Genetic Variability and Phylogeny of Current Chinese Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Strains Based on Spike, ORF3, and Membrane Genes

Since late 2010, the outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) in China has resulted in the deaths of millions of suckling piglets. The main cause of the disease outbreak was unknown. In this study, partial spike (S), ORF3, and membrane (M) genes amplified from these variants were sequenced and an...
