| Abstract | Background Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a significant pig disease causing high mortality in suckling pigs and high morbidity across all age groups. It is highly prevalent in Southeast Asia, posing a threat of transboundary transmission to India. Although antibodies were detected as early as 2003 in Assam, there was no evidence of viral detection or molecular characterization until this study. This study reports the first clinical outbreak of PED in India, followed by the detection and genetic characterization of PED virus (PEDV) during 2022-23. Methods The outbreak was characterized, and fecal samples (n = 21) were collected from affected pigs. These samples were screened for PEDV using RT-PCR, targeting the N, S, and M genes. Serosurveillance was conducted in eight districts, and serum samples (n = 339) were tested for PEDV antibodies using ELISA. Partial N, S, and M gene sequencing, followed by phylogenetic analysis using MEGA v11.0.13, was performed to identify the prevailing genotype and variations in the coding region. Results This study identified the first clinical outbreak of PEDV in India, with morbidity rates of 55-57.1% and symptoms including yellow watery diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. PEDV was confirmed in 17 of 21 fecal samples by amplifying the N, S, and M genes. Serosurveys showed seropositivity in Mandya (2.8%), Bengaluru Rural (6.6%), and Kolar (21.6%), districts indicating PEDV circulation in the state of Karnataka, India. The phylogenetic analysis of the S and M genes placed our study sequences within the Genotype 2a (G2a) clade, aligning with other known G2a strains. In contrast, the phylogenetic tree of the N gene clustered our sequences within the Genotype 1a (G1a) clade suggesting potential recombination. The Indian PEDV strains clustered with strains of China, with unique amino acid substitutions in the S gene, particularly in the receptor binding region. Conclusion This study reports the first clinical outbreak of PED in India and identifies the circulating genotype of PEDV. The study emphasizes the need for large-scale surveillance studies to understand the disease’s status. Understanding PEDV’s genetic diversity and evolution is essential to develop area-specific vaccines to mitigate the disease impact on India’s pig population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
