Abstract excerpt
Since 2010, highly virulent mutant GII subtype porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strains derived from GI subtype strains have caused significant economic losses in the pig industry. However, the molecular mechanism of PEDV virulence evolution remains unclear. It has been predicted that, compared to the S proteins of GI strains, five N-linked glycosylation sites have changed in the highly virulent GII PEDV...
