ABSTRACT
Porcine Kobuvirus (PKV) infection is very common in pigs throughout the world. Since it has never been investigated in Serbia, to contribute to the knowledge of Porcine Kobuvirus, its role, and distribution, we tested 200 samples from domestic pigs and wild boars. From domestic pigs, 10 fecal, 22 spleen and 68 serum samples, and 100 spleen samples from wild boars were tested. The virus prevalence determined by real-time RT-PCR in domestic pigs was 22% and in wild boars 6%. The phylogenetic analysis of 3D region revealed that Serbian strains are closest related to the Hungarian strain from wild boar from 2011. This is the first report on PKV in Serbia in domestic pigs and wild boars, implying its wide circulation. Although the infection could not be directly related to any clinical manifestation, the frequency of virus found in feces suggests viral affinity to the gastrointestinal tract. However, due to the rather ubiquitous presence of PKV, the clinical and pathological assessment have to be considered when PKV infection is diagnosed.
