Abstract:

Porcine parvovirus type 1 (PPV1), commonly known as porcine parvovirus is the main pathogen of reproductive disorder of sows. From 2001 to 2016, six new types of porcine parvoviruses have been identified in pigs and designated consecutively as porcine parvovirus type 2 through 7 (PPV2-PPV7). In order to determine the infection status and genetic variation of PPV1-PPV7 in Jiangsu, China, two strains of PPV1, two strains of PPV2, and one strain of PPV3, PPV4, PPV5, PPV6 and PPV7 positive tissue samples were identified and collected by routine PCR assay of PPV1-PPV7 strains. These 9 complete genomes of PPV1-PPV7 were sequenced and compared with the reference strains of PPV1-PPV7 in GenBank. The genetic and evolutionary molecular characteristics of PPV1-PPV7 genomes and viral capsid protein 2 (VP2) were systematically analyzed by using bioinformatics analysis software. The result showed that the homology of complete genomes between PPV1-PPV7 sequencing strains and homotypic strains from GenBank was higher than 97%, while the homology between the genomes of different PPV types was less than 60.40%. The amino acid sequence of VP2 of PPV1-PPV7 sequencing strains was more than 97% homologous to the homotypic strains from GenBank, but the homology of VP2 of different porcine parvovirus types were significantly different. The homology of VP2 amino acid sequences between PPV4 and PPV5 was only 55%, and the homologies between other PPV1-PPV7 types were even lower, ranging from 9% to 17%. In addition, VP2 of two new PPV1 strains were analyzed for virulence. The analysis showed that two PPV1 epidemic strains had similar virulence sites with PPV1 high-virulence strain Kresse, and 5 unique mutations were found in the endemic strains, which might be high-virulence strains. This study contributes to a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology of PPV1-PPV7 in Chinese pigs and the formulation of scientific control measures.
