Abstract: A detection method for porcine kobuvirus (PKV) with RT-PCR technique was established to detect the 3D gene of PKV from the intestinal tract of diarrhea piglets, with the detection limit about 2.3 pg RNA. 50 samples of diarrhea piglets were detected by the RT-PCR method, the PKV positive rate of samples was 58 percent. The PCR detection method established in this study has the characteristics of sensitivity, high specificity and good repeatability, and could be used in molecular epidemiological investigation and rapid clinical diagnosis of PKV.

Key words: porcine kobuvirus; RT-PCR; homology analysis
