摘要： Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) poses a significant threat to the swine industry, causing severe disease and resulting in substantial economic losses. Despite China's implementation of a large-scale vaccine immunization strategy in recent years, various strains of PEDV, including classical attenuated vaccine strains, continue to emerge in immunized pig herds. Here, we established a one-step real-time fluorescent reverse transcription PCR (one-step real-time RT-PCR) assay targeting a 24-nucleotide deletion in the ORF1 region of three PEDV classical attenuated vaccine strains, derived from classical strains. This assay effectively distinguishes between PEDV classical attenuated vaccine strains and wild-type strains, and we also explore the causes of this discriminatory target deficiency of this method through phylogenetic and recombination analysis. We found that these three classical attenuated vaccine strains exhibit closer phylogenetic relationships and higher sequence similarity with five cell-adapted strains. Recombination analysis revealed that although recombination is widespread in the PEDV genome, the 24-nucleotide deletion site remains stable without undergoing recombination and can be utilized as a target for identification. Further analysis revealed there are no enzyme cleavage sites near the 24nucleotide site, suggesting that this deletion may have been lost during the process of culturing these viral strains in cells.The detection method we have established exhibits high specificity and sensitivity to PEDV, without cross-reactivity with other viruses causing diarrheal diseases. A total of 117 swine fecal samples were analyzed using this established one-step real-time reverse transcription PCR assay, indicating the presence of classical attenuated vaccine strains in pig herds in Gansu province, China. Additionally, the designed primer pairs and two probes can be placed in a single reaction tube to differentiate between these two types of strains, effectively reducing detection costs. These findings offer an efficient and cost-effective technological platform for clinical rapid identification testing of both wild-type and classical attenuated vaccine strains of PEDV, as well as for precise investigation of clinical data on natural infections and vaccine immunity in pig herds.
