Abstract:

The aim of this study was to obtain porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) strain in China and study its biological characteristics. Porcine kidney (PK-15) cell monolayers were inoculated with the samples that were positive for PDCoV only by RT-PCR. PDCoV from the first passage was further serially passed in PK-15 cells. These cell cultures infected with PDCoV were confirmed by cytopathic effect (CPE), sequencing and analysis of PDCoV M gene, acid test; TCID50 was confirmed by Reed-Muench method; The 11-day-old piglets were inoculated with 5×104.0 TCID50/mL virus suspension and observed for clinical symptoms. The results indicated that the PDCoV was successfully isolated in cell culture and designated TJ1, and the infectious titer of the 5th passage of TJ1 strain was 104.5 TCID50/mL; The isolated virus was resistant to chloroform and ether, it was stable at pH 3.0, and the virus was inactivated at 50℃ for 1 h; The TJ1 M gene shared a homology of 94% to 99% with PDCoV M gene sequences published previously in GenBank; The animal pathogenicity test showed that diarrhea occurred in all piglets by TJ1. This study successfully isolated a PDCoV TJ1 strain, and these biological characteristics of the strain were studied preliminarily, which provided a foundation for further research on PDCoV.
