Rapid detection, complete genome sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis of porcine deltacoronavirus

Abstract

In February 2014, porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) was identified in the United States. We developed a PDCoV real-time reverse transcription PCR that identified PDCoV in 30% of samples tested. Four additional PDCoV genomes from the United States were sequenced; these had ≈99%-100% nt similarity to the other US PDCoV strains.
