Research Advances on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea and New Vaccine

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is one of the important diseases that endanger the healthy development of the pig industry.It has acute and highly infectious characteristics,causing severe economic losses to the pig industry.Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection could destroy the animal's digestive system,cause the appetite of sick pigs to decline,vomit,and severe diarrhea.And the piglets cured by drugs will also have a serious impact on production due to factors such as poor growth and development,which will bring huge problems to the farmers.The outbreak of PEDV highly pathogenic mutant strains in China in 2010 led to a significant increase in the incidence and mortality of PED,which severely affected pig production in China.The outbreak of PED has drawn close attention from the pig industry.Scholars in related research fields have conducted more in-depth research on the pathogenic mechanism of PEDV and the new PED vaccine.Five new types of PED vaccines,including subunit vaccine,virus live vector vaccine,bacterial live vector vaccine,transgenic plant vaccine and nucleic acid vaccine,have been developed successively,and new breakthroughs and progress have been made.Compared with the traditional PED inactivated vaccine and PED attenuated vaccine,the new PED genetically engineered vaccine has the advantages of good safety,simple preparation,and good immune effect.This article focuses on the pathogenesis of PEDV and the research progress of five new PED vaccines,so as to deepen our understanding of new PEDV and PED vaccines,in order to provide references for prevention and control measures of PEDV infection.
