The Emergence and Evolution of Porcine Sapelovirus: Insights from Genomic Surveillance and Recombination Analysis in China

Porcine sapelovirus (PSV) is an emerging enteric pathogen associated with diarrheal disease in pigs, yet its epidemiological characteristics and genomic diversity in China remain inadequately characterized. In this study, we systematically compiled epidemic data on all Chinese PSV strains reported in domestic and inter...

Genetic evolution and identification of an unclassified cluster of porcine circovirus type 2 in southern China.

Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important pathogen that threatens China's swine industry, and the continuous mutation and evolution of its genotypes pose serious challenges for disease prevention and control. Although southern China is a crucial production area for pig farming, systematic analyses of the genetic...

Population structure reveals clade- and region-specific dissemination of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Objectives Macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) has become highly prevalent in East Asia since the early 2000s, whereas its prevalence remains relatively low in many other regions. This striking geographic disparity has often been attributed to the expansion of a limited number of resistant lineages. Howeve...
