Abstract

Pseudorabies, caused by the pseudorabies virus (PRV), is an acute fatal disease, which can infect rodents, mammals, and other livestock and wild animals across species. Recently, the emergence of PRV virulent isolates indicates a high risk of a variant PRV epidemic and the need for continuous surveillance. In this study, PRV-GD and PRV-JM, two fatal PRV variants, were isolated and their pathogenicity as well as their effects on host natural immune responses were assessed. PRV-GD and PRV-JM were genetically closest to PRV variants currently circulating in Heilongjiang (HLJ8) and Jiangxi (JX/CH/2016), which belong to genotype 2.2. Consistently, antisera from sows immunized with PRV-Ea classical vaccination showed much lower neutralization ability to PRV-GD and PRV-JM. However, the antisera from the pigs infected with PRV-JM had an extremely higher neutralization ability to PRV-TJ (as a positive control), PRV-GD and PRV-JM. In vivo, PRV-GD and PRV-JM infections caused 100% death in mice and piglets and induced extensive tissue damage, cell death, and inflammatory cytokine release. Our analysis of the emergence of PRV variants indicate that pigs immunized with the classical PRV vaccine are incapable of providing sufficient protection against these PRV isolates, and there is a risk of continuous evolution and virulence enhancement. Efforts are still needed to conduct epidemiological monitoring for the PRV and to develop novel vaccines against this emerging and reemerging infectious disease.
