Abstract: To elucidate evolutionary characteristics of the memberane (M) genes of porcine epidemic diarrhea viruses in Fujian, China, 12 samples collected from Fujian province during 2015 to 2017 were screened by multiplex RT-PCR,M genes of PEDV viruses from positive samples were amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into pMD18-T vectors for sequencing respectively. The sequence data were done alignment and phylogenetic analysis with sequences from known reference strains. The M genes from 12 representative positive samples shared 100.0% identity at amino acid level. 12 representative positive samples are remote to classical strain CV777, SM98 and virulent DR13. 12 representative strains belong to the genotype variant strain. Molecular structure characteristics analysis showed that M gene is highly conservative and could be an optimal candidate protein for vaccine development.
