Abstract

The persistence of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV) infection was demonstrated in 7 swine farms employing continuous pig flow management even after seasonal outbreaks. Clinically, sporadic postweaning diarrhea was a major concern in those farms. Subsequently circulatory antibody detection using serum neutralizing test made useful for confirmation of PEDV persistent infections. The persistence of PEDV in the premise might have induced recurrence over the period of time.
