Piglets with CT are mainly characterized by rhythmic tremor in the limbs and head, complicated by ataxia. Affected animals often die due to insuffi cient sucking with a mortality rate of 10%-30%. Histopathological fi ndings of such piglets are mainly characterized by increased vacuoles in the white matter of the cerebellum, hypomyelination of the spinal cord, and microglial proliferation. APPV has been widely spread around the world since it was fi rst reported in 2015, bringing huge economic losses to the pig industry. However, as a newly discovered virus, no vaccine is currently available to prevent and control APPV infection. In addition, the diffi culties in APPV isolation and its high genetic variability severely hamper the development of APPV vaccines. Here, we propose an alternative strategy, the reverse genetics system, may be a prospective platform to address the issues with APPV vaccine design. studies have been carried out on APPV in the past few years Introduction [3-7], including epidemiology and genetic evolution, there are Congenital Tremor (CT) of piglets, also known as “shaker TI - An alternative strategy for studying emerging atypical porcine pestivirus JF - Journal of Vaccines and Immunology DO - 10.17352/jvi.000032 DA - 2020-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/an-alternative-strategy-for-studying-emerging-atypical-porcine-M9wnVTW6fW DP - DeepDyve ER -
