TGEV infection.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a highly virulent enteric coronavirus, induces severe watery diarrhea and mortality in suckling piglets. The spike (S) protein, a critical mediator of viral entry, undergoes extensive N-linked glycosylation. To elucidate the functional significance of these post-translational modifications, we employed a reverse genetics system to generate 19 recombinant PEDV strains with single-site mutations at predicted N-glycosylation sites.

Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is a recently discovered enteric coronavirus that has caused considerable economic losses in the pig industry. SADS-CoV was first reported in 2017 in Guangdong Province, China, and subsequently in Fujian, Guangxi, Henan and Jiangxi Provinces. Bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST-2), also known as tetherin, acts as an antiviral protein to limit the release of a wide range of enveloped viruses.
