Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) introduction into a naive Dutch pig population in 2014 2018-05-24 .txt text/plain 4216 207 57 Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the highly contagious, causative agent of an economically important acute enteric disease in pigs of all ages. In total, 838 blood samples from sows from 267 farms and 101 samples from wild boars were collected from May till November 2014 and tested for antibodies against PEDV by ELISA. The number of required blood samples from animals and farms to estimate the seroprevalence of PEDV in Dutch sow herds was calculated based on the following assumptions: PEDV is highly contagious and no vaccination against this virus was carried out in the Netherlands. For the detection of PEDV antibodies in serum samples an in-house indirect ELISA based on the viral spike (S) protein S1-part of the G2b strain GDU (Non-S-INDEL, GenBank KU985230.1) was used, similar as the ELISA previously described (Gerber et al., 2014) . ./cache/cord-320559-up1q3k6q.txt ./txt/cord-320559-up1q3k6q.txt
