Abstract
Porcine parvovirus 1 (PPV1) is a major cause of reproductive failure in pigs; to date, six novel porcine parvoviruses (PPV2–PPV7) have been identified. Here, we detected 11 PPV1, five PPV3, three PPV4, six PPV5, five PPV6, and one PPV7 strain in Korean wild boars. PPV1, -3, and -5, and PPV6, from Korean wild boars harbor conserved motifs within the Ca2+ binding loop and the catalytic center of the PLA1 motif. Intra-recombination among PPV7 strains was also identified. Genetic characterization revealed that PPV1 from Korean wild boars may be similar to virulent PPV strains.
