First detection and molecular characterization of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in India: evidence of a new variant in Karnataka
This study reports the first clinical outbreak of PED in India and identifies the circulating genotype of PEDV. The study emphasizes the need for large-scale surveillance studies to understand the disease's status. Understanding PEDV's genetic diversity and evolution is essential to develop area-specific vaccines to mitigate the disease impact on India's pig population.
