Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the enteric virome and its relationship between wild boars and domestic pigs, metatranscriptomic analysis and virus isolation using a swine testis (ST) cell line were conducted on fecal samples collected from 300 wild boars and 363 pigs in Japan between 2017 and 2023. Inoculation onto ST cells induced cytopathic effects (CPEs) in samples from 47 wild boars and 178 pigs. Deep sequencing of fecal...
